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 40 eVo is a compact 5-axis machining center with a swivel rotary table, 400 × 400 × 375 mm (15.7 × 15.7 × 14.8 in) of travel and a 20,000 rpm speedMASTER spindle in the standard version. The table carries parts up to 450 mm (17.7 in) in diameter, 460 mm (18.1 in) high and 250 kg (551.2 lb).

The spindle list is where the configuration is decided. The standard speedMASTER runs to 20,000 rpm. One option trades speed for torque: a speedMASTER with 15,000 rpm and 147.5 ft lb, the choice for steel, larger cutters and drilling from solid. The other option goes the opposite way, a motor spindle with 24,000 rpm for small tools and light alloys. No torque is listed for the standard spindle or the 24,000 rpm one, so compare the full data of all three before choosing.

The B-axis of the table swivels from -5° to +110°. Tilting the table beyond its vertical position lets a tool reach slightly under the widest point of a part, and the few degrees on the negative side help when a face has to be approached just past square. Part diameter and height are both larger than the X and Y travels, which is possible because the table presents each side of the part to the spindle in turn.

A large share of DMG MORI's Highlights for this machine concern temperature: the table unit, table bearings and drives are cooled, as are the bearings and spindle nuts of the ball screw drives and the guideways of the X, Y and Z axes. On the same product page the manufacturer gives figures for mill-turn operation, namely a C-axis speed of up to 1,200 rpm and a motor spindle with 18,000 rpm, 95.9 ft lb and HSK A63. They are stated for mill-turn operation, so do not assume them for a milling-only machine. The DMU 40 FD eVo shares the 400 × 400 × 375 mm travels.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

speedMASTER spindle with 20,000 rpm in the standard version
Optional speedMASTER with 15,000 rpm and 147.5 ft lb for heavier cutting, or an optional motor spindle with 24,000 rpm
Swivel rotary table with a B-axis range of -5° to +110° for 5-axis simultaneous machining
Table load up to 250 kg (551.2 lb) on travels of 400 × 400 × 375 mm (15.7 × 15.7 × 14.8 in)
Cooled guideways in X, Y and Z, with cooled bearings and spindle nuts on the ball screw drives
Table unit, table bearings and table drives are cooled

Limitations

Travels of 400 × 400 × 375 mm (15.7 × 15.7 × 14.8 in) are smaller than the 550 × 450 × 420 mm (21.7 × 17.7 × 16.5 in) of the DMU 40
The only spindle torque figure listed, 147.5 ft lb, belongs to an optional 15,000 rpm spindle
The 24,000 rpm motor spindle is an option
The B-axis reaches only -5° on the negative side, so the table tilts essentially one way
No tool magazine size is stated in DMG MORI's listed figures for this model

Best For

5-axis simultaneous machining of parts up to 450 mm (17.7 in) in diameter and 250 kg (551.2 lb) High-speed finishing at 20,000 rpm, or 24,000 rpm with the optional motor spindle Steel parts and larger cutters with the optional 147.5 ft lb spindle Long-running precision jobs that benefit from cooled guideways, ball screw bearings and table drives

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Which spindle is standard on the DMU 40 eVo?

A speedMASTER with 20,000 rpm is the standard version. Two options are listed: a speedMASTER with 15,000 rpm and 147.5 ft lb, and a motor spindle with 24,000 rpm. The 15,000 rpm option is the only one with a published torque figure.

02 What size and weight of part can the DMU 40 eVo machine?

The maximum workpiece diameter is 450 mm (17.7 in), the maximum height 460 mm (18.1 in) and the maximum weight 250 kg (551.2 lb). Travels are 400 mm (15.7 in) in X, 400 mm (15.7 in) in Y and 375 mm (14.8 in) in Z.

03 How far does the table of the DMU 40 eVo swivel?

The swivel range of the B-axis is -5° to +110°, and the table load is up to 551.2 lb. The positive end takes the table beyond its vertical position, which gives a tool access to features slightly below the widest point of a part. The negative end allows only a small tilt the other way.

04 What is the difference between the DMU 40 eVo and the DMU 40?

They are different machines despite the similar names. The DMU 40 eVo has 400 × 400 × 375 mm (15.7 × 15.7 × 14.8 in) of travel. The DMU 40 has 550 × 450 × 420 mm (21.7 × 17.7 × 16.5 in). Compare spindle and table data model by model, since each has its own list.

05 Does the DMU 40 eVo do turning?

DMG MORI's figures for mill-turn operation are a C-axis speed of up to 1,200 rpm and a motor spindle with 18,000 rpm, 95.9 ft lb and HSK A63. They describe mill-turn operation, and the DMU 40 FD eVo is listed with the same travels of 400 × 400 × 375 mm. If turning is required, confirm that the quoted machine is equipped for it.
