Overview
The DMG Mori DMP 70 is the larger sibling of the DMP 35, stretching the X-axis to 700 mm (27.6 in) while keeping the same compact, automation-ready philosophy. With 700 x 420 x 380 mm (27.6 x 16.5 x 15.0 in) of travel, it handles longer parts and multi-part fixtures that the DMP 35 cannot accommodate.
The direct-drive spindle delivers 15,000 RPM with 78 Nm of torque and 11 kW (14.7 hp) through a BT 40 taper — identical to the DMP 35. That torque means the DMP 70 runs face mills, large drills, and tapping in steel with authority that belies its compact platform. Rapid traverse hits 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) with acceleration up to 2g, making it one of the fastest-moving machines in the sub-$200K VMC segment.
The 24-tool arm-type ATC delivers 1.5-second chip-to-chip changes. The 900 x 420 mm (35.4 x 16.5 in) table supports 400 kg (882 lb), enough for twin-vise production setups on medium-length parts.
DMG Mori optimized the DMP 70 for automated production with integrated robotic loading interfaces, hydraulic fixture signals, and a wide door opening for robot access. The FANUC 0i-MF Plus control with CELOS X handles programming, production monitoring, and cell management.
At roughly 5,200 kg (11,464 lb), the DMP 70 is heavy for its footprint class, providing good stability and vibration damping. New machines price between $115,000 and $160,000. Specs sourced from DMG Mori published data.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 700 mm X-travel handles medium-length parts and twin-vise setups that do not fit on the DMP 35
- 2g acceleration and 60 m/min rapids deliver some of the fastest non-cutting motion in the mid-range VMC class
- 78 Nm spindle torque in BT 40 enables production steel machining that overwhelms BT 30 compact machines
- 24-tool ATC handles complex multi-operation parts without mid-run tool swapping
- Purpose-built automation integration with robotic loading interfaces reduces cell setup complexity
- 5,200 kg machine weight provides stability and damping well above its compact appearance
Limitations
- 420 mm Y-travel and 380 mm Z-travel are limiting for tall parts, deep cavities, or complex multi-sided fixtures
- 15,000 RPM max spindle speed is adequate but not optimal for high-speed aluminum finishing where 20K+ RPM matters
- BT 40 taper limits maximum cutter diameter and rigidity compared to BT 50 machines in the same price range
- Limited used market availability means the DMP 70 cannot be evaluated hands-on at most used equipment dealers

Frequently Asked Questions
01
New DMP 70 machines start around $115,000. With probing, through-spindle coolant, chip conveyor, and automation package, expect $135,000-$160,000. The DMP 70 offers strong value for a DMG Mori machine.
02
The CMX 600 V has more Y and Z travel (560x510 vs 420x380 mm) and a lower entry price. The DMP 70 has faster rapids (60 vs 42 m/min), 2g acceleration, more spindle torque (78 Nm), and better automation integration. Choose the CMX 600 V for versatile job shop work; the DMP 70 for high-speed production cells.
03
1.5 seconds chip-to-chip. Combined with 2g acceleration and 60 m/min rapids, the DMP 70 minimizes non-cutting time to levels that approach high-end production centers. On parts with 15+ tool changes per cycle, this adds up to significant cycle time savings versus machines with 3-4 second tool changes.
04
The 78 Nm spindle torque handles hardened steel (HRC 45-55) with appropriate tooling and moderate depths of cut. It is not designed for heavy hogging in hard materials, but production finishing and semi-finishing of hardened components is well within its capability. For heavy hard milling, consider the NVX 5080 with box ways.
