How much does the DMG Mori DMC 90 u duoBLOCK 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 90 u duoBLOCK is a pallet-changing 5-axis machining center whose 900 mm (35.4 in) of X travel matches its 900 mm (35.4 in) maximum workpiece diameter. Y and Z travel are 1,050 mm (41.3 in) and 850 mm (33.5 in), and the workpiece can be 1,450 mm (57.1 in) tall and weigh 1,400 kg (3,086.5 lb).
That match is the practical difference from the DMC 80 U duoBLOCK, which has the same Y, Z and workpiece limits on 800 mm (31.5 in) of X. With X equal to the part diameter, the spindle can cross the whole of a full-size workpiece without the table having to rotate it into range, which simplifies programs for wide plates and frames.
The Highlights name one spindle, a motorspindle with 317.2 ft./lbs. and 69.7 hp, written here as DMG MORI gives it. No speed accompanies it. A roughing package is listed with up to 50 % higher cutting power. It is a package, so it has to be on the order, and what it contains is not described.
The rotary axes are B and C, both carried on YRT bearings of large diameter. Linear guides 2.2 in. wide support the table load of 3086.5 lbs., the feed drive is completely water-cooled, and a Spindle Growth Sensor (SGS) compensates for spindle growth. The rotating pallet changer is standard, so the next part is clamped while the current one is cut. DMG MORI states machine availability of 96 %.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- X travel of 900 mm (35.4 in) equals the maximum workpiece diameter, so the spindle spans a full-size part
- Rotating pallet changer as standard for setup during machining
- Workpieces up to 1,450 mm (57.1 in) tall and 1,400 kg (3,086.5 lb)
- Completely water-cooled feed drive and Spindle Growth Sensor (SGS)
- YRT bearings of large diameter in the B and C axes, and linear guides 2.2 in. wide
- Roughing package available with up to 50 % higher cutting power
Limitations
- Only one spindle is named, a motorspindle with 69.7 hp, and no speed is given for it
- Up to 50 % higher cutting power requires the roughing package
- No tool magazine capacity is stated in the Highlights for this model
- Z travel of 850 mm (33.5 in) is well short of the 1,450 mm (57.1 in) maximum workpiece height, so tool reach must be checked on tall parts

Frequently Asked Questions
01
DMG MORI's Highlights name a motorspindle with 317.2 ft./lbs. and 69.7 hp. They give no maximum speed and name no alternative spindle for this model. A roughing package is listed separately with up to 50 % higher cutting power.
02
X travel. The DMC 90 u duoBLOCK has 900 mm (35.4 in) and the DMC 80 U duoBLOCK has 800 mm (31.5 in). Y travel of 1,050 mm (41.3 in), Z travel of 850 mm (33.5 in) and the workpiece limits of 900 mm (35.4 in) diameter, 1,450 mm (57.1 in) height and 1,400 kg (3,086.5 lb) are the same on both.
03
1,400 kg (3,086.5 lb), which DMG MORI ties to linear guides 2.2 in. wide. The figure covers the part and its fixture together. The largest workpiece is 900 mm (35.4 in) in diameter and 1,450 mm (57.1 in) tall.
04
Yes. DMG MORI lists a rotating pallet changer as standard and describes it as compact. Its purpose is setup in parallel with machining: a part is loaded and clamped outside the work area while another is being cut, so the spindle does not wait for the operator.
05
The DMU 90 p duoBLOCK has the same 900 × 1,050 × 850 mm (35.4 × 41.3 × 33.5 in) travels but larger workpiece limits: 1,000 mm (39.4 in) in diameter and 1,800 kg (3,968.3 lb). The DMC 90 u duoBLOCK is limited to 900 mm (35.4 in) and 1,400 kg (3,086.5 lb) and has the rotating pallet changer as standard.
