Overview

The DMG Mori DMP 35 is a compact vertical machining center that packs production-grade capability into a 3.15 m² (34 sq ft) footprint. With 350 x 420 x 380 mm (13.8 x 16.5 x 15.0 in) of travel, it is purpose-built for small precision parts in high-volume automated cells.

The spindle is a direct-drive unit running 15,000 RPM with 78 Nm of torque and 11 kW (14.7 hp) in a BT 40 taper. That torque figure is remarkable for a compact VMC — it means the DMP 35 can run heavier cuts than its size suggests, particularly in steel and stainless. Rapid traverse hits 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) on all axes.

The 24-tool ATC delivers 1.5-second chip-to-chip changes, and the 600 x 420 mm (23.6 x 16.5 in) table supports 250 kg (551 lb). DMG Mori’s THERMO SHIELD thermal management maintains dimensional stability during production runs.

What sets the DMP series apart from the i 30 V is the BT 40 spindle with significantly more torque. This gives the DMP 35 the ability to run face mills, large drills, and tapping cycles that would overwhelm a BT 30 machine. The tradeoff is a slightly larger footprint and higher price.

The machine runs on FANUC 0i-MF Plus with CELOS X interface. Automation integration is built in, with hydraulic fixture interfaces, M-code automation signals, and optional robotic loading packages.

New DMP 35 machines price between $105,000 and $145,000. Specs sourced from DMG Mori published data.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

78 Nm spindle torque in a BT 40 taper gives the DMP 35 cutting capability far beyond what its compact size suggests
60 m/min rapids and 1.5-second tool changes deliver fast cycle times in production environments
3.15 m² footprint enables high-density cell layouts with multiple machines per robot
BT 40 taper accommodates standard production tooling including larger face mills and drills
24-tool standard ATC is generous for a compact machine — handles complex multi-operation parts
Purpose-built automation integration reduces cell setup time and cost

Limitations

350 mm X-travel limits this to small parts; not suitable for general-purpose work
250 kg table load restricts fixture complexity compared to full-size VMCs
15,000 RPM max spindle speed is lower than the i 30 V (20K RPM) for high-speed aluminum finishing
Limited availability in some markets — the DMP series is newer and not as widely stocked by dealers
No box-way option — roller guides only, which may matter for heavy interrupted cuts in hard materials

Best For

Automotive production cells machining small steel and aluminum components in high volumes Medical device manufacturers needing BT 40 capability for drilling, tapping, and milling implant components Contract manufacturers building multi-machine robot cells where footprint per spindle drives ROI Shops machining small precision parts that need more cutting force than BT 30 machines can deliver Production environments transitioning from manual operations to automated CNC cells

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a new DMG Mori DMP 35 cost?

New DMP 35 machines start around $105,000. With probing, through-spindle coolant, and automation package, expect $125,000-$145,000. Multi-machine orders for cell installations may receive volume pricing.

02 DMP 35 vs i 30 V — which is better?

The DMP 35 has more torque (78 Nm vs standard BT 30), BT 40 tooling compatibility, more Y/Z travel, and a 24-tool ATC. The i 30 V has a smaller footprint (2.5 vs 3.15 m²), faster spindle (20K vs 15K RPM), and lower price. Choose the DMP 35 when you need cutting force; the i 30 V when floor space density is the priority.

03 Can the DMP 35 handle steel machining?

Yes. The 78 Nm of spindle torque is the key differentiator. The DMP 35 handles face milling, drilling, and tapping in mild and medium carbon steel without issue. For hardened steel or stainless, keep depths of cut moderate and use appropriate tooling. It is not a hogging machine, but it handles production steel work on small parts.

04 How does the DMP 35 compare to the DMP 70?

The DMP 70 doubles the X-travel (700 vs 350 mm) and is designed for longer parts. Same spindle specs, similar automation features. If your parts fit in 350 mm X, the DMP 35 saves floor space. If you need more travel, the DMP 70 is the logical step up.
