Machine Comparison
DMG Mori i 50 vs DMG Mori INH 63
DMG Mori vs DMG Mori · Horizontal Machining Centers
Summary
The DMG Mori i 50 and the DMG Mori INH 63 are both horizontal machining centers, but they sit in different size classes and serve different jobs. The DMG Mori i 50 is a compact machine for volume parts on production lines; the DMG Mori INH 63 has about twice the travel in every axis.
The DMG Mori INH 63 moves 1,050 mm (41.3 in) in X and Z and 1,100 mm (43.3 in) in Y, against 500 mm (19.7 in) in X and Z and 550 mm (21.7 in) in Y on the DMG Mori i 50. Its table load is 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb) against 400 kg (881.8 lb). The table for this pair covers travels and load only, so the comparison rests on size.

Advantages
DMG Mori i 50
- Compact 500 x 550 x 500 mm envelope for volume parts up to 400 kg (881.8 lb)
- Suited to multi-machine lines served by a gantry-type loader, where floor width per machine is the constraint
DMG Mori INH 63
- 1,050 mm (41.3 in) of X and Z travel against 500 mm (19.7 in)
- 1,100 mm (43.3 in) of Y travel against 550 mm (21.7 in)
- 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb) load against 400 kg (881.8 lb)
Verdict
Choose by part size. The DMG Mori i 50 fits volume parts up to 400 kg (881.8 lb) within 500 x 550 x 500 mm, run on lines where several machines share a loader and floor width is tight. The DMG Mori INH 63 is for larger and heavier work, including 5-axis parts and heavy roughing in steel and cast iron, with 1,050 x 1,100 x 1,050 mm of travel and a 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb) load.
