How much does the DMG Mori DMU 65 FD monoBLOCK 2nd Generation cost?
Estimated price range
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 65 FD monoBLOCK 2nd Generation is the mill-turn member of the DMU 65 family: a 5-axis machining center with 735 × 650 × 560 mm (28.9 × 25.6 × 22 in) of travel whose swivelling rotary table can also be used for turning. DMG MORI's Highlights describe two table solutions for this frame, one for 5-axis machining with up to 1,000 kg and one for complete machining by milling and turning with up to 1,000 Nm.
The work envelope takes a part up to 840 mm (33.1 in) in diameter and 500 mm (19.7 in) tall. That diameter is larger than the 735 mm of X travel, which is normal on a rotary-table machine: the far side of a big part is reached by rotating it, not by travelling across it. Maximum workpiece weight is listed as 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb). Because the Highlights tie that figure to the 5-axis table and describe the mill-turn table only by its torque, ask for the load limit of the turning table before planning heavy turned parts.
For the milling spindle DMG MORI quotes a range, with up to 30,000 rpm at one end and up to 200 Nm at the other. Those are different spindles, and the listed data does not say which one the standard machine carries. The tool magazines are integrated in the machine and go up to 240 pockets; the size of the standard magazine is not stated either. A mill-turn job needs turning tools as well as milling tools, so pocket count deserves attention when the machine is specified.
Positioning accuracy is 4 µm as standard. Behind that figure are direct driven ball screws in X and Y, 45 mm roller guideways in all axes and ball screws of ø 40 / 50 / 40 mm, plus cooling measures, a high-performance coolant unit and multi-sensor compensation that are all standard. The machine stands on a three-point support and occupies 8 m², and its 1,310 mm door opening allows crane loading of up to 1,000 kg.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Milling and turning in one setup: DMG MORI lists a mill-turn table solution with up to 1,000 Nm
- Takes workpieces up to 840 mm (33.1 in) in diameter on a footprint of 8 m²
- 4 µm positioning accuracy as standard, with multi-sensor compensation and a high-performance coolant unit included
- Machine-integrated tool magazines with up to 240 pockets
- A 1,310 mm door opening and crane loading of up to 1,000 kg
- 45 mm roller guideways in all axes and ball screws of ø 40 / 50 / 40 mm
Limitations
- No table speed for turning is listed, only up to 1,000 Nm, so the rpm available for turned features has to come from the quotation
- The spindle range is given only by its two ends, up to 30,000 rpm or up to 200 Nm, and the listed data does not say what the standard spindle delivers
- Workpiece height is limited to 500 mm (19.7 in), low against the 840 mm (33.1 in) diameter, so tall housings and shafts stood on end do not fit
- Direct driven ball screws are listed for X and Y only, not for Z

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Yes. DMG MORI lists a table solution for complete machining with milling and turning with up to 1,000 Nm, next to a 5-axis table solution with up to 1,000 kg. The listed data gives no table speed for turning, so ask for the maximum turning rpm and the permitted load on the mill-turn table when you request a quotation.
02
840 mm (33.1 in) in diameter, 500 mm (19.7 in) in height and 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb). The travels are 735 mm (28.9 in) in X, 650 mm (25.6 in) in Y and 560 mm (22 in) in Z. Parts can be craned in through the 1,310 mm door opening; DMG MORI states crane loading of up to 1,000 kg.
03
DMG MORI gives a spindle range for this model with up to 30,000 rpm or with up to 200 Nm. These are different spindles for different work, one for speed and one for torque. The listed data does not give the rating of the standard spindle or name the individual spindles, so check which one is quoted.
04
DMG MORI lists machine-integrated tool magazines with up to 240 pockets. The size of the standard magazine is not given in the listed data, so confirm it on the quotation. For mill-turn work, count the turning tools as well as the milling tools when deciding on the magazine size.
05
The DMU 60 FD eVo 2nd Generation has 750 × 550 × 550 mm (29.5 × 21.7 × 21.7 in) of travel. The DMU 65 FD monoBLOCK 2nd Generation has less X at 735 mm (28.9 in) but more Y at 650 mm (25.6 in), and a 560 mm (22 in) Z. Its workpiece limits are 840 mm (33.1 in) in diameter and 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb).
