Overview

The DMG MORI DMC 65 h FD monoBLOCK is a horizontal 5-axis machining center with a swivel rotary table and a double pallet changer. Travels are 650 mm (25.6 in) in X, 950 mm (37.4 in) in Y and 700 mm (27.6 in) in Z, and the workpiece may be up to 630 mm (24.8 in) in diameter and 700 mm (27.6 in) high.

Y is the long axis, which is the signature of the horizontal layout. The DMC 65 FD monoBLOCK travels 735 mm (28.9 in), 650 mm (25.6 in) and 560 mm (22 in) in X, Y and Z, so the h version gives up some X and gains Y and Z. DMG MORI describes the working area as laid out for clamping towers as well as 5-axis components, and the 700 mm height limit is what lets a loaded tower fit. With the spindle horizontal, chips fall away from the part instead of collecting on it, which DMG MORI cites for chip and heat dissipation.

The swivel rotary table is carried in bearings on both sides and can be clamped. A mill-turn variant is listed for complete machining with up to 1,200 rpm. The Highlights do not name the standard tool interface; an HSK-A100 version is available for tools up to 11 in. in diameter and 48.5 lbs.

The bed is a one-piece cast iron casting on 3-point support, and the thermosymmetrical design with its cooling measures is credited with long-term accuracy of up to 196.8 µin. Because of the double pallet changer, the operator loads the next job while the machine is cutting. A standardized interface is provided for automation.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

950 mm (37.4 in) of Y travel and a 700 mm (27.6 in) workpiece height for clamping towers and tall parts
Double pallet changer allows loading during machining
Swivel rotary table with bearings on both sides, with clamping
Mill-turn variant listed with up to 1,200 rpm
HSK-A100 version available for tools up to 11 in. in diameter and 48.5 lbs.
Long-term accuracy of up to 196.8 µin. from a thermosymmetrical, cooled design

Limitations

Workpiece diameter is limited to 630 mm (24.8 in)
No milling spindle speed, power or torque is stated in DMG MORI's data for this model
HSK-A100 is listed as an additional version, so the tool limits of 11 in. and 48.5 lbs. do not apply to every machine
Tool magazine capacity is not stated in the Highlights

Best For

5-axis components up to 630 mm (24.8 in) in diameter and 700 mm (27.6 in) high Clamping-tower work on pallets, with loading during machining Combined milling and turning on the mill-turn variant at up to 1,200 rpm Heavy tools up to 11 in. and 48.5 lbs. with the HSK-A100 version

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the DMC 65 h FD monoBLOCK differ from the DMC 65 FD monoBLOCK?

By its travels and layout. The DMC 65 h FD monoBLOCK travels 650 mm (25.6 in) in X, 950 mm (37.4 in) in Y and 700 mm (27.6 in) in Z and machines horizontally with a double pallet changer. The DMC 65 FD monoBLOCK is listed with 735 mm (28.9 in) in X, 650 mm (25.6 in) in Y and 560 mm (22 in) in Z.

02 What is the maximum workpiece size on the DMC 65 h FD monoBLOCK?

630 mm (24.8 in) in diameter and 700 mm (27.6 in) in height. DMG MORI describes the working area as suited to both clamping towers and 5-axis components. For the permissible load, take the figure from the quotation for the table version ordered.

03 What turning speed is available?

DMG MORI lists a mill-turn variant for complete machining with up to 1,200 rpm. The Highlights do not give the torque or power available in turning, so ask for those, and for the permissible unbalance if the parts are not rotationally symmetric.

04 Can the DMC 65 h FD monoBLOCK run large tools?

With the HSK-A100 tool holder, which DMG MORI lists as an available version, tools can be up to 11 in. in diameter and 48.5 lbs. The limits for the base tool interface are not stated in the Highlights, and neither is the magazine capacity.

05 Which models sit either side of it in size?

The DMC 85 h FD monoBLOCK is the next size up, with travels of 850 mm (33.5 in), 1,150 mm (45.3 in) and 900 mm (35.4 in) in X, Y and Z against 650 mm (25.6 in), 950 mm (37.4 in) and 700 mm (27.6 in) here. The DMC 55 H twin, a smaller machine, travels 580 mm (22.8 in), 750 mm (29.5 in) and 500 mm (19.7 in).
