DMG Mori CMX 600 V vs DMG Mori CMX 800 V
DMG Mori vs DMG Mori · Vertical Machining Centers
Summary
The DMG Mori CMX 600 V and the DMG Mori CMX 800 V are two sizes of the same vertical machining center. They share 560 mm (22 in) of Y travel, 510 mm (20.1 in) of Z travel, 6 µm positioning accuracy in all axes without linear scales and the same choice of SIEMENS, HEIDENHAIN or FANUC control. The difference is length and load.
The CMX 800 V has 800 mm (31.5 in) of X travel against 600 mm (23.6 in), a 43.3 x 22.0 in table against 35.4 x 22.0 in, and an 800 kg (1,763.7 lb) load limit against 600 kg (1,322.8 lb). It takes workpieces up to 1,100 mm (43.3 in) long against 900 mm (35.4 in). The CMX 600 V needs less floor space: 63.5 ft² against 75.3 ft².

Advantages
DMG Mori CMX 600 V
- Smaller footprint: 63.5 ft² against 75.3 ft²
- Keeps the full 560 mm (22 in) of Y and 510 mm (20.1 in) of Z travel in the shorter machine
DMG Mori CMX 800 V
- 800 mm (31.5 in) of X travel against 600 mm (23.6 in)
- 800 kg (1,763.7 lb) table load against 600 kg (1,322.8 lb)
- 43.3 x 22.0 in table against 35.4 x 22.0 in, room for two or three vises in a row
- Workpieces up to 1,100 mm (43.3 in) long against 900 mm (35.4 in)
Verdict
Choose by part length and floor space. The DMG Mori CMX 600 V suits plate, block and vise work that stays within 600 mm (23.6 in) of X and 600 kg (1,322.8 lb), and it saves floor space at 63.5 ft². The DMG Mori CMX 800 V is the better fit for longer parts or two or three vises in a row, with 800 mm (31.5 in) of X travel and an 800 kg (1,763.7 lb) limit. Y, Z, accuracy and control options are the same on both.
