Overview

The DMG MORI DMU 65 H monoBlock puts a 5-axis swivel rotary table into a horizontal-spindle machine with travels of 650 × 950 × 700 mm (25.6 × 37.4 × 27.6 in) in X, Y and Z. Its workpiece envelope is 840 mm (33.1 in) in diameter by 770 mm (30.3 in) in height, and the specification table gives 600 kg (1,322.8 lb) as the weight limit.

Two of DMG MORI's statements explain why a shop would pick a horizontal layout for 5-axis work. First, the working area is laid out for clamping towers as well as 5-axis components, so tower-mounted batches and single complex parts share one machine. Second, a horizontal spindle lets chips and the heat they carry leave the part instead of collecting on it. The DMU 65 FD monoBLOCK 2nd Generation lists 735 mm (28.9 in), 650 mm (25.6 in) and 560 mm (22 in) of travel in X, Y and Z, so this machine gives up some X for considerably more Y and Z.

Rigidity starts at the bed, a single cast iron piece standing on 3-point support. DMG MORI describes the design as thermosymmetrical with extensive cooling and quotes long-term accuracy of up to 196.8 µin. The rotary table has bearings on both sides and the swivelling table can be clamped, which matters when a heavy cut is taken with the table tilted.

On tooling, the Highlights give one hard figure: an HSK-A100 version exists for tools up to 11 in. diameter and 48.5 lbs. A mill-turn variant with up to 1,200 rpm is listed as well. Spindle speed, power and magazine size are not stated. For installation, DMG MORI gives 139.9 ft² of footprint and 102.4 in. across the slim dimension, and a standardized interface for automation.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

One working area for clamping towers and 5-axis components, so batch and single-part work do not need separate machines
Y travel of 950 mm (37.4 in) and Z travel of 700 mm (27.6 in) on a 139.9 ft² footprint
One-piece cast iron bed on 3-point support, with long-term accuracy quoted at up to 196.8 µin.
Rotary table carried in bearings on both sides, with clamping of the swivelling table
Available with HSK-A100 for tools up to 11 in. diameter and 48.5 lbs.

Limitations

At 650 mm (25.6 in), X is the limiting axis for wide parts and wide tower faces
Workpieces above 600 kg (1,322.8 lb), 840 mm (33.1 in) in diameter or 770 mm (30.3 in) in height are outside the specification table
Turning needs the mill-turn variant; it is listed as a variant, not as part of every machine
Spindle speed, spindle power and tool magazine capacity are not among the figures DMG MORI states here

Best For

Shops that alternate between tower-fixtured batches and one-off 5-axis parts Deep-pocketed parts where a horizontal spindle helps chips clear Tall workpieces that need the 950 mm (37.4 in) of Y travel Heavy tooling up to 11 in. diameter on the HSK-A100 version

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What are the axis travels of the DMU 65 H monoBlock?

650 mm (25.6 in) in X, 950 mm (37.4 in) in Y and 700 mm (27.6 in) in Z. Y is the long axis, which on a horizontal-spindle machine means height. The workpiece envelope that goes with those travels is 840 mm (33.1 in) in diameter and 770 mm (30.3 in) in height.

02 How does the DMU 65 H monoBlock differ from the DMU 65 FD monoBLOCK 2nd Generation?

In the shape of the travel envelope. The DMU 65 FD monoBLOCK 2nd Generation lists 735 mm (28.9 in) of X, 650 mm (25.6 in) of Y and 560 mm (22 in) of Z. The H machine has 650 mm (25.6 in), 950 mm (37.4 in) and 700 mm (27.6 in), with a working area DMG MORI describes as suited to clamping towers.

03 What accuracy does DMG MORI state for this machine?

Long-term accuracy of up to 196.8 µin., attributed to a thermosymmetrical design with extensive cooling measures. The bed is one piece of cast iron on 3-point support. No positioning or repeatability figure is given beyond that long-term value.

04 How much floor space does the DMU 65 H monoBlock take?

DMG MORI gives a footprint of 139.9 ft² and 102.4 in. for the slim dimension, which it relates to linking machines together. Automation is attached through a standardized interface, and its floor area comes on top of the machine's own.

05 Is there a turning version of the DMU 65 H monoBlock?

DMG MORI lists a mill-turn variant for complete machining with up to 1,200 rpm. The DMU 65 h FD monoBLOCK shares the 650 mm (25.6 in), 950 mm (37.4 in) and 700 mm (27.6 in) travels. If turning is needed, make sure the quotation is for the mill-turn variant.
