Advantages
DMG Mori DMU 105 monoBLOCK
- Sized for work that fits within 1,135 x 1,050 x 750 mm of travel, where the larger envelope would go unused
- Rated for 2,000 kg (4,409.2 lb), enough for shops whose parts stay below that weight
DMG Mori DMU 125 monoBLOCK
- 1,335 mm (52.6 in) of X travel against 1,135 mm (44.7 in)
- 1,250 mm (49.2 in) of Y travel against 1,050 mm (41.3 in)
- 900 mm (35.4 in) of Z travel against 750 mm (29.5 in)
- 2,600 kg (5,732 lb) workpiece load against 2,000 kg (4,409.2 lb)
Verdict
Buy on part size. If the largest parts fit within 1,135 x 1,050 x 750 mm of travel and weigh no more than 2,000 kg (4,409.2 lb), the DMG Mori DMU 105 monoBLOCK does the work with the same spindle range and magazine. If parts need up to 1,335 mm (52.6 in) of X travel, 900 mm (35.4 in) of Z or a 2,600 kg (5,732 lb) load, only the DMG Mori DMU 125 monoBLOCK will take them.
