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 80 U duoBLOCK is a 5-axis machining center with a rotating pallet changer as standard, 800 × 1,050 × 850 mm (31.5 × 41.3 × 33.5 in) of travel and room for workpieces up to 1,450 mm (57.1 in) tall and 1,400 kg (3,086.5 lb).

The pallet changer shapes how the machine is used. A part is set up outside the work area while another is being cut, so spindle time is not lost to clamping, and a 1,400 kg (3,086.5 lb) load does not have to be craned in against the clock. Tooling follows the same logic: the wheel magazine is quoted with 453 tool pockets and a tool replenishment time of at most 5.6 sec. The Highlights do not say how many pockets the base machine has.

Two spindles are named, and they pull in different directions. The powerMASTER motorspindle has 737.6 ft lb and 103.3 hp. The 5X torqueMASTER has 958.8 ft lb and 49.6 hp, which is 30% more torque on a little under half the power. Shops removing a lot of material at speed will look at the first, and those pushing large cutters slowly through tough alloys at the second. No speed is given for either.

Thermal behaviour is handled in the structure. The feed drive is completely water-cooled and a spindle growth sensor (SGS) compensates for the spindle lengthening as it warms. DMG MORI states a machine availability of 95%. A mill-turn version is also offered, with a DirectDrive table that reaches rotational speeds up to 800 rpm, and grinding is listed as an integrated technology. The DMC 80 u FD duoBLOCK shares these travels.

Maximum workpiece diameter is 900 mm (35.4 in) against 800 mm (31.5 in) of X travel, and the 1,450 mm (57.1 in) height exceeds the 850 mm (33.5 in) of Z. A part at either limit needs a reach study before the fixture is designed.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Rotating pallet changer as standard for setting up during machining
Workpieces up to 1,450 mm (57.1 in) tall and 1,400 kg (3,086.5 lb)
Choice of a powerMASTER motorspindle with 737.6 ft lb and 103.3 hp or a 5X torqueMASTER with 958.8 ft lb and 49.6 hp
Wheel magazine quoted with 453 tool pockets and a tool replenishment time of max. 5.6 sec
Completely water-cooled feed drive and a spindle growth sensor (SGS)
1,050 mm (41.3 in) of Y travel, longer than the 800 mm (31.5 in) of X

Limitations

No spindle speed is published in the Highlights for the powerMASTER or the 5X torqueMASTER
The 5X torqueMASTER's 49.6 hp is less than half the powerMASTER's 103.3 hp, so the choice of spindle fixes the kind of work
X travel of 800 mm (31.5 in) is shorter than the 900 mm (35.4 in) maximum workpiece diameter
Turning with the DirectDrive table at up to 800 rpm belongs to the mill-turn version, not to every machine

Best For

Pallet-changed 5-axis production of parts up to 1,400 kg (3,086.5 lb) Tall workpieces up to 1,450 mm (57.1 in) in height Low-speed, high-torque milling with the 958.8 ft lb 5X torqueMASTER High-power milling with the 103.3 hp powerMASTER motorspindle Jobs with very large tool lists, served by a 453-pocket wheel magazine

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Does the DMC 80 U duoBLOCK come with a pallet changer?

Yes. DMG MORI lists a rotating pallet changer as standard, described as compact and intended for setting up in parallel with machining. The workpiece can be up to 900 mm (35.4 in) in diameter, 1,450 mm (57.1 in) tall and 1,400 kg (3,086.5 lb).

02 Which spindle should I choose, powerMASTER or 5X torqueMASTER?

It depends on the cut. The powerMASTER motorspindle is listed with 737.6 ft lb and 103.3 hp, the 5X torqueMASTER with 958.8 ft lb and 49.6 hp. High metal removal rates need power, which favours the powerMASTER. Large-diameter tools at low speed need torque, which favours the torqueMASTER. Ask DMG MORI for the speed range of each, since the Highlights give none.

03 How many tools does the magazine hold?

The Highlights describe a wheel magazine with 453 tool pockets and a tool replenishment time of at most 5.6 sec. They do not state the size of the standard magazine, so the pocket count on a quoted machine should be confirmed.

04 Can the DMC 80 U duoBLOCK turn as well as mill?

DMG MORI states that the machine is also available in a mill-turn version, and lists milling and turning in one setup with a DirectDrive table at rotational speeds up to 800 rpm, plus grinding as an integrated technology. The DMC 80 u FD duoBLOCK has the same travels of 800 × 1,050 × 850 mm (31.5 × 41.3 × 33.5 in).

05 How does it differ from the DMC 90 u duoBLOCK?

The DMC 90 u duoBLOCK has 900 mm (35.4 in) of X travel against 800 mm (31.5 in), with the same 1,050 mm (41.3 in) of Y and 850 mm (33.5 in) of Z. Both take workpieces up to 900 mm (35.4 in) in diameter, 1,450 mm (57.1 in) tall and 1,400 kg (3,086.5 lb).
