DMG Mori DMC 80 U duoBLOCK vs DMG Mori DMF 200|8
DMG Mori vs DMG Mori · 5-Axis Machining Centers
Summary
These two 5-axis machines serve different jobs. The DMG Mori DMC 80 U duoBLOCK is a pallet-changing machine for tall parts and high-torque milling, with 800 mm (31.5 in) of X travel and 1,050 mm (41.3 in) of Y. The DMG Mori DMF 200|8 is a machine for long, narrow parts such as rails, beams and profiles, with 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of X travel and 800 mm (31.5 in) of Y.
Both have 850 mm (33.5 in) of Z travel. The DMG Mori DMF 200|8 carries the heavier workpiece, 2,000 kg (4,409.2 lb) against 1,400 kg (3,086.5 lb). The DMG Mori DMC 80 U duoBLOCK has the larger magazine, 453 tool pockets against up to 120 pockets. Spindle torque is published in different units, 737.6 ft lb for the powerMASTER motorspindle or 958.8 ft lb for the torqueMASTER against up to 200 Nm, and the table names no winner on that row.
