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 200 Gantry is a low-gantry 5-axis machine with a fixed table, a 20,000 rpm spindle and a choice of two milling heads. Its listed travels are 4,000 × 2,000 × 1,200 mm (157.5 × 78.7 × 47.2 in), and rapid traverse is 1,968.5 ipm.

The workpiece stays still and the gantry moves over it. The fixed table measures 88.6 x 78.7 in and has a loading capacity of 22,046 lb. T-slots run across the table and chip conveyors sit on both sides of it. Because the gantry runs low and the machine has no side walls, the operator can see straight into the working area.

X is modular. DMG MORI describes the X-axis as expandable up to 157.4 in, which corresponds to the 4,000 mm in the table, and ties the highest workpiece weight to that X-axis option. The technical data then allows parts up to 4,300 mm (169.3 in) long, 2,000 mm (78.7 in) wide, 1,250 mm (49.2 in) high and 20,000 kg (44,092.5 lb). The 22,046 lb of the fixed table is half of that weight, so establish which table and X length a quotation covers before sizing a job.

Both heads are for 5-axis machining at up to 20,000 rpm, and the spindle DMG MORI names is the compactMASTER with 20,000 rpm. The 45° head has a 90° swivel range and a +/- 300° rotating range. The 90° head swivels +/- 120° and also rotates +/- 300°, which gives it the wider reach into undercuts and side walls. DMG MORI further lists the machine as ready for Ultrasonic, Laser and the machining of carbon material.

That combination of high spindle speed, long X and open access points at aluminium structures, composite panels and model or mould work. Spindle power and torque are not stated, so heavy steel roughing should not be assumed.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

compactMASTER spindle with 20,000 rpm on either a 45° head or a 90° head
Rapid traverse of 1,968.5 ipm on a low gantry that moves over a fixed table
X-axis modularly expandable up to 157.4 in, with 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of Y and 1,200 mm (47.2 in) of Z
No side walls, so the whole working area is visible from the operator's side
T-slots across the table and chip conveyors on both sides of it for chip removal
Listed as ready for Ultrasonic, Laser and carbon material machining

Limitations

The fixed table of 88.6 x 78.7 in carries 22,046 lb, half of the 20,000 kg (44,092.5 lb) workpiece limit that applies with the X-axis option
Spindle power and torque are not stated; the only spindle figure is 20,000 rpm
The 45° head has a 90° swivel range, against +/- 120° on the 90° head, so head choice limits which undercuts can be reached
Tool magazine capacity is not given in DMG MORI's listed data
Z travel of 1,200 mm (47.2 in) is less than the 1,250 mm (49.2 in) maximum part height

Best For

Long aluminium structural parts within 4,000 × 2,000 mm (157.5 × 78.7 in) Composite and carbon material panels machined at up to 20,000 rpm Model, pattern and mould work that needs 5-axis access from a 90° head Large parts set up on a fixed table with T-slots and no side walls in the way Shops that want Ultrasonic or Laser capability on a large envelope

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the 45° head and the 90° head on the DMU 200 Gantry?

Both are for 5-axis machining at up to 20,000 rpm. The 45° head has a 90° swivel range and a +/- 300° rotating range. The 90° head has a +/- 120° swivel range with the same +/- 300° rotating range, and the larger swivel range gives it more reach into side walls and undercuts.

02 How long is the X axis of the DMU 200 Gantry?

The technical data lists 4,000 mm (157.5 in) of X travel, with 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of Y and 1,200 mm (47.2 in) of Z. DMG MORI describes the X-axis as modularly expandable up to 157.4 in, so that figure is the upper end of the range. The fixed table is listed at 88.6 x 78.7 in, and the length of the basic X axis is not stated.

03 How much weight can the DMU 200 Gantry carry?

It depends on the configuration. The fixed table of 88.6 x 78.7 in has a loading capacity of 22,046 lb. The technical data gives a maximum workpiece weight of 20,000 kg (44,092.5 lb), which DMG MORI links to the X-axis option of 157.4 in. Confirm the figure for the table and X length you are quoted.

04 How fast is the DMU 200 Gantry?

Rapid traverse is 1,968.5 ipm and the compactMASTER spindle runs at 20,000 rpm. Those figures suit light, fast cuts in aluminium and composites. No acceleration, spindle power or torque is listed, so cycle-time estimates for a specific part need DMG MORI's data.

05 How does the DMU 200 Gantry compare with the DMU 340 Gantry?

The DMU 340 Gantry is the larger machine at 6,000 × 2,800 × 1,500 mm (236.2 × 110.2 × 59.1 in). The DMU 200 Gantry travels 4,000 × 2,000 × 1,200 mm (157.5 × 78.7 × 47.2 in) and is the one whose Highlights centre on a 20,000 rpm spindle and a fixed table with open sides.
