Struggling to find a machine that can handle large, heavy workpieces without sacrificing precision or productivity? The DBC 110 II is designed to solve that problem, offering high rigidity, powerful cutting capabilities, and automation features that maximize output.

Whether you're in aerospace, automotive, or die and mold manufacturing, this horizontal boring mill delivers the performance you need. Keep reading to discover how the DBC 110 II can transform your machining operations.

High-Rigidity Structure for Heavy-Duty Machining

A standout feature of the DBC 110 II is its high-rigidity structure, which enables stable and precise machining even under heavy loads. Built on a foundation of box guideways, this machine tool offers a stable platform for high-precision machining. This feature is especially important for industries working with large components that require both precision and power.

The DBC 110 II handles workpieces weighing up to 10,000 kg (22,045.9 lbs), with a maximum swing diameter of 3400 mm (133.9 inches), making it ideal for large-scale projects. This level of capacity ensures that even the heaviest, most complex parts can be machined with ease. For manufacturers dealing with such large parts, every cut must be precise, and the DBC 110 II delivers the necessary stability to achieve this precision.

Advanced Spindle Design for Superior Performance

One of the key advantages of the DBC 110 II is its high-speed, high-performance spindle, which operates at 4000 rpm. This powerful spindle is supported by highly rigid bearings, allowing it to handle heavy axial loads during machining operations. This design ensures stable cutting, even during long, continuous operations, which is critical for maintaining high productivity in demanding environments.

Efficiency Through Automation

The DBC 110 II is equipped with a range of automation features designed to enhance productivity. The automatic tool changer (ATC), which holds up to 40 tools, with an optional capacity of up to 120 tools, ensures continuous operation and minimizes downtime for tool changes. This is especially valuable in high-volume production environments where efficiency is key.

The machine also features an automatic pallet changer (APC) that allows operators to set up the next workpiece while machining is still in progress. This parallel operation reduces idle time, increasing overall throughput. In industries where production schedules are tight, the ability to minimize setup times while keeping the machine running is a huge advantage.

Precision with the B-Axis Rotary Table

For large, complex parts, accuracy in rotation is just as important as cutting precision. The B-axis rotary table on the DBC 110 II is equipped with a high-precision encoder, ensuring that workpieces can be rotated and positioned accurately. This is particularly beneficial for jobs that require multi-axis machining, where the precision of rotational movements directly impacts the final quality of the part.

Customization and Control with DN Solutions Technology

The DBC 110 II is powered by DN Solutions' Fanuc i Plus CNC system, offering advanced control features for ease of operation and customization. The 15-inch color touchscreen display provides a user-friendly interface, allowing operators to easily program and manage complex machining tasks. With the EZ-Guide i conversational programming solution, operators can simplify the process of setting up jobs, reducing the need for extensive manual programming.

For manufacturers looking to automate and optimize their processes, the DBC 110 II also supports features such as tool management and tool load monitoring. These functions help detect abnormal loads caused by tool wear, triggering alarms to prevent damage to both the tool and the workpiece. This level of monitoring and control not only improves tool life but also enhances overall machining accuracy.

Coolant and Chip Management

Managing coolant and chips is critical when working with large parts and heavy-duty cutting. The DBC 110 II includes a flood coolant system and various chip disposal systems, such as the hinged belt-type chip conveyor, which ensures that chips are removed efficiently from the work area. This system prevents buildup that can interfere with machining, contributing to a cleaner and more productive workspace.

The Ultimate Choice for You

For manufacturers looking to take their operations to the next level, the DBC 110 II offers the perfect blend of power, precision, and productivity. From its high-speed spindle and high-rigidity structure to its automation features and advanced control system, this machine is designed to handle the most demanding machining tasks.
