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

A workpiece 3,400 mm (133.9 in) across, 1,960 mm (77.2 in) tall and weighing up to 10,000 kg (22,046.2 lb): that is the envelope of the DMG MORI DMC 340 u FD. Its X and Y travels are 3,400 mm (133.9 in) each, the same figure as the maximum part diameter, and Z travel is 2,000 mm (78.7 in). The structure is a gantry whose cross beam moves vertically, with hydraulic weight compensation for the beam.

Milling and turning happen in one setup. The turning axis is a DirectDrive table with torque up to 7,523.1 ft lb, and grinding is listed as a further integrated technology. With parts in this weight class, slinging, levelling and clamping take a long time, which is why the standard pallet changer matters: that work moves outside the machining time instead of stopping the spindle.

Spindle selection here is a question of torque. DMG MORI names a powerMASTER motor spindle with up to 737.6 ft lb and a torqueMASTER gear spindle with 1,327.6 ft lb, about 80% more. Face mills and boring tools of large diameter in steel or cast iron point to the gear spindle, while a shop that mostly contours with smaller tools will weigh the motor spindle. The listed figures stop at torque, so speed and power need to be confirmed for whichever spindle is quoted. Tools come from a wheel type magazine with up to 243 tools.

Feed speed reaches up to 2,362.2 ipm, which shortens the long positioning moves a gantry of this span makes between features. For accuracy over long cycles 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 comes as standard. One size down, the DMC 270 u FD has 2,700 × 2,700 × 1,600 mm (106.3 × 106.3 × 63 in) of travel, so the DMC 340 u FD gives about 26% more X and Y and 25% more Z.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

X and Y travels of 3,400 mm (133.9 in) match the 3,400 mm maximum part diameter, with 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of Z above it
Carries workpieces up to 10,000 kg (22,046.2 lb) and 1,960 mm (77.2 in) high
Turning on a DirectDrive table with torque up to 7,523.1 ft lb, in the same clamping as the milling work
torqueMASTER gear spindle with 1,327.6 ft lb for heavy cuts, or a powerMASTER motor spindle with up to 737.6 ft lb
Pallet changer listed as standard, so heavy parts are set up while another is machined

Limitations

The standard number of tool pockets is not given; 243 tools is the maximum of the wheel type magazine
Spindle speed and power are missing from DMG MORI's listed figures, so cutting data cannot be planned from them alone
Feed speed of up to 2,362.2 ipm is stated as an upper limit, without separate values for each axis
Machine weight, footprint and power connection are not published here and must be obtained for foundation and building planning

Best For

Mill-turn work on parts up to 3,400 mm (133.9 in) in diameter and 1,960 mm (77.2 in) high Workpieces approaching 10,000 kg (22,046.2 lb) that should not leave their fixture between operations Heavy roughing with the 1,327.6 ft lb torqueMASTER gear spindle Large components that need a ground finish after turning and milling

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How tall and how heavy can a part be on the DMC 340 u FD?

The maximum workpiece height is 1,960 mm (77.2 in) and the maximum workpiece weight is 10,000 kg (22,046.2 lb). Z travel is 2,000 mm (78.7 in), only slightly more than the part height, so tool length and the height of the fixture both need checking against a tall part.

02 What torque does the turning table of the DMC 340 u FD have?

DMG MORI states a torque of up to 7,523.1 ft lb for the DirectDrive table, which is what turns the part during turning operations. A table speed is not among the listed figures, so ask for it together with the permitted load at speed.

03 How much bigger is the DMC 340 u FD than the DMC 270 u FD?

The DMC 340 u FD travels 3,400 × 3,400 × 2,000 mm (133.9 × 133.9 × 78.7 in). The DMC 270 u FD travels 2,700 × 2,700 × 1,600 mm (106.3 × 106.3 × 63 in). That gives the DMC 340 u FD about 26% more X and Y and 25% more Z than the DMC 270 u FD.

04 What does the gantry design mean on this machine?

DMG MORI describes a gantry design with a vertically moving cross beam and hydraulic weight compensation. The beam carrying the spindle is raised and lowered, and its weight is balanced hydraulically, so the drives do not have to hold that mass on their own across the 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of Z travel.

05 What coolant filtration comes with the DMC 340 u FD?

A band filter unit with 2,500 l is listed as standard. The same Highlights name a water-cooled feed drive, cooled linear guideways and active spindle growth control, all aimed at keeping the machine dimensionally stable through long cycles.
