How much does the DMG Mori DMU 80P duoBLOCK 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
With 1,050 mm (41.3 in) of Y and 850 mm (33.5 in) of Z on only 800 mm (31.5 in) of X, the DMG MORI DMU 80P duoBLOCK is proportioned for tall, heavy 5-axis work. The table carries up to 1,800 kg (3,968.3 lb), and the largest workpiece measures 950 mm (37.4 in) in diameter by 1,450 mm (57.1 in) in height.
Those proportions set it apart from other machines in the range with the same X travel. The DMU 80 eVo, for example, also has 800 mm of X but 650 mm (25.6 in) of Y and 550 mm (21.7 in) of Z. A buyer choosing between them is really choosing between a machine with less Y and Z for lower parts and a machine for tall housings, tool bodies and heavy structural parts.
DMG MORI's duoBLOCK description lists what carries the load: linear guides 2.2 in wide, ball screws of ø 2.0 in on each axis that are internally cooled as standard, and large YRT bearings in the B- and C-axis. The feed drive is completely water-cooled, and a spindle growth sensor (SGS) corrects for thermal growth of the spindle. Access for maintenance is described as unrestricted, and the stated machine availability is 96 %.
On the cutting side the Highlights name 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. With the roughing package, cutting power is up to 50 % higher. Spindle speeds and the tool count of the wheel magazine are not given, and the base spindle is not identified, so the quotation has to settle them.
A mill-turn version exists as well. The DMU 80 p FD duoBLOCK keeps the 800 × 1,050 × 850 mm travels and adds a DirectDrive table for turning at up to 800 rpm.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Carries workpieces up to 1,800 kg (3,968.3 lb) and 1,450 mm (57.1 in) in height
- 1,050 mm (41.3 in) of Y travel and 850 mm (33.5 in) of Z travel
- powerMASTER motorspindle with 737.6 ft lb and 103.3 hp for heavy cutting
- 5X torqueMASTER with 958.8 ft lb and 49.6 hp where torque counts more than power
- Large YRT bearings in the B- and C-axis and linear guides 2.2 in wide
- Water-cooled feed drive, internally cooled ø 2.0 in ball screws and a spindle growth sensor
Limitations
- X travel is 800 mm (31.5 in), the shortest of the three axes and less than the 950 mm (37.4 in) maximum workpiece diameter
- The listed data gives no spindle speed and does not say which spindle is the base equipment
- Tool capacity of the wheel magazine is not stated
- Turning on the DirectDrive table at up to 800 rpm comes with the mill-turn version, which DMG MORI lists as a separate variant
- The 50 % gain in cutting power depends on the roughing package

Frequently Asked Questions
01
1,800 kg (3,968.3 lb). DMG MORI links the table load of 3,968 lbs to linear guides 2.2 in wide. The workpiece can be up to 950 mm (37.4 in) in diameter and 1,450 mm (57.1 in) in height, and the fixture counts toward the weight.
02
800 mm (31.5 in) in X, 1,050 mm (41.3 in) in Y and 850 mm (33.5 in) in Z. Y is the longest axis and X the shortest, which suits tall parts more than long ones. The maximum workpiece height of 1,450 mm (57.1 in) is greater than the Z travel, so tool reach on tall parts should be checked.
03
The powerMASTER motorspindle is listed with 737.6 ft lb and 103.3 hp. The 5X torqueMASTER is listed with 958.8 ft lb and 49.6 hp. The first has roughly twice the power, the second 30% more torque. Speeds are not listed, so ask for the speed range of each before deciding.
04
DMG MORI notes that the machine is also available in a mill-turn version, with milling and turning in one setup on a DirectDrive table at rotational speeds up to 800 rpm. That version is the DMU 80 p FD duoBLOCK, which has the same travels of 800 × 1,050 × 850 mm (31.5 × 41.3 × 33.5 in).
05
The listed measures are a completely water-cooled feed drive, ball screws of ø 2.0 in that are internally cooled as standard, and a spindle growth sensor (SGS) that compensates for the spindle lengthening as it heats. DMG MORI describes the temperature response as significantly improved but gives no figure for it.
