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 DMC 270 u FD is a gantry-type 5-axis machining center that mills and turns in one setup, with 2,700 mm (106.3 in) of travel in X and in Y and 1,600 mm (63 in) in Z. It accepts workpieces up to 3,400 mm (133.9 in) in diameter, 1,620 mm (63.8 in) high and 9,000 kg (19,841.6 lb). A pallet changer is standard, so the next part can be set up while the current one is in the cut.

The permitted diameter is larger than either horizontal travel. That is normal for a machine with a rotating table: a round part is turned under the spindle instead of being reached from edge to edge, so the travels only have to cover part of it at a time. Turning is done on a DirectDrive table with torque up to 8,113.2 ft lb, and DMG MORI also lists grinding as an integrated technology, which keeps a ring or housing on one fixture from roughing to the finished surface.

Two spindle types are named. The powerMASTER motor spindle delivers up to 737.6 ft lb and the torqueMASTER gear spindle 1,327.6 ft lb, so the gear spindle is the one to look at for large cutters in steel or cast iron. Neither speed nor power is given in the listed figures; those have to come from the quotation. Feed speed is up to 2,362.2 ipm, and the wheel type magazine holds up to 243 tools.

On a machine of this size, thermal growth is a main source of error. DMG MORI lists a water-cooled feed drive, cooled linear guideways and active spindle growth control, and a band filter unit with 2,500 l is standard. The cross beam of the gantry moves vertically with hydraulic weight compensation. In the range, the DMC 210 u FD sits below with 2,100 × 2,100 × 1,250 mm (82.7 × 82.7 × 49.2 in) of travel and the DMC 340 u FD above with 3,400 × 3,400 × 2,000 mm (133.9 × 133.9 × 78.7 in).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

A pallet changer is standard, so setup of the next part runs in parallel with machining
DirectDrive table with torque up to 8,113.2 ft lb for turning in the same setup as milling
Choice of a powerMASTER motor spindle with up to 737.6 ft lb or a torqueMASTER gear spindle with 1,327.6 ft lb
The wheel type magazine holds up to 243 tools
Water-cooled feed drive, cooled linear guideways and active spindle growth control are listed against thermal drift
A band filter unit with 2,500 l is standard equipment

Limitations

Part height stops at 1,620 mm (63.8 in); the DMC 340 u FD offers 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of Z travel against 1,600 mm (63 in) here
DMG MORI's listed figures give spindle torque but no spindle speed or power, so the spindle has to be specified from the quotation
243 tools is the upper limit of the magazine; the pocket count of the standard magazine is not stated
No footprint, machine weight or connected load is published in these figures, and all three are needed before the foundation can be planned

Best For

Round parts up to 3,400 mm (133.9 in) in diameter that need turning and milling in one setup Heavy workpieces up to 9,000 kg (19,841.6 lb), set up on the pallet changer during machining Rings and housings finished on one fixture, including integrated grinding Jobs with long tool lists, with up to 243 tools in the wheel type magazine

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size of workpiece does the DMC 270 u FD take?

Up to 3,400 mm (133.9 in) in diameter, 1,620 mm (63.8 in) in height and 9,000 kg (19,841.6 lb). The linear travels are 2,700 mm (106.3 in) in X and Y and 1,600 mm (63 in) in Z. The diameter can exceed the horizontal travel because the table rotates the part under the spindle.

02 Can the DMC 270 u FD turn as well as mill?

Yes. DMG MORI describes milling and turning in one setup with the DirectDrive table, which has a torque of up to 8,113.2 ft lb. Grinding is listed as an integrated technology as well, so a turned and milled part can be finished without moving it to another machine.

03 Which spindles are offered on the DMC 270 u FD?

DMG MORI names two: a powerMASTER motor spindle with up to 737.6 ft lb and a torqueMASTER gear spindle with 1,327.6 ft lb. The gear spindle carries about 80% more torque. Spindle speed and power are not part of the listed figures, so ask for both when you request a quotation.

04 How does the DMC 270 u FD compare with the DMC 210 u FD and the DMC 340 u FD?

It is the middle size. The DMC 210 u FD has 2,100 × 2,100 × 1,250 mm (82.7 × 82.7 × 49.2 in) of travel, the DMC 270 u FD 2,700 × 2,700 × 1,600 mm (106.3 × 106.3 × 63 in), and the DMC 340 u FD 3,400 × 3,400 × 2,000 mm (133.9 × 133.9 × 78.7 in).

05 Is a pallet changer included, and how many tools does the magazine hold?

The pallet changer is listed as standard; DMG MORI describes it as allowing setup parallel to machining time. The wheel type tool magazine holds up to 243 tools. That figure is the maximum, so confirm the size of the magazine in the offered configuration.
