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

Turning on a 5-axis mill is the reason to look at the DMG MORI DMU 40 FD eVo. For mill-turn operation its C-axis spins at up to 1,200 rpm, and the motor spindle listed for that mode has 18,000 rpm, 95.9 ft lb and an HSK A63 interface. The envelope is small: 400 × 400 × 375 mm (15.7 × 15.7 × 14.8 in) of travel, for parts up to 450 mm (17.7 in) in diameter, 460 mm (18.1 in) in height and 250 kg (551.2 lb).

What that buys is one clamping for parts that would otherwise go from a lathe to a mill: a turned seat, bore or sealing face next to milled pockets, drilled patterns and angled features. With the table level the part spins as it would on a vertical lathe; swivelled on the B-axis, which ranges from -5° to +110°, the same part is presented for 5-axis milling. Every transfer that is avoided removes a re-clamping error between the turned and the milled geometry.

A rotating table has limits that a static one does not. The 250 kg figure is the table load, and an unbalanced fixture at 1,200 rpm is a different matter from the same fixture standing still, so ask DMG MORI for the permitted load and imbalance at turning speed. The listed data does not give it. The table unit, its bearings and its drives are cooled, which matters when the table runs as a turning spindle for long periods.

The milling spindles named are a speedMASTER with 20,000 rpm in the standard version, a speedMASTER with 15,000 rpm and 147.5 ft lb as an option, and a motor spindle with 24,000 rpm as an option. Bearings and spindle nuts of the ball screw drives are cooled, and so are the guideways in X, Y and Z. The DMU 40 eVo has the same travels.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

C-axis speed of up to 1,200 rpm for turning operations on the swivel rotary table
Motor spindle with 18,000 rpm, 95.9 ft lb and HSK A63 listed for mill-turn operation
Turning and 5-axis simultaneous milling in a single clamping on parts up to 450 mm (17.7 in) in diameter
Cooling of the table unit, table bearings and drives
B-axis swivel range of -5° to +110°
Further spindle choices: 20,000 rpm speedMASTER as the standard version, 15,000 rpm with 147.5 ft lb or 24,000 rpm as options

Limitations

Parts are limited to 450 mm (17.7 in) in diameter, 460 mm (18.1 in) in height and 250 kg (551.2 lb)
The mill-turn spindle is listed with 95.9 ft lb, less than the 147.5 ft lb of the optional 15,000 rpm speedMASTER
No permitted table load at the 1,200 rpm turning speed is stated, only the general table load of up to 551.2 lb
Z travel of 375 mm (14.8 in) is shorter than the 460 mm (18.1 in) part height, which limits tool length on tall parts

Best For

Small rotationally symmetric parts that also need milled and drilled features Parts with turned sealing faces or bores that must run true to 5-axis milled geometry Single-clamping production of components up to 450 mm (17.7 in) in diameter and 250 kg (551.2 lb) Shops that want to replace a lathe-then-mill route for small complex parts

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How fast does the table of the DMU 40 FD eVo turn?

The speed of the C-axis is up to 1,200 rpm in mill-turn operation. The table load is up to 551.2 lb, which is 250 kg. A load limit at turning speed is not listed separately, so request it along with the balancing requirements for fixtures.

02 Which spindle is used for mill-turn work on the DMU 40 FD eVo?

DMG MORI lists a motor spindle with 18,000 rpm, 95.9 ft lb and HSK A63 under mill-turn operation. Separately, under spindles, it names a speedMASTER with 20,000 rpm in the standard version, a speedMASTER with 15,000 rpm and 147.5 ft lb as an option and a motor spindle with 24,000 rpm as an option.

03 What is the largest part for turning on the DMU 40 FD eVo?

The workpiece limits are 450 mm (17.7 in) in diameter, 460 mm (18.1 in) in height and 250 kg (551.2 lb). The linear travels are 400 mm (15.7 in) in X and Y and 375 mm (14.8 in) in Z, so on a tall part the remaining Z stroke decides how long the turning and milling tools can be.

04 How does the DMU 40 FD eVo differ from the DMU 40 eVo?

The travels are identical: 400 × 400 × 375 mm (15.7 × 15.7 × 14.8 in) on the DMU 40 FD eVo and on the DMU 40 eVo. The mill-turn figures, a C-axis of up to 1,200 rpm and the 18,000 rpm motor spindle with HSK A63, are the ones that matter for an FD purchase, so confirm in the quotation what the offered machine includes.

05 Is there a larger alternative in the same size range?

For milling, the DMU 50 offers 650 × 520 × 475 mm (25.6 × 20.5 × 18.7 in) of travel and the DMU 40 offers 550 × 450 × 420 mm (21.7 × 17.7 × 16.5 in). Both exceed the 400 × 400 × 375 mm of the DMU 40 FD eVo, but check their own data for turning capability before treating them as substitutes.
