Overview

The DMG Mori DMU 60 FD eVo 2nd Generation is a ground-up redesign of the mid-range eVo mill-turn platform, featuring a single-piece hybrid machine bed made of mineral casting for improved vibration damping and thermal stability. With 750 x 550 x 550 mm (29.5 x 21.7 x 21.7 in) of axis travel, the 2nd Generation delivers significantly more work envelope than the first-generation DMU 60 FD eVo (600 x 500 x 500 mm) while occupying just 9 m2 of floor space.

The increased travel translates directly to larger workpiece capacity: up to 700 mm (27.6 in) in diameter and 550 mm (21.7 in) tall, with a 500 kg (1,102 lb) table load. The FD (FreeDrive) turning capability is retained, enabling combined 5-axis milling and turning on a single platform. The B-axis swivel range and 360-degree continuous C-axis provide full simultaneous 5-axis interpolation plus turning operations.

The spindle portfolio has been expanded for the 2nd Generation, with speedMASTER options reaching up to 30,000 rpm or 200 Nm torque. The standard configuration delivers 20,000 rpm with 130 Nm through HSK-A63, offering a strong balance of speed and cutting force for diverse materials. The mineral-cast hybrid bed absorbs vibration more effectively than the first-generation welded steel frame, improving surface finish quality and extending tool life.

Control options include Siemens SINUMERIK ONE and Heidenhain TNC7 under CELOS X. The 2nd Generation platform represents a significant evolution over the original DMU 60 FD eVo, with more travel, more table load, better damping, and wider spindle selection in a compact 9 m2 footprint. For shops evaluating mid-range 5-axis mill-turn machines, this 2nd Generation model closes the gap toward monoBLOCK performance at eVo pricing.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

2nd Generation redesign with mineral-cast hybrid bed delivers superior vibration damping over the welded-frame 1st Generation
750 mm X-travel is a 25% increase over the 1st Generation, significantly expanding workpiece capacity
SpeedMASTER spindles up to 30,000 RPM or 200 Nm cover everything from high-speed aluminum to aggressive steel cutting
500 kg table load capacity handles heavier billets and fixtures than the 1st Generation (400 kg)
FD mill-turn capability up to 1,200 RPM eliminates secondary lathe operations on complex parts
9 m2 footprint is remarkably compact for the work envelope and capability offered

Limitations

B-axis swivel range of -5 to +110 degrees remains more limited than monoBLOCK models at +/-120 degrees
At $400K+ the 2nd Generation narrows the price gap to entry-level monoBLOCK machines
30-tool standard magazine is undersized for complex mill-turn jobs requiring both milling and turning tools
eVo platform rigidity, even with mineral casting, does not match monoBLOCK one-piece cast iron construction

Best For

Aerospace manufacturers machining mid-size structural components and fittings with combined milling and turning features Medical device companies producing implants, prosthetics, and instruments requiring complete single-setup machining Mold and die shops needing 5-axis contouring plus turned datum features on cavity inserts and cores Job shops upgrading from 1st Generation eVo machines seeking more travel, capacity, and spindle options Precision manufacturers looking for monoBLOCK-approaching performance at eVo pricing in a compact footprint

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What changed in the DMU 60 eVo 2nd Generation versus the 1st Generation?

The 2nd Generation features a completely new mineral-cast hybrid machine bed replacing the welded steel frame, 25% more X-travel (750 vs 600 mm), 25% more table load (500 vs 400 kg), larger workpiece capacity (700 vs 600 mm diameter), and expanded spindle options up to 30,000 RPM. The footprint is 9 m2, slightly larger but delivering substantially more capability.

02 Is the mineral-cast bed better than cast iron?

Mineral casting provides 6-10x better vibration damping than cast iron, which translates to better surface finish and longer tool life. However, it has lower stiffness-to-weight ratio than cast iron. For the eVo target applications, the damping advantage typically outweighs the stiffness difference. The monoBLOCK cast iron construction remains stiffer for heavy roughing.

03 Should I buy the 1st or 2nd Generation DMU 60 FD eVo?

The 2nd Generation is the better machine in every measurable dimension: more travel, more capacity, better damping, and wider spindle range. The only reason to consider a 1st Generation unit is price on the used market, where 2018-2022 machines sell for $180,000-$280,000 versus $400,000+ for a new 2nd Generation.

04 How does the DMU 60 FD eVo 2nd Gen compare to the DMU 65 FD monoBLOCK?

The monoBLOCK 2nd Generation offers wider B-axis swivel (+/-120 vs -5/+110 degrees), higher table load (1,000 kg vs 500 kg), and the superior rigidity of a one-piece cast iron construction. The eVo 2nd Gen offers comparable X-travel (750 vs 735 mm), better vibration damping from mineral casting for surface finish, and typically $80,000-$120,000 lower pricing.
