How much does the DMG Mori DMU 65 monoBlock 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
Much of the case for the DMG MORI DMU 65 monoBlock is made at the door, not at the spindle. This 5-axis machine offers 735 × 650 × 560 mm (28.9 × 25.6 × 22 in) of travel, yet DMG MORI gives its footprint as just 8 m², with a door opening of 1,310 mm and crane loading of up to 1,000 kg that the Highlights call unrestricted.
That loading figure matches the table. Maximum workpiece weight is 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb) on the 5-axis table solution, for a part up to 840 mm (33.1 in) in diameter and 500 mm (19.7 in) high. Parts of that weight cannot be lifted in by hand, so the route for the crane hook matters as much as the travels. The Highlights also list clamping of the swivelling rotary table, which is what counts in positioned roughing, where the table has to hold an angle against the cut.
The monoBLOCK name describes the build: one casting, a one-piece column, 45 mm roller guideways in all axes and ball screws of ø 40 / 50 / 40 mm, direct driven in X and Y. Positioning accuracy is 4 µm as standard. Cooling measures, the coolant unit and multi-sensor compensation come with the standard machine instead of being ordered separately, and installation rests on a three-point support.
Spindle data in the listed figures is a range, not a single rating: up to 30,000 rpm at one end and up to 200 Nm at the other. Tool magazines are integrated into the machine and go up to 240 pockets. The same Highlights mention a second table solution for milling and turning with up to 1,000 Nm; the DMU 65 FD monoBLOCK 2nd Generation has the same 735 × 650 × 560 mm travels.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Carries up to 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb) on the 5-axis table while standing on a footprint of 8 m²
- The 1,310 mm door opening gives a crane a clear path for loads of up to 1,000 kg
- Cooling measures, a high-performance coolant unit and multi-sensor compensation are standard equipment
- One-piece column with 45 mm roller guideways in all axes; ball screws measure ø 40 / 50 / 40 mm
- Spindle range with up to 30,000 rpm or with up to 200 Nm
Limitations
- The listed data names no standard spindle speed or power, only the two ends of the range, so the base configuration must be read from the quotation
- Up to 30,000 rpm and up to 200 Nm are alternatives within the spindle range, not figures for one spindle
- A part can be 840 mm (33.1 in) across but only 500 mm (19.7 in) high, which excludes tall workpieces
- The number of pockets in the standard magazine is not stated for this model; only the maximum of 240 pockets is

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The maximum workpiece weight is 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb), and DMG MORI states crane loading of up to 1,000 kg through a door opening of 1,310 mm. The part can be up to 840 mm (33.1 in) in diameter and 500 mm (19.7 in) high. Include the fixture when you add up the load.
02
735 mm (28.9 in) in X, 650 mm (25.6 in) in Y and 560 mm (22 in) in Z. The maximum workpiece diameter of 840 mm (33.1 in) is larger than the X travel because the rotary table brings the far side of the part to the spindle.
03
DMG MORI gives a footprint of just 8 m². The machine sits on a three-point support, which the manufacturer says makes it quick and easy to set up. Space for the crane approach in front of the 1,310 mm door, and for any chip handling or automation, comes on top of the footprint.
04
DMG MORI states 4 µm positioning accuracy as standard. The listed design features are direct driven ball screws in X and Y, 45 mm roller guideways in all axes, ball screws of ø 40 / 50 / 40 mm and a one-piece column, together with standard cooling measures and multi-sensor compensation.
05
DMG MORI's Highlights describe two table solutions: 5-axis machining with up to 1,000 kg, or complete machining with milling and turning with up to 1,000 Nm. The DMU 65 FD monoBLOCK 2nd Generation is listed with the same travels of 735 × 650 × 560 mm (28.9 × 25.6 × 22 in). Confirm with DMG MORI which table the quoted machine carries.
