Overview

The DMG Mori DMU 600 p FD is the largest portal-type 5-axis mill-turn machining center in the DMG Mori portfolio, combining massive travel of 18,750 x 4,800 x 1,500 mm (738.2 x 189.0 x 59.1 in) with integrated FreeDrive (FD) turning capability. This machine is engineered for the most demanding applications in aerospace, energy, and heavy industry where the largest single-piece components require both precision 5-axis milling and turning operations.

The FD variant adds a direct-drive rotary table capable of turning operations on workpieces up to 5,000 mm (196.9 in) in diameter. The work envelope accommodates parts up to 18,100 mm (712.6 in) long, 3,500 mm (137.8 in) wide, and 3,000 mm (118.1 in) tall, with a maximum workpiece weight of 120,000 kg (264,555 lb). The ability to perform both 5-axis milling and turning on a single platform at this scale eliminates the need to transfer enormous workpieces between separate machines.

The main drive delivers 53 kW (71 hp) with 1,445 Nm (1,066 ft-lb) of torque in standard configuration, with optional configurations reaching 60 kW (81 hp) and 2,500 Nm (1,844 ft-lb) for aggressive roughing in titanium and superalloys. The portal structure provides consistent rigidity across the entire travel range, maintaining accuracy on workpieces that would be physically impossible to machine on conventional rotary-table 5-axis platforms.

Control options include SIEMENS SINUMERIK ONE and HEIDENHAIN TNC7 with CELOS X integration, featuring integrated turning cycles for seamless programming of combined mill-turn operations. The modular construction allows X-axis length, spindle options, and automation to be configured for specific applications. For manufacturers of the world's largest turbine components, aerospace structures, and energy equipment, the DMU 600 p FD represents the pinnacle of combined mill-turn capability at scale.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Integrated FD mill-turn on a portal platform eliminates workpiece transfer between separate machines for the largest components
5,000 mm turning diameter capability is unmatched for combined mill-turn operations at this scale
120,000 kg workpiece capacity handles the heaviest single-piece components in aerospace and energy manufacturing
18,750 mm X-axis travel covers the longest workpieces produced in any industry
Optional 2,500 Nm torque spindle enables aggressive roughing in titanium and Inconel at full scale
Portal structure maintains consistent rigidity across the entire massive travel range

Limitations

Investment of $5M-$12M+ is the highest in the DMG Mori machining center portfolio
Facility requirements are extreme: purpose-built foundation, overhead crane capacity for 120-ton workpieces, and substantial floor space
Lead times of 18-24+ months due to custom configuration and build complexity
Requires specialized operators experienced in both large-scale 5-axis milling and portal turning operations

Best For

Aerospace manufacturers machining the largest engine casings, structural components, and wing structures requiring combined milling and turning Power generation manufacturers producing large turbine rotors, generator housings, and nuclear vessel components Oil and gas manufacturers machining large subsea manifolds, blowout preventers, and wellhead equipment Naval shipbuilding operations producing large propulsion shaft components and hull structures Wind energy manufacturers machining large main shaft assemblies and bearing housings

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does the DMG Mori DMU 600 p FD cost?

New DMU 600 p FD machines start around $5,000,000 and can exceed $12,000,000 depending on X-axis length, spindle configuration, FD table specifications, and automation. Each machine is custom-configured for the specific application. Foundation and installation costs add $200,000-$1,000,000+ to the total project.

02 How does the DMU 600 p FD differ from the standard DMU 600 p?

The FD variant adds a direct-drive rotary table capable of turning operations, enabling combined mill-turn machining on the portal platform. The standard DMU 600 p is milling-only. The FD version can turn workpieces up to 5,000 mm in diameter, eliminating the need for a separate vertical turning lathe for large round components.

03 What is the maximum turning diameter?

The FD table supports workpieces up to 5,000 mm (196.9 in) in diameter for turning operations. This exceeds the capability of most dedicated vertical turning lathes, making the DMU 600 p FD a unique solution for manufacturers who need both 5-axis milling and large-diameter turning on a single platform.

04 How does this compare to the DMU 600 Gantry linear?

The Gantry linear uses a fixed-table design with the gantry moving over the workpiece, while the DMU 600 p FD uses a portal configuration with an FD rotary table. The Gantry linear handles heavier workpieces (150,000 vs 120,000 kg) but lacks turning capability. Choose the p FD when parts need combined milling and turning; choose the Gantry for the heaviest milling-only applications.
