Turning capability added to DMG/Mori Seiki DMU 125 - DMU 125 FD

DMG/Mori Seiki has added a turning capability to its DMU 125 monoBLOCK vertical machining centre, naming the new machine the DMU 125 FD.

The DMU 125 FD monoBLOCK incorporates a 500 rpm, 5,400 Nm table, which features a clamping area of 1,250 mm diameter and a load capacity of 2,000 kg in the standard version - the tandem drive version has a capacity of 2,600 kg. The FD package for the DMU 125 FD monoBLOCK includes a 12,000 rpm HSK A100 motor spindle offering 44 kW and 299 Nm, well able to support heavy duty machining. (The machine has a full-protection safety cabin, whose laminated safety panes protect the operator reliably during fast turning operations.) The machine's footprint is just 22 sq m.
