Entry-level five face machining November 2007
 
The Deckel Maho DMU 40 MonoBLOCK universal machining centre with 5-axis simultaneous capability and up to 42,000 rpm spindle occupies no more than 4m² of floorspace.

The ultra-modern design of machining centre has been developed with operator ergonomics firmly in mind. The large revolving door gives total access to the working and tool magazine area and, when closed, this area can be easily viewed through a large shatterproof and scratch resistant safety glass panel in the door.

Its clear 19 in flat screen display, individually adjustable between 3º and 30º, is combined with DMG’s SlimLinePanel operating console, also adjustable between 15º and 70º, enabling the operator to create the most comfortable operating position

The DMU 40 MonoBLOCK will provide a five-sided tooling approach to the component for combined operational cycles via a high dynamics, NC swivelling milling head able to function as a B-axis with +30º to -95º of movement and heavy duty hydraulic clamping. The B-axis head is fully integrated with an NC rotary table of 450 mm diameter able to accept a maximum 250 kg and revolve as a C-axis under program control at up to 60 rpm. Axis strokes are 450 by 400 by 480 mm in X, Y and Z respectively with rapid traverse rate of 30 m/min achieved at an acceleration of 0.8G.
