DMG Mori DMF 200|8 vs DMG Mori DMF 300|11
DMG Mori vs DMG Mori · 5-Axis Machining Centers
Summary
The DMG Mori DMF 200|8 and DMF 300|11 are two sizes of the same long-travel 5-axis concept. Both offer spindles up to 20,000 RPM, up to 120 tool pockets and the same Siemens Sinumerik ONE or Heidenhain TNC7 control with CELOS X. The DMF 300|11 is larger on every axis.
It has 3,000 x 1,100 x 1,050 mm of travel against 2,000 x 800 x 850 mm, takes workpieces up to 3,600 mm long against 2,300 mm, and carries 6,000 kg (13,227.7 lb) against 2,000 kg (4,409.2 lb). Its spindle is also rated for up to 430 Nm of torque against up to 200 Nm. Spindle speed ranges are 15,000 - 20,000 RPM on the DMF 200|8 and 12,000 - 20,000 RPM on the DMF 300|11, the same at the top.

Advantages
DMG Mori DMF 200|8
- Spindle range of 15,000 - 20,000 RPM against 12,000 - 20,000 RPM
- The smaller of the pair, for long parts up to 2,300 mm (90.6 in) that do not need the 3,600 mm capacity
DMG Mori DMF 300|11
- 3,000 mm (118.1 in) X travel against 2,000 mm (78.7 in)
- 6,000 kg (13,227.7 lb) table load against 2,000 kg (4,409.2 lb)
- Workpieces up to 3,600 mm (141.7 in) long against 2,300 mm (90.6 in)
- Up to 430 Nm spindle torque against up to 200 Nm
Verdict
Buy the size your longest part needs. The DMF 200|8 covers wing spars, long mold bases and downhole tool components up to 2,300 mm long and 2,000 kg. The DMF 300|11 is for parts beyond that, up to 3,600 mm and 6,000 kg, such as large turbine casings and heavy frame members, and its 430 Nm spindle suits heavier cuts on them. Otherwise the two share spindle speeds, magazines and controls.
