Overview

The DMG Mori DMU 60 FD eVo is the mid-range mill-turn variant in the eVo 5-axis lineup, combining simultaneous 5-axis milling with FreeDrive (FD) turning capability on a platform offering 600 x 500 x 500 mm (23.6 x 19.7 x 19.7 in) of axis travel. The FD designation indicates the C-axis rotary table can spin workpieces at turning speeds up to 1,200 RPM, enabling complete machining of parts with both milled and turned features without a secondary lathe operation.

The swivel rotary table handles workpieces up to 600 mm (23.6 in) in diameter and 500 mm (19.7 in) tall, with a 400 kg (882 lb) table load capacity. The B-axis swivel range covers -5 to +110 degrees, providing access to five sides of the workpiece plus turning operations through the direct-drive C-axis.

The standard speedMASTER spindle runs at 20,000 rpm with HSK-A63 taper. A 15,000 rpm high-torque option delivers 200 Nm for aggressive steel and titanium cutting, while the 18,000 rpm motorspindle at 130 Nm is specifically configured for FD mill-turn work. The optional 24,000 rpm spindle targets high-speed aluminum and composite machining.

The DMU 60 FD eVo sits in the sweet spot between the compact DMU 40 FD eVo and the larger DMU 80 FD eVo, offering enough work envelope for mid-size aerospace components and mold work while maintaining a manageable footprint. Control options include Siemens and Heidenhain under CELOS X with integrated turning cycles. For shops producing parts in the 200-400 mm range that need both milling and turning, the DMU 60 FD eVo provides a compelling single-machine solution.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

FD mill-turn capability at 1,200 RPM eliminates secondary lathe operations for parts with combined milled and turned features
600 mm work envelope handles mid-size aerospace and mold components that the DMU 40 FD eVo cannot accommodate
400 kg table load capacity is generous for an eVo-class machine and supports heavier fixtures and billets
20,000 RPM standard spindle with options to 24K RPM covers diverse materials from aluminum to hardened steel
Siemens and Heidenhain control options with integrated turning cycles simplify mill-turn programming
Sweet-spot sizing between the compact DMU 40 and larger DMU 80 balances capability with footprint

Limitations

B-axis swivel range of -5 to +110 degrees is limited versus monoBLOCK models offering +/-120 degrees
eVo assembled frame is less rigid than the monoBLOCK one-piece casting for heavy cutting loads
FD option adds significant cost over the standard DMU 60 eVo milling-only version
30-tool standard magazine may be undersized for complex multi-operation mill-turn jobs; 60-tool upgrade recommended

Best For

Aerospace suppliers machining mid-size components with both prismatic and rotational features in a single setup Medical device manufacturers producing larger implants and surgical instruments requiring combined milling and turning Mold and die shops producing cavity inserts with contoured surfaces and turned datum features Job shops needing a versatile mid-range 5-axis mill-turn platform for diverse part geometries Precision manufacturers consolidating separate milling and turning operations to reduce setups and improve accuracy

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the DMU 60 FD eVo compare to the standard DMU 60 eVo?

The FD variant adds turning capability with C-axis rotation up to 1,200 RPM. The standard DMU 60 eVo is milling-only. Travel dimensions and spindle options are identical. The FD option typically adds $30,000-$50,000 to the price and is worth it for shops where 20%+ of parts have combined milled and turned features.

02 What is the maximum turning speed on the DMU 60 FD eVo?

The FD table rotates up to 1,200 RPM for turning operations. This is sufficient for OD turning, facing, boring, and threading on parts up to 600 mm diameter. For high-speed small-diameter turning, a dedicated lathe will be more productive.

03 Should I choose the DMU 60 FD eVo or the DMU 65 FD monoBLOCK?

The monoBLOCK offers superior rigidity from its one-piece casting, wider B-axis range (+/-120 vs -5/+110 degrees), and higher table load (1,000 kg vs 400 kg). The eVo is more affordable and has a smaller footprint. For heavy mill-turn work in steel and titanium, choose the monoBLOCK. For lighter materials and budget-conscious shops, the eVo delivers excellent value.

04 Can I automate the DMU 60 FD eVo?

Yes. DMG Mori offers pallet changer integration and robotic loading options for the eVo series. The PH Cell pallet handling system and Robo2Go are compatible. Automation is especially effective on the FD variant where complete parts come off the machine without secondary operations.
