DMG Mori DMF 600 linear provides large component prismatic machining plus turning
1 min read
The DMF 600 linear, DMG Mori's top of the range travelling column machining centre, is capable of prismatically machining components weighing up to 10 tonnes – and optionally turning them as well within a 6,000?by 1,100?by 900?mm working envelope.
The DMG Mori DMF 600 linear features a stable machine bed of vibration-reducing, high performance concrete and a thermo-symmetrical travelling column. The solid bed gives the machine a low centre of gravity.
Adjacent to the column is a travelling tool magazine – which has 30 pockets in the standard version – for rapid automatic tool change and a chip-to-chip time of under eight sec. Optionally, the tool magazine's capacity can be extended to 60 or even 120 tools.
The linear motor in the X-axis provides high accuracy rapid traverse up to 80 m/min that minimises idle times. Feedrate in the Y and Z-axes is also fast at 60 m/min.
The standard version of the DMF 600 linear has an 8,000 rpm spindle, although alternatives up to 18,000?rpm are available. There is also a 10,000?rpm spindle with 413?Nm of torque and SK50 or HSK A100 interface, providing high power for heavy machining.
All spindle versions are available with a B-axis. Combined with integrated NC rotary tables, the machine thus offers complete machining and turn-milling technology.
Due to its large size, the DMF 600 linear is intended for machining long and heavy workpieces and is targeted at OEMs and subcontractors in aerospace, power engineering and mechanical engineering. However, a work area partition can be supplied to extend the range of applications to pendulum machining of smaller components. Minimal spindle idle time with offline workpiece set-up boosts productivity.
Control of the machine is by either a Heidenhain iTNC530 or an Operate 4.5 on Siemens 840D solutionline. Operate 4.5 is the new system platform applicable to all DMG Mori Siemens-controlled machines.
