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 DMU 160 p FD duoBLOCK is a 5-axis mill-turn machine whose DirectDrive table runs at rotational speeds up to 400 rpm, so milling and turning are done in one setup. Its envelope is 1,600 mm (63 in) in diameter by 1,675 mm (65.9 in) in height with up to 4,500 kg (9,920.8 lb), inside travels of 1,600 × 1,600 × 1,100 mm (63 × 63 × 43.3 in).

Parts of this size are normally turned on a vertical lathe and then moved to a milling machine. Each move is a crane lift, a new alignment and a fresh chance to lose the relationship between turned diameters and milled features. Doing both operations on one table removes the move. DMG MORI also lists grinding as an integrated technology, which extends the same idea to seats and running surfaces that need a ground finish.

The listed data is thin on the turning side. It gives the table speed and nothing else: no table torque, and no statement of whether the full 4,500 kg may be turned at 400 rpm. On large rotating masses those limits and the permitted unbalance decide what the machine can do, so they should be requested in writing.

For milling, DMG MORI names the powerMASTER 1000 motorspindle with 737.6 ft lb and 103.3 hp and the 5X torqueMASTER with 1,327.6 ft lb and 69.7 hp, both without a speed figure, plus a roughing package with up to 50 % higher cutting power.

The wheel magazine has 453 tool pockets, shared between turning holders, milling tools and grinding wheels, and a tool replenishment time of max. 5.6 sec. The feed drive is completely water-cooled, a spindle growth sensor (SGS) compensates for spindle growth, and availability is put at 96 %.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

DirectDrive table with rotational speeds up to 400 rpm for turning and milling in one setup
Envelope of 1,600 mm (63 in) diameter by 1,675 mm (65.9 in) height
Workpieces up to 4,500 kg (9,920.8 lb)
Grinding can be added to turning and milling as an integrated technology
453 tool pockets shared by turning, milling and grinding tools
Milling spindles with up to 1,327.6 ft lb (5X torqueMASTER) or 103.3 hp (powerMASTER 1000)

Limitations

Table torque for turning is not published in the listed data
The listed data does not say what workpiece weight is permitted at 400 rpm
Z travel is 1,100 mm (43.3 in), well under the 1,675 mm (65.9 in) maximum workpiece height
Spindle speeds are missing for both milling spindles

Best For

Large rotational parts turned and milled without a transfer between machines Housings and rings up to 1,600 mm (63 in) in diameter Heavy workpieces up to 4,500 kg (9,920.8 lb) where each crane move is a risk Ground seats and running surfaces finished in the same clamping

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the maximum turning speed of the DMU 160 p FD duoBLOCK?

The DirectDrive table runs at rotational speeds up to 400 rpm. On a part near the 1,600 mm (63 in) maximum diameter that already means a high surface speed at the rim, so the top speed will mostly be used on smaller diameters. Table torque is not given in the listed data.

02 Can the full workpiece weight be turned?

The listed data does not say. It gives a maximum workpiece weight of 4,500 kg (9,920.8 lb) and a table speed of up to 400 rpm, without linking the two. Ask DMG MORI for the permitted weight and unbalance across the speed range before planning heavy turned parts.

03 How does the DMU 160 p FD duoBLOCK differ from the DMU 160 P duoBLOCK?

Both have travels of 1,600 mm (63 in) in X, 1,600 mm (63 in) in Y and 1,100 mm (43.3 in) in Z. The DMU 160 p FD duoBLOCK is the mill-turn version: its DirectDrive table turns at up to 400 rpm, so turning and milling share one setup. The DMU 160 P duoBLOCK is the milling version.

04 Which spindles are listed for milling?

The powerMASTER 1000 motorspindle with 737.6 ft lb and 103.3 hp, and the 5X torqueMASTER with 1,327.6 ft lb and 69.7 hp. A roughing package is listed with up to 50 % higher cutting power. None of these comes with a speed figure in the listed data.

05 Does the machine support grinding?

Grinding is listed by DMG MORI as an integrated technology on this model, aimed at surface quality. It lets ground features be finished in the clamping used for turning and milling. The listed data does not describe wheel sizes, dressing or the coolant filtration that grinding needs, so cover these in the quotation.
