DMG Mori latest machine has been developed to meet increasing demands for precision, dynamics and flexibility, and utilises the manufacturer's MX concept for process integration, automation, digital transformation and green transformation.
The platform integrates various manufacturing processes including milling, turning at up to 1,200 rpm, gear skiving using a proprietary technology cycle, and grinding. Inclusion of these additional metalcutting possibilities transforms the production centre into a multifunctional machining solution that can be flexibly adapted to a range of requirements and industries. Various automation alternatives maximise machine utilisation, around the clock if required.
Compared to its predecessor, the machine has a working volume 40 per cent larger at 750 x 550 x 550 mm. Direct-drive ballscrews in the linear axes are standard, but linear motors are an option offering 80 m/min rapid traverse. Table swivel range is generous at -5 / +110 degrees and maximum table load has increased by 100 kg to half a tonne. Steeply inclined, stainless steel interior surfaces and a 20 per cent wider conveyor ensure optimum chip evacuation and reliable production.
The machine bed is a hybrid mineral casting combining excellent stiffness, strength, vibration damping and thermal stability. Comprehensive cooling keeps critical components at a constant temperature. The second-generation DMU 60 eVo is also available in a µPrecision version, enabling it to machine the most demanding components to accuracies measured in low single figure microns.
The spindle portfolio includes versions capable of speeds up to 40,000 rpm or a torque of 200 Nm. Tool storage with 30, 60 or 120 pockets is within the machine's nine square metre footprint, which is 20 per cent smaller than before. A double-chain magazine is also available for up to 300 tools. Thanks to an innovative tool exchange shutter, chip-to-chip time has been reduced by one second to 4.5 seconds, further increasing machining efficiency.
Control options are the Siemens SINUMERIK ONE or Heidenhain's TNC 7, with the DMG Mori CELOS X graphical user interface and cloud-based software platform for data management. Automation can be provided by DMG Mori's WH Cell workpiece handling system, Robo2Go Milling or PH Cell pallet handling arrangement.
