How much does the DMG Mori CMX 50 U cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from DMG Mori. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The DMG MORI CMX 50 U is a compact 5-axis machining center built around a 500 mm (19.7 in) rotary table, with listed travels of 500 × 450 × 400 mm (19.7 × 17.7 × 15.7 in). It is not in DMG MORI's current lineup and may be an older model, so this page is most useful to someone weighing up a machine that already exists.
The envelope is generous for the travels: the listed limits are a workpiece 630 mm (24.8 in) in diameter and 550 mm (21.7 in) high. Weight is the tighter constraint at 200 kg (440.9 lb). A vise, a riser and a steel billet can reach that together, so add up the fixture before the part. The CMX 70 U, the next size up, is listed at 350 kg (771.6 lb) with 750 mm (29.5 in) of X travel.
The listed spindle runs at 12,000 rpm with 22 kW (30 hp) and 86 Nm (63 ft-lb), and 15,000 rpm appears as an option. That torque suits aluminium and light steel work with small and medium cutters more than heavy roughing. The magazine holds 30 tools as standard, with 60 optional, the tool change takes 3.0 sec tool-to-tool, and rapid traverse is 30 m/min (1,181 ipm).
The C axis rotates 360 deg continuously and the machine weighs 6,600 kg (14,551 lb). On a used example, confirm what was actually fitted: the control (the listed choice is CELOS with Fanuc 31i-B5 or Siemens 840D sl), the spindle interface, the spindle speed and the magazine size.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Listed workpiece envelope of 630 mm (24.8 in) diameter and 550 mm (21.7 in) height on a 500 mm (19.7 in) table
- 12,000 rpm spindle with 22 kW (30 hp) and 86 Nm (63 ft-lb), with 15,000 rpm listed as an option
- 30 tools as standard, 60 optional, and a 3.0 sec tool-to-tool change
- C axis with 360 deg continuous rotation, so a part can be indexed or contoured all the way round
- 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) rapid traverse on a machine weighing 6,600 kg (14,551 lb)
Limitations
- Workpiece weight is limited to 200 kg (440.9 lb), fixture included
- 86 Nm (63 ft-lb) of spindle torque restricts heavy roughing in steel
- Z travel is 400 mm (15.7 in), so long tools and tall parts compete for the same stroke
- 15,000 rpm and the 60-tool magazine are options, so a given machine may have neither

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed limits are 630 mm (24.8 in) in diameter, 550 mm (21.7 in) in height and 200 kg (440.9 lb). The table is 500 mm (19.7 in) in diameter and the travels are 500 mm (19.7 in) in X, 450 mm (17.7 in) in Y and 400 mm (15.7 in) in Z. Count the fixture toward the weight.
02
The listed spindle is 12,000 rpm with 22 kW (30 hp) and 86 Nm (63 ft-lb) of torque, and 15,000 rpm is shown as an option. On a used machine, check which speed was ordered and which tool interface is fitted, since the holders have to match.
03
30 tools as standard, with a 60-tool magazine listed as an option. The tool change is listed at 3.0 sec tool-to-tool. For 5-axis jobs that need many short tools and probes, check which magazine a particular machine has.
04
The CMX 70 U is the larger machine: 750 × 600 × 520 mm (29.5 × 23.6 × 20.5 in) of travel against 500 × 450 × 400 mm (19.7 × 17.7 × 15.7 in), a 630 mm (24.8 in) table and a listed workpiece weight of 350 kg (771.6 lb) against 200 kg (440.9 lb). Both are listed with 22 kW (30 hp) and 86 Nm (63 ft-lb). The CMX 70 U weighs 8,200 kg (18,078 lb), the CMX 50 U 6,600 kg (14,551 lb).
