DMG April Open House

All the main DMG technology groups will be represented, and amongst the 12 or more machines being put through their paces will be four appearing for the first time in the UK. Based on the high-selling DMU50, the larger DMU70 is a machine that is economical in the machining of small batch sizes down to one-offs, and with an exceptionalprice-performance ratio. Optimised for the high demands of flexible series production, the new DMC55H duoBLOCK horizontal machining centre takes pallet sizes up to 400 by 400 mm. The DMC55H is the first of DMG’s patented duoBLOCK® in the compact class. The new ULTRASONIC 50 linear combines hard machining of advanced materials and conventional HSC-milling on a single machine and offers exceptional performance. Its wide-ranging capability allows this new addition to be used to machine materials that could not previously be considered. For example glass materials such as germanium, mono- and poly-crystalline silicone present no problem to this machine; nor do carbon fibre, carbide, sapphire, ruby, mother of pearl or agate, the list is considerable. New to DMG’s turn-mill machine range is the GMX 200S linear that allows the user to get from drawing to 3D piece part in the shortest possible time. It comes complete the new Siemens SolutionLine controller with integrated ShopTurn programming, a dedicated turn-mill system that makes the GMX 200S as simple to adopt as a universal lathe. Both tooling supplier Seco and CADCAM software supplier OpenMind will be in attendance.
