DMG Mori DMF 300|11 vs DMG Mori DMU 100 P duoBLOCK
DMG Mori vs DMG Mori · 5-Axis Machining Centers
Summary
These two machines serve different jobs. The DMG Mori DMF 300|11 is a long-travel machine for long, heavy parts: 3,000 mm (118.1 in) of X travel, three times the 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of the DMG Mori DMU 100 P duoBLOCK, and a 6,000 kg (13,227.7 lb) workpiece load against 2,200 kg (4,850.2 lb). The DMG Mori DMU 100 P duoBLOCK is a 5-axis machine for tall housings and structural parts.
The DMG Mori DMU 100 P duoBLOCK has more Y travel, 1,250 mm (49.2 in) against 1,100 mm (43.3 in), and the larger magazine, 453 tool pockets against up to 120 pockets. Z travel is close, 1,050 mm (41.3 in) against 1,000 mm (39.4 in). Spindle torque is published in different units, up to 430 Nm against 737.6 ft lb (powerMASTER motorspindle) or 1,328 ft lb (torqueMASTER), so the table names no winner there.
