Machine Comparison
DMG Mori LASERTEC 100 PowerDrill vs DMG Mori LASERTEC 20 PrecisionTool
DMG Mori vs DMG Mori · CNC Laser Cutting
Summary
The DMG Mori LASERTEC 100 PowerDrill and the DMG Mori LASERTEC 20 PrecisionTool are both laser machines, but they serve different jobs. The DMG Mori LASERTEC 100 PowerDrill drills cooling air holes in large aerospace and IGT components; the DMG Mori LASERTEC 20 PrecisionTool machines cutting edges in PCD, CVD-D and CBN tools.
The size gap is wide. The DMG Mori LASERTEC 100 PowerDrill travels 1,600 mm (63 in) in X and 1,000 mm (39.4 in) in Y and Z, against 200 mm (7.9 in), 400 mm (15.7 in) and 280 mm (11 in). Both run a Siemens 840D solutionline control, on the DMG Mori LASERTEC 20 PrecisionTool with Operate 4.7 on CELOS. The table for this pair covers travels and control only.

Advantages
DMG Mori LASERTEC 100 PowerDrill
- 1,600 mm (63 in) of X travel against 200 mm (7.9 in)
- 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of Y and Z travel against 400 mm (15.7 in) and 280 mm (11 in)
- Built for drilling hole patterns in large and rotating components
DMG Mori LASERTEC 20 PrecisionTool
- Compact 200 x 400 x 280 mm of travel sized for shank and HSK tools
- Suited to cutting edges, relief angles and chip breakers in PCD, CVD-D and CBN
Verdict
These machines do not compete. Choose the DMG Mori LASERTEC 100 PowerDrill for drilling cooling air holes and hole patterns in large aerospace and IGT parts, which is what its 1,600 mm (63 in) of X travel is for. Choose the DMG Mori LASERTEC 20 PrecisionTool for producing PCD, CVD-D and CBN cutting tools and inserts within 200 x 400 x 280 mm of travel. The application decides, not the spec table.
