DN Solution DVF 5000 2nd Generation - Five Axis Machining

See the DVF 5000 2nd Gen in Action

Experience the speed, precision, and flexibility of the DN Solutions DVF 5000 2nd Gen 5-axis machining center. Built for complex parts, tighter tolerances, and fewer setups, the DVF Series helps manufacturers increase productivity while maintaining exceptional accuracy across demanding applications.

What is the DVF 5000 2nd Generation?

The DN Solutions DVF 5000 2nd Generation is a high-productivity 5-axis simultaneous vertical machining center, available through Ellison Technologies, North America's largest machine tool distributor. It is built to machine complex parts to tight tolerances in a single setup, controlling all five axes (X, Y, Z, B, C) at once. A built-in spindle reaching up to 20,000 rpm, a rigid traveling-column structure, and an integrated tilt-rotary table make it well suited to aerospace components, medical implants, impellers, and mold-and-die cavities.

Who is the DVF 5000 2nd Gen built for?

The DVF 5000 2nd Gen is built for shops producing complex, multi-face parts that would otherwise require several setups on a 3-axis machine. Because the B and C axes let you reach multiple faces of a workpiece without re-fixturing, manufacturers reduce setups, cut handling time, and improve finished-part accuracy. Typical applications include:

  • Aerospace structural and engine components

  • Medical implants and instruments

  • Impellers and turbine-style geometry

  • 3D contoured surfaces, molds, and die cavities

How does the DVF 5000 2nd Gen hold tight tolerances?

The DVF 5000 2nd Gen holds tight tolerances through a combination of rigid construction, full-axis cooling, and active thermal compensation. The bed is a one-piece Meehanite cast-iron structure, and the traveling-column design distributes load evenly across the linear roller guideways for stability under heavy cuts. Absolute glass scales on the X, Y, and Z axes and absolute rotary encoders on the B and C axes give positional feedback that does not require referencing at power-on. Smart thermal compensation uses eight sensors across the spindle, column, and bed, while standard spindle-oil and coolant chillers keep thermal growth to a minimum.

What spindle and toolchanger does it use?

The DVF 5000 2nd Gen uses a built-in drive spindle with a BIG PLUS CAT 40 interface, supported by air-oil mist-lubricated bearings for thermal stability and low vibration at high rpm. The servo-driven double-arm automatic tool changer exchanges tools in 1.3 seconds (tool-to-tool) with a 3.8-second chip-to-chip time, and is offered in 30-, 60-, and 120-tool capacities. Through-spindle coolant and through-spindle air are standard, supporting aggressive feeds and clean cutting in materials where flood coolant isn't ideal.

What control runs the DVF 5000 2nd Gen?

The DVF 5000 2nd Gen runs on CUFOS, the PC-based control developed by DN Solutions, with a 19-inch touchscreen, app-style interface, and 40 GB of program storage. CUFOS includes the Collision Protection System (CPS) to prevent tool-to-machine collisions in auto and manual modes, plus AICC II 1,000-block look-ahead and a data server for high-speed, high-accuracy contouring. The machine is Renishaw radio-probe ready (RMI-QE receiver and NC4F tool setter), and supports Tool Load Monitoring and Adaptive Feedrate Control.

FAQ Section

Is the DVF 5000 2nd Gen a true 5-axis machine?

Yes. It performs full 5-axis simultaneous machining using a combined tilting (B) and rotary (C) table, allowing complex shapes — impellers, mold cavities, and 3D surfaces — to be produced in a single setup.

What is the maximum spindle speed?

The built-in spindle reaches up to 20,000 rpm. The base configuration is 15,000 rpm with 20,000 rpm available as an option.


How fast is the tool change?

Tool-to-tool time is 1.3 seconds and chip-to-chip is 3.8 seconds, using a servo-driven double-arm changer available in 30, 60, or 120 tools.
 

Can it be automated?

Yes. The machine is automation-ready and supports an Automatic Workpiece Changer (AWC), with Multi-AWC configurations holding up to 40 workpieces for lights-out production.

Where can I buy the DVF 5000 2nd Generation?

The DVF 5000 2nd Generation is available through Ellison Technologies, the largest machine tool distributor in North America, with sales, applications engineering, and service support.
