Our best estimate for a horizontal machining centers (hmc) in this class — not a quote from DMG Mori. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The DMG MORI DMU 65 h FD monoBLOCK 2nd Generation is a traveling-column horizontal machining center with a 5-axis swiveling rotary table and 650 mm (25.6 in) of X, 950 mm (37.4 in) of Y and 700 mm (27.6 in) of Z travel. The table is supported on both sides and takes components up to ø840 x 770 mm and 600 kg (1,322.8 lb).

DMG MORI presents it as a 5-in-1 machine: milling, turning, grinding, measuring and gear cutting in one setup. For a shop, the point is fewer transfers between machines on parts that need several of those processes. No speed, torque or power is attached to any of the five, so which processes a given configuration includes, and how hard it can run them, has to come from the quotation.

The tool limits are generous for the envelope. Tools can be up to 650 mm long, 280 mm in diameter and up to 22 kg. A 650 mm tool takes up most of the 700 mm (27.6 in) of Z, so a tool that long is for deep bores in parts that leave room along Z, not for workpieces that fill the envelope.

The column travels while the cast iron bed, on 3-point support, stays fixed, and the X-axis runs on three guides. DMG MORI gives acceleration of up to 8.5 m/s² and attributes it to low moving masses. Long-term accuracy is stated as standard up to 5 µm, with a thermosymmetrical design and extensive cooling named as the means.

The footprint is 13 m² and the narrow dimension is 2.6 m, which DMG MORI relates to integration into production lines. Where more room is needed, the DMU 85 h FD monoBLOCK offers 850 mm (33.5 in), 1,150 mm (45.3 in) and 900 mm (35.4 in) of travel.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Tools up to 650 mm long, 280 mm in diameter and up to 22 kg
Long-term accuracy stated as standard up to 5 µm, from a thermosymmetrical design with extensive cooling
Acceleration of up to 8.5 m/s² from a traveling column with low moving masses
Swiveling rotary table supported on both sides for components up to ø840 x 770 mm and 600 kg
13 m² footprint and a 2.6 m narrow dimension for integration into production lines
Milling, turning, grinding, measuring and gear cutting are named as processes the machine can combine

Limitations

X travel is 650 mm (25.6 in), well short of the 950 mm (37.4 in) of Y
A 650 mm tool leaves little of the 700 mm (27.6 in) Z stroke for the part
Component weight is limited to 600 kg, which a loaded fixture can approach quickly
No spindle speed, power or torque is given in DMG MORI's Highlights, and none for turning or grinding

Best For

Parts that combine milled, turned and ground features in one clamping Deep bores and long-reach work using tools up to 650 mm long 5-axis components within ø840 x 770 mm and 600 kg Production lines where a 2.6 m narrow dimension eases integration

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size of part does the DMU 65 h FD monoBLOCK 2nd Generation take?

Components up to ø840 x 770 mm and 600 kg (1,322.8 lb) on the swiveling rotary table, which is supported on both sides. Travels are 650 mm (25.6 in) in X, 950 mm (37.4 in) in Y and 700 mm (27.6 in) in Z.

02 What does 5-in-1 process integration mean on this machine?

DMG MORI names five processes: milling, turning, grinding, measuring and gear cutting. The Highlights list them without figures, so they describe what the platform can be configured to do. Confirm which are in the configuration quoted to you and ask for turning speed and torque if turned features matter.

03 How long and heavy can the tools be?

Up to 650 mm in length, 280 mm in diameter and up to 22 kg. A tool at the full 650 mm uses most of the 700 mm (27.6 in) Z travel, so check tool length against part depth for each job. The Highlights do not say how many tools the magazine holds.

04 How does the 2nd Generation compare with the DMU 65 h FD monoBLOCK on travel?

The DMU 65 h FD monoBLOCK lists the same travels: 650 mm (25.6 in) in X, 950 mm (37.4 in) in Y and 700 mm (27.6 in) in Z. On this model DMG MORI adds stated figures for acceleration, up to 8.5 m/s², and for tools, up to 650 mm long and 22 kg.

05 How much floor space does the machine need?

DMG MORI gives a footprint of 13 m² and a narrow dimension of 2.6 m, and relates both to easy integration into production lines. Those figures cover the machine itself; space for automation, chip handling and service access has to be added from the installation drawing.
