Overview
The DMG Mori CMX 1100 V is the largest machine in DMG Mori’s entry-level CMX V series, delivering 1,100 x 560 x 510 mm (43.3 x 22.0 x 20.1 in) of travel in a footprint that fits most mid-size shops. It competes directly with machines like the Haas VF-4 and Mazak VCN-530C, but with German-Japanese engineering behind it and a SIEMENS or FANUC control on the front.
The spindle runs an SK 40 (BIG-PLUS compatible) taper at 12,000 RPM with 13 kW (17.4 hp) continuous power. An inline direct-drive spindle option bumps that to 15,000 RPM for shops doing more aluminum and non-ferrous work. Rapid traverse hits 42 m/min across all axes on roller guides, which is competitive for this price class.
The 1,500 x 580 mm (59.1 x 22.8 in) table handles up to 1,000 kg (2,205 lb), giving shops the ability to fixture large steel weldments and cast iron housings without worrying about weight limits. The 24-tool arm-type ATC delivers 1.5-second chip-to-chip times, with 30 and 40-tool magazine options available.
DMG Mori designed the CMX V series for shops stepping up from budget VMCs. The machine gets its rigidity from cast iron construction with optimized ribbing and hand-scraped surfaces at critical joints. The coolant system includes a 280L tank with paper band filtration standard, and through-spindle coolant is available as an option.
New CMX 1100 V machines price between $110,000 and $155,000 depending on control choice and options. Used units from 2018-2022 trade in the $65,000-$95,000 range. The CMX 1100 V competes with the Haas VF-4, Mazak VCN-530C, and Okuma GENOS M660-V in the large-format VMC segment. Specs sourced from DMG Mori published data and dealer listings.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,100 mm X-travel handles large parts that exceed 30-inch class VMCs, without stepping up to a full bridge-type machine
- 1,000 kg table capacity supports heavy fixtures and tombstones for production work in steel and cast iron
- Choice of SIEMENS 840D sl or FANUC 0i-MF Plus control lets shops match the machine to their existing operator skill set
- BIG-PLUS spindle interface provides face-and-taper contact for better rigidity and reduced vibration during heavy cuts
- Cast iron construction with hand-scraped joints delivers thermal stability and vibration damping above typical entry-level VMCs
- 15,000 RPM inline spindle option makes the machine competitive for aluminum production without sacrificing steel capability
Limitations
- 13 kW continuous spindle power is modest for a machine this size — heavy roughing in hardened steel may require conservative parameters
- 24-tool standard magazine fills up quickly on complex parts; shops running high-mix work should budget for the 30 or 40-tool upgrade
- At 7,200 kg, it is lighter than some competitors in this travel class, which can mean slightly less rigidity during aggressive interrupted cuts
- DMG Mori parts and service costs run higher than Haas, which affects total cost of ownership for budget-conscious shops

Frequently Asked Questions
01
New CMX 1100 V machines start around $110,000 for a base FANUC configuration. With SIEMENS 840D sl control, through-spindle coolant, probing, and expanded tool magazine, expect $130,000-$155,000. Used units from 2018-2022 sell for $65,000-$95,000.
02
Similar travel envelope, but the CMX 1100 V offers faster rapids (42 vs 25.4 m/min), quicker tool changes (1.5 vs 4.2 sec chip-to-chip), and BIG-PLUS spindle interface. The Haas VF-4 costs significantly less and has lower service costs. The DMG Mori wins on speed and build quality; the Haas wins on value and simplicity.
03
Match your shop existing skill set. FANUC is more common in North American shops and has a shallower learning curve. SIEMENS 840D sl is preferred in aerospace and medical shops that need advanced 5-axis capabilities or ShopMill conversational programming. Resale value is roughly equal for both options.
04
Yes. The machine comes 4th-axis ready with wiring and hydraulics pre-installed. DMG Mori offers matching rotary tables, or you can fit aftermarket units from Tsudakoma, Kitagawa, or similar. The 1,000 kg table load accommodates most 4th-axis setups with room to spare.
