How much does the DMG Mori DMC 85 FD monoBLOCK cost?
Estimated price range
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 85 FD monoBLOCK pairs an automatic pallet changer for a total of three pallets with a mill-turn table for which DMG MORI quotes 1,512 ft lb of table torque. Travels are 935 × 850 × 650 mm (36.8 × 33.5 × 25.6 in).
Here the travels are larger than the part. The maximum workpiece is 800 mm (31.5 in) in diameter, 590 mm (23.2 in) tall and 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb), while X runs to 935 mm (36.8 in) and Y to 850 mm (33.5 in). The spindle can therefore pass right across a full-size part. The limit comes with the pallet system: the DMU 85 FD monoBLOCK, with identical travels, takes 1,040 mm (40.9 in) and 1,500 kg (3,306.9 lb).
Loading is thought through for heavy pieces. Access to the working area from the front is unrestricted, and a crane can load from above up to the centre of the table. DMG MORI's Highlights give 2,204.6 lb as the maximum load and mention crane loading into the working area up to 3,307 lb. The two figures stand side by side without further explanation, so ask which applies to your configuration.
The machine is supplied as a full package that includes the swivelling rotary table and a chip conveyor, and its footprint is 280 ft² including chip conveyor and coolant system. Cooling measures, a high-performance coolant unit and multi-sensor compensation are standard. A precision package is optional and is stated to give 15 % higher precision. No spindle or magazine figures appear in the Highlights for this model.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Automatic pallet changer for a total of three pallets
- Mill-turn version with 1,512 ft lb of table torque for complete machining
- X and Y travels of 935 mm (36.8 in) and 850 mm (33.5 in) exceed the 800 mm (31.5 in) maximum workpiece diameter
- Crane loading from above up to the centre of the table, with unrestricted front access to the working area
- Footprint of 280 ft² including chip conveyor and coolant system
- Cooling measures, coolant unit and multi-sensor compensation as standard
Limitations
- Workpiece limits of 800 mm (31.5 in) and 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb) are below those of the DMU 85 FD monoBLOCK, which takes 1,040 mm (40.9 in) and 1,500 kg (3,306.9 lb) on the same travels
- No spindle speed, power or torque is stated in the Highlights
- No table speed for turning is given, only the 1,512 ft lb table torque
- The 15 % higher precision comes only with the optional precision package
- Workpiece height is limited to 590 mm (23.2 in)

Frequently Asked Questions
01
DMG MORI lists an automatic pallet changer for a total of three pallets. With three pallets, different parts or operations can be queued and the setup done away from the cut. Each workpiece can be up to 800 mm (31.5 in) in diameter, 590 mm (23.2 in) tall and 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb).
02
The Highlights describe a mill-turn version for complete machining with 1,512 ft lb of table torque. They do not state the table speed, so ask for it together with the torque curve. Parts for turning must stay within 800 mm (31.5 in) diameter and 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb) including workholding.
03
Travels are the same, 935 × 850 × 650 mm (36.8 × 33.5 × 25.6 in), and so is the 590 mm (23.2 in) maximum workpiece height. The DMU 85 FD monoBLOCK takes larger and heavier parts, 1,040 mm (40.9 in) and 1,500 kg (3,306.9 lb), against 800 mm (31.5 in) and 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb) on the DMC 85 FD monoBLOCK, which in turn has the three-pallet changer.
04
DMG MORI gives a footprint of 280 ft² including chip conveyor and coolant system. Allow extra room for the crane approach, since loading is from above up to the centre of the table, and for operator access at the front.
05
The technical data gives a maximum workpiece weight of 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb). The Highlights repeat 2,204.6 lb as the maximum load and add crane loading into the working area up to 3,307 lb, with workpieces up to ø 31.5 in. They do not explain when the higher figure applies, so confirm it with DMG MORI before planning a part heavier than 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb).
