Advantages
DMG Mori DMU 125 monoBLOCK
- 1,335 mm (52.6 in) of X travel against 1,250 mm (49.2 in)
- Suited to plates, flat bodies and discs loaded by crane
DMG Mori DMU 125 P duoBLOCK
- 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of Z travel against 900 mm (35.4 in)
- 2,800 kg (6,172.9 lb) workpiece load against 2,600 kg (5,732 lb)
- Spindles listed at 737.6 ft lb (powerMASTER motorspindle) or 1,327.6 ft lb (torqueMASTER) against up to 317 ft lb
- Wheel magazine with 453 tool pockets against up to 180 pockets
Verdict
Choose the DMG Mori DMU 125 P duoBLOCK for housings and tool bodies that need height and heavy roughing: 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of Z travel, a 2,800 kg (6,172.9 lb) load, torque up to 1,327.6 ft lb and 453 tool pockets. Choose the DMG Mori DMU 125 monoBLOCK for plates, flat bodies and discs, where its 1,335 mm (52.6 in) of X travel matters more than height and a spindle range of up to 317 ft lb is enough.
