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 600 P is a 5-axis portal machining center with travels listed up to 18,750 × 4,800 × 1,500 mm (738.2 × 189 × 59.1 in) and a main drive of 71.1 hp and 1,065.8 ft lb, or optionally 80.5 hp and 1,844 ft lb.

The machine is built around changeable heads. A gear spindle is carried in a head with B-axis kinematics, and a motor spindle in heads with C-/A- or C-/B-axis kinematics. One machine can therefore rough with the geared drive and finish contours with a motor spindle, changing the head between operations instead of moving a part of many tonnes to a second machine. The optional main drive is the one for heavy roughing: it has 73% more torque than the standard drive for 13% more power.

X and Y are moved by what DMG MORI calls a gear rod drive, Z and W by ball screws. The W-axis is named but no W travel is listed. With 1,500 mm of Z and a maximum part height of 3,000 mm (118.1 in), ask how Z and W share the vertical range before planning deep features.

The technical data allows workpieces up to 18,100 mm (712.6 in) long, 3,500 mm (137.8 in) wide and 120,000 kg (264,554.7 lb). The Highlights describe a working area for work pieces up to 236.2 in x 118.1 in and 55,116 (88,185) lb. The design is modular and comes in double table and multi table versions, so the smaller figures read as one table and the larger as the biggest build. Have DMG MORI confirm which table size and load your configuration carries.

Machine bed, column and crossbeam are cast from EN-GJS-600-3, all relevant heat sources are liquid-cooled, and a connection to an on-site cooling circuit is optional.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How much power and torque does the DMU 600 P have?

The main drive is listed with 71.1 hp and 1,065.8 ft lb of torque. An optional drive has 80.5 hp and 1,844 ft lb. The option adds 73% more torque for 13% more power, so it is aimed at large cutters at low speed. Spindle speeds are not stated in the listed data.

02 What are the changeable heads on the DMU 600 P?

DMG MORI lists changeable heads with B-axis kinematics for the gear spindle and with C-/A- and C-/B-axis kinematics for the motor spindle. The head is chosen to suit the operation: the geared drive for torque, the motor spindle for 5-axis contouring. How many heads a machine carries and how they are exchanged is not described in the listed data.

03 What are the travels and workpiece limits of the DMU 600 P?

Travels are listed at 18,750 mm (738.2 in) in X, 4,800 mm (189 in) in Y and 1,500 mm (59.1 in) in Z. The technical data gives workpieces up to 18,100 mm (712.6 in) long, 3,500 mm (137.8 in) wide, 3,000 mm (118.1 in) high and 120,000 kg (264,554.7 lb).

04 How are the axes of the DMU 600 P driven?

X and Y use a gear rod drive. Z and W use ball screw drives, which DMG MORI chooses for dynamics in the vertical axes. For the envelope, the sibling to compare is the DMU 600 Gantry, which is listed with 18,000 × 4,500 × 2,000 mm (708.7 × 177.2 × 78.7 in) of travel.

05 Is there a turning version of the DMU 600 P?

Yes. DMG MORI states that the machine is also available in a mill-turn version, which is the DMU 600 p FD. It is listed with the same travels of 18,750 × 4,800 × 1,500 mm (738.2 × 189 × 59.1 in). Choose the P when the work is prismatic and the FD when large round parts have to be turned and milled in one setup.
