Advantages
DMG Mori CMX 800 V
- Greater x travel of 800 mm (31.5 in) accommodates larger workpieces
- Greater y travel of 560 mm (22 in) accommodates larger workpieces
- Greater z travel of 510 mm (20.1 in) accommodates larger workpieces
- More spindle power at 13 kW (17.4 hp) standard; 20 kW (26.8 hp) inlineMASTER for aggressive material removal in harder materials
- Superior table size at 1,100 x 560 mm (43.3 x 22 in) vs 600 x 420 mm (23.6 x 16.5 in)
DMG Mori DMP 35
- Higher maximum spindle speed of 15,000 RPM enables faster cutting on aluminum and non-ferrous materials
- Faster rapid traverse at 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) reduces non-cutting time between operations
- Backed by DMG Mori's dealer and service network for parts and support
- Automotive production cells machining small steel and aluminum components in high volumes
Verdict
The DMG Mori CMX 800 V holds a spec advantage in this comparison, but the right choice depends on your shop's priorities. If the DMG Mori CMX 800 V's strengths in areas like X Travel and Y Travel align with your work, it's the clear pick. The DMG Mori DMP 35 may still win on dealer proximity, existing tooling compatibility, or specific features that matter most to your applications. Request quotes from both dealers and, if possible, run your actual parts on each machine before deciding.
