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

Long prismatic parts are the job of the DMG MORI DMU 340 Gantry, a 5-axis gantry machining center with 6,000 mm (236.2 in) of X, 2,800 mm (110.2 in) of Y and 1,500 mm (59.1 in) of Z. The workpiece can weigh up to 30,000 kg (66,138.7 lb).

Read the workpiece limits next to the travels. DMG MORI allows a part 7,000 mm (275.6 in) long, 3,140 mm (123.6 in) wide and 1,540 mm (60.6 in) high, and each of those is larger than the travel of its axis. A part at the limits fits on the machine, but everything to be cut has to lie inside the 6,000 × 2,800 mm the spindle covers, and a tall part leaves little of the 1,500 mm of Z for the tool.

The structure is laid out to stay stiff over that length. The cross beam moves vertically with hydraulic weight compensation, and the milling head has a short and continuous throat depth with no ram, so the overhang does not grow as the tool goes deeper. The bed sits on a 3-point support and, according to DMG MORI, needs no foundation. Feed drives are water-cooled, the linear guideways are cooled, and spindle growth is actively controlled.

Two spindle types are named, a powerMASTER motor spindle with up to 737.6 ft lb and a torqueMASTER gear spindle with 1,327.6 ft lb. Feed speed is up to 1,574.8 ipm and feed power up to 11,240 lbf. A wheel type magazine holds up to 243 tools and the band filter unit with 2,500 l is standard.

Among the siblings, the DMU 200 Gantry is the smaller machine at 4,000 × 2,000 × 1,200 mm (157.5 × 78.7 × 47.2 in), and the DMU 340 P FD trades length for a square 3,400 × 3,400 × 2,000 mm (133.9 × 133.9 × 78.7 in) envelope.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

6,000 mm (236.2 in) of X travel with 2,800 mm (110.2 in) of Y for long structural parts, plates and mould bases
Workpiece weight up to 30,000 kg (66,138.7 lb)
Milling head without a ram: short, continuous throat depth on a vertically moving cross beam
Feed power up to 11,240 lbf at feed speeds up to 1,574.8 ipm
Wheel type magazine with up to 243 tools and a standard 2,500 l band filter unit
3-point support on a stiff bed, with no foundation required according to DMG MORI

Limitations

The 7,000 mm (275.6 in) part length exceeds the 6,000 mm (236.2 in) X travel, so a full-length part cannot be machined end to end in one position
Z travel is 1,500 mm (59.1 in) against a 1,540 mm (60.6 in) part height, which leaves no room for long tools above a tall workpiece
Neither spindle is listed with a speed or a power rating
Y travel of 2,800 mm (110.2 in) is narrower than the 3,140 mm (123.6 in) part width, so the edges of a full-width plate are out of reach

Best For

Long beams, frames and plates within 6,000 × 2,800 mm (236.2 × 110.2 in) Heavy fabrications and castings up to 30,000 kg (66,138.7 lb) Large mould and die bases that need 5-axis access Roughing of steel structures with the 1,327.6 ft lb gear spindle Multi-part setups along the 6,000 mm (236.2 in) X axis

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What are the travels of the DMU 340 Gantry?

6,000 mm (236.2 in) in X, 2,800 mm (110.2 in) in Y and 1,500 mm (59.1 in) in Z. The Z movement comes from a cross beam that travels vertically with hydraulic weight compensation, and DMG MORI lists the milling head as having a short and continuous throat depth with no ram.

02 How big a workpiece can the DMU 340 Gantry hold?

Up to 7,000 mm (275.6 in) long, 3,140 mm (123.6 in) wide, 1,540 mm (60.6 in) high and 30,000 kg (66,138.7 lb). All three dimensions are larger than the matching axis travel, so the limits describe what can be loaded, not what can be reached. Keep the machined features inside 6,000 × 2,800 × 1,500 mm.

03 Which spindle should be chosen for the DMU 340 Gantry?

DMG MORI names a powerMASTER motor spindle with up to 737.6 ft lb and a torqueMASTER gear spindle with 1,327.6 ft lb. A gear spindle is the usual choice for big face mills and drills in steel, a motor spindle for finishing and lighter alloys. Because no speeds or power figures are listed, match the spindle to your tooling only once you have its full data.

04 Is the DMU 340 Gantry larger than the DMU 200 Gantry?

Yes, in every axis. The DMU 200 Gantry travels 4,000 × 2,000 × 1,200 mm (157.5 × 78.7 × 47.2 in), while the DMU 340 Gantry travels 6,000 × 2,800 × 1,500 mm (236.2 × 110.2 × 59.1 in). That is half as much X again, with more width and height to go with it.

05 What coolant and tool equipment is listed?

A band filter unit with 2,500 l is standard. Tools are stored in a wheel type magazine with up to 243 places, which DMG MORI describes as having a minimized footprint. The size of the standard magazine and any through-spindle coolant pressure are not stated in the listed data.
