DMG Mori DMC 85 FD monoBLOCK

The DMG Mori DMC 85 FD monoBLOCK is the mill-turn variant of the DMU 85 monoBLOCK platform, combining simultaneous 5-axis milling with integrated turning capability through a DirectDrive rotary table. The FD designation adds turning operations to the already capable monoBLOCK single-casting foundation, enabling complete machining of parts that would otherwise require separate milling and lathe operations.

Travel sits at 935 x 850 x 650 mm (36.8 x 33.5 x 25.6 in), matching the standard DMU 85 monoBLOCK envelope. The table handles workpieces up to 800 mm (31.5 in) in diameter and 590 mm (23.2 in) tall, with a table load capacity of 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) in FD configuration — reduced from the standard model to accommodate the turning-capable direct-drive mechanism.

The one-piece monoBLOCK casting provides the vibration damping and geometric stability needed for combined mill-turn operations where both milling accuracy and turning surface finish matter. The swivelling rotary table comes standard, enabling full simultaneous 5-axis positioning with the added capability to switch to turning mode for cylindrical features.

speedMASTER spindles range from the standard 15,000 RPM / 21 kW / 111 Nm configuration up to 30,000 RPM for high-speed applications, with the heavy-cutting option delivering 430 Nm through an SK50/HSK-A100 taper. The optional precision package delivers 15% higher precision for shops demanding tighter tolerances on both milled and turned features.

The DMC 85 FD comes standard with an automatic pallet changer supporting three pallets total, enabling main-time-parallel setup. The machine footprint of 280 sq ft includes the chip conveyor and coolant system. Crane loading capacity handles workpieces up to 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) at diameters up to 800 mm (31.5 in). Control options include Siemens Sinumerik ONE and Heidenhain TNC7 under CELOS X. Specs sourced from DMG Mori published data.
