Overview

The DMG MORI DMU 80 p FD duoBLOCK combines 5-axis milling, turning and grinding on one machine for parts up to 950 mm (37.4 in) in diameter, 1,450 mm (57.1 in) tall and 1,800 kg (3,968.3 lb). Its DirectDrive table turns at up to 800 rpm, and the linear axes travel 800 × 1,050 × 850 mm (31.5 × 41.3 × 33.5 in).

The reason to buy an FD duoBLOCK is to finish a heavy rotational part without moving it between machines. A casing or ring that would otherwise go from a vertical lathe to a machining center and then to a grinder stays in one clamping here: turned on the DirectDrive table, milled and drilled in five axes, and finished with the integrated grinding technology that DMG MORI lists for surface quality. Each transfer avoided removes a re-clamping error, which is where the saving lies on parts with tight relationships between turned and milled features.

Two spindles are named. The powerMASTER motorspindle is rated 737.6 ft lb and 103.3 hp. The 5X torqueMASTER is rated 958.8 ft lb and 49.6 hp, which is 30% more torque from less than half the power, so its strength must lie at low speed with large cutters. Neither comes with a speed figure in the listed data. A roughing package is listed with up to 50 % higher cutting power.

Thermal control is treated as part of the machine. The feed drive is completely water-cooled, the ball screws are internally cooled as standard at ø 2.0 in on all three axes, and a spindle growth sensor (SGS) compensates for the spindle lengthening as it warms. Linear guides 2.2 in wide carry the table load of 3,968 lbs. DMG MORI states a machine availability of 96 %.

The envelope is unusually tall. Maximum workpiece height is 1,450 mm against 850 mm of Z travel, so on a tall part check which heights the tool can actually reach before designing the fixture.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Milling and turning in one setup on a DirectDrive table with speeds up to 800 rpm
Grinding is available as an integrated technology for surface quality
Choice of a powerMASTER motorspindle with 737.6 ft lb and 103.3 hp or a 5X torqueMASTER with 958.8 ft lb and 49.6 hp
Table load of 1,800 kg (3,968.3 lb) on linear guides 2.2 in wide
Internally cooled ball screws of ø 2.0 in as standard and a completely water-cooled feed drive
Spindle growth sensor (SGS) to compensate for spindle growth

Limitations

No spindle speed is listed for either the powerMASTER or the 5X torqueMASTER
The 5X torqueMASTER has 49.6 hp, less than half the 103.3 hp of the powerMASTER, so the extra torque comes with a lower power rating
X travel is 800 mm (31.5 in) while the workpiece can be 950 mm (37.4 in) in diameter, so the full diameter is reached only by rotating the table
The magazine is described as a compact wheel magazine but its pocket count is not listed
Up to 50 % higher cutting power requires the roughing package

Best For

Heavy rotational parts up to 1,800 kg (3,968.3 lb) turned and milled in one setup Tall workpieces up to 1,450 mm (57.1 in) in height Parts that need a ground finish without a transfer to a grinding machine Low-speed, high-torque milling with the 958.8 ft lb 5X torqueMASTER Rings and casings up to 950 mm (37.4 in) in diameter

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What turning speed does the DMU 80 p FD duoBLOCK reach?

The DirectDrive table runs at rotational speeds up to 800 rpm, which allows milling and turning in one setup. The usable speed for a particular job depends on the diameter, weight and balance of the part. The listed data gives no turning torque for the table.

02 Which spindles are offered on the DMU 80 p FD duoBLOCK?

DMG MORI names a powerMASTER motorspindle with 737.6 ft lb and 103.3 hp and a 5X torqueMASTER with 958.8 ft lb and 49.6 hp. The torqueMASTER has 30% more torque and the powerMASTER about twice the power. No maximum speed is listed for either, so ask for the speed range before choosing.

03 How large a part fits on the DMU 80 p FD duoBLOCK?

Up to 950 mm (37.4 in) in diameter, 1,450 mm (57.1 in) in height and 1,800 kg (3,968.3 lb). Travels are 800 mm (31.5 in) in X, 1,050 mm (41.3 in) in Y and 850 mm (33.5 in) in Z. Because the maximum height exceeds the Z travel, check tool reach on tall parts.

04 Can the DMU 80 p FD duoBLOCK grind?

DMG MORI lists grinding as an integrated technology on this model, aimed at surface quality. Together with turning on the DirectDrive table at up to 800 rpm and 5-axis milling, that lets a part be finished in one setup. Wheel sizes and dressing equipment are not described in the listed data.

05 What does the roughing package do?

DMG MORI lists the roughing package with up to 50 % higher cutting power. It is a package on top of the base machine, so it has to be specified on the order. The listed data does not say what the package contains.

06 How does it compare with the DMU 80 FD eVo?

The DMU 80 FD eVo has the same 800 mm (31.5 in) of X travel but 650 mm (25.6 in) of Y and 550 mm (21.7 in) of Z. The DMU 80 p FD duoBLOCK has 1,050 mm (41.3 in) of Y and 850 mm (33.5 in) of Z and carries workpieces up to 1,800 kg (3,968.3 lb).
