Overview

The DMG MORI DMC 160 H FD monoBLOCK is listed as a large horizontal machining center with 1,600 mm (63 in) of X and Y travel and 1,250 mm (49.2 in) of Z, working on 1,250 x 1,000 mm (49.2 x 39.4 in) pallets loaded to 3,000 kg (6,614 lb). It is not in DMG MORI's current lineup and may be an older model, so treat the listed figures as a starting point and confirm them against the documentation of the actual machine.

The listed spindle is an HSK-A100 unit with 10,000 rpm, 52 kW (70 hp) and 520 Nm (383 ft-lb). That combination points to heavy milling with large cutters more than to high-speed finishing. A B-axis swivel of -45 to +180 degrees, 225 degrees in total and direct-driven, is listed for angled and multi-sided work. Rapid traverse is 60 m/min (2,362 ipm).

For long unattended runs the listed data gives 63 tools as standard with up to 303 available, a chip-to-chip time of 5.5 seconds and a pallet change in 60 seconds. On a used machine, check which magazine is fitted. Two controls are named, CELOS with Siemens 840D solutionline or HEIDENHAIN TNC7, and the one installed decides the post-processor and the operator training. The listed data contains no table speed or other turning figures.

For scale, the DMC 160 u FD duoBLOCK has the same 1,600 mm (63 in) of X and Y with 1,100 mm (43.3 in) of Z.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Listed travels of 1,600 x 1,600 x 1,250 mm (63 x 63 x 49.2 in)
Pallets of 1,250 x 1,000 mm (49.2 x 39.4 in) with a listed load of 3,000 kg (6,614 lb)
HSK-A100 spindle listed at 52 kW (70 hp) and 520 Nm (383 ft-lb), up to 10,000 rpm
Listed B-axis swivel of -45 to +180 degrees with direct drive
63 tools as standard, with magazines of up to 303 tools listed

Limitations

Not in DMG MORI's current lineup, so the listed figures need confirming on the machine itself
A top speed of 10,000 rpm limits small-tool and high-speed finishing work
The listed data gives no table speed or turning figures
Pallet change is listed at 60 seconds, which adds up on short-cycle parts

Best For

Large prismatic parts up to 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) on 1,250 x 1,000 mm pallets Heavy milling with HSK-A100 tooling at up to 520 Nm (383 ft-lb) Multi-sided machining using the listed 225-degree B-axis swivel

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is the DMC 160 H FD monoBLOCK a current DMG MORI model?

It is not in the current lineup and may be an older model. The listed figures are 1,600 mm (63 in) of X and Y travel, 1,250 mm (49.2 in) of Z and a 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) pallet load. Anyone assessing a used machine should confirm travels, spindle and magazine from its own documentation.

02 What spindle is listed for the DMC 160 H FD monoBLOCK?

An HSK-A100 spindle with a maximum speed of 10,000 rpm, 52 kW (70 hp) of power and 520 Nm (383 ft-lb) of torque. Those are figures for large face mills and drills in tough materials. For small tools the 10,000 rpm ceiling is the limiting value.

03 What tool magazine and pallet figures are listed?

63 tools as standard, with up to 303 available, and a chip-to-chip time of 5.5 seconds. The pallet is 1,250 x 1,000 mm (49.2 x 39.4 in), carries 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) and is changed in 60 seconds. The number of pallets is not listed.

04 Which control does the DMC 160 H FD monoBLOCK have?

The listed data names CELOS with Siemens 840D solutionline or HEIDENHAIN TNC7. A given machine has one of the two. Establish which before buying, because it determines the post-processor, the training the operators need and whether existing programs can be reused.
