DMG Mori Vertical Machining Centers (VMC)

DMG Mori DMF 500 Gantry

Q: How much does the DMG Mori DMF 500 Gantry cost?

Our best estimate for the DMG Mori DMF 500 Gantry is $1,000,000 – $1,600,000. This is an estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class, not a quote from DMG Mori; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/dmg-mori-dmf-500-gantry#price; the request is passed to DMG Mori or an authorised dealer.

Overview

The DMG MORI DMF 500 Gantry appears here as a large-format machine with a listed 5,000 mm of X travel, 1,500 mm of Y and 1,000 mm of Z. DMG MORI's current lineup does not include it, so it is possibly an older model, and nothing in the table below has been confirmed. Use the listed figures as a starting point for questions, not as a specification.

The listed table is 5,000 × 1,500 mm with a load of 8,000 kg. At that size the question is rarely whether a part fits and more often how it gets there: crane access, the weight of fixtures and the floor under a machine listed at 55,000 kg all need settling before a purchase.

The spindle is listed at 12,000 rpm, 52 kW and 430 Nm. That is a general-purpose rating with real torque behind it, so the machine as listed could rough steel plate and weldments as well as finish them. Rapid traverse is listed at 60 m/min on ballscrew drives. Tool storage is listed at 60 tools.

Listed positioning accuracy is 0.008 mm with 0.005 mm repeatability, and the control is given as Siemens 840D sl or Heidenhain TNC 640. Over 5,000 mm of travel, ask a seller for a recent geometry and positioning report, because figures on a page say little about a particular machine after years of use.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Listed working range of 5,000 mm in X, 1,500 mm in Y and 1,000 mm in Z
Listed table load of 8,000 kg
Listed spindle torque of 430 Nm with 52 kW, at up to 12,000 rpm
Listed rapid traverse of 60 m/min
Tool storage listed at 60 tools

Limitations

DMG MORI's current lineup does not include this model and the listed figures are unconfirmed
A listed machine weight of 55,000 kg calls for a prepared foundation and heavy rigging
Listed positioning accuracy of 0.008 mm is a table value; a used machine has to be measured
12,000 rpm is a low ceiling for small cutters on a machine of this size

Best For

Large plates, frames and weldments up to 5,000 mm long and 1,500 mm wide Heavy workpieces up to the listed 8,000 kg table load Roughing and finishing in one setup with 430 Nm and 12,000 rpm Buyers checking a used large-format machine against its listed data

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Can the DMF 500 Gantry still be bought new?

It is not in DMG MORI's current lineup and may be an older model. The data on this page is unconfirmed. For a machine on offer, ask for the original documentation and have the travels, spindle and control checked on site.

02 How big a workpiece does the DMF 500 Gantry take?

The listed travels are 5,000 mm in X, 1,500 mm in Y and 1,000 mm in Z, on a table listed at 5,000 × 1,500 mm with a maximum load of 8,000 kg. None of these figures has been confirmed.

03 What are the listed spindle figures of the DMF 500 Gantry?

12,000 rpm, 52 kW and 430 Nm. The torque is high enough for roughing steel with large cutters, while the top speed keeps the spindle usable for finishing. Tool storage is listed at 60 tools.

04 What should be checked before buying a used DMF 500 Gantry?

Start with what the table cannot tell you: actual travels, the fitted control (Siemens 840D sl or Heidenhain TNC 640 are listed) and a current accuracy report against the listed 0.008 mm positioning and 0.005 mm repeatability. Then plan transport and foundation for a listed weight of 55,000 kg.
