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

The DMG MORI DMU 85 FD monoBLOCK is a 5-axis mill-turn machining center: 935 × 850 × 650 mm (36.8 × 33.5 × 25.6 in) of travel, turning at up to 800 rpm, and a workpiece envelope of ø 1,040 × 590 mm (40.9 × 23.2 in). DMG MORI positions it as a process-integration machine, listing Mill & Turn, grinding, gear cutting, in-process measuring and ultrasonic among the technologies that can run on it.

Two weight figures appear and they should not be confused. The technical data gives a maximum workpiece weight of 1,500 kg (3,306.9 lb). The Mill & Turn line in the Highlights gives workpieces up to 1,200 kg. Plan turned parts, with their fixtures, against the lower figure, and have the higher one confirmed for milling-only loads.

The envelope is wide and low. A diameter of 1,040 mm (40.9 in) with a height of 590 mm (23.2 in) suits rings, discs, gear blanks and flat housings; the gear cutting and grinding technologies point at the same kind of part. Loading goes through a 1,500 mm wide door opening, and DMG MORI states that accessibility is fully maintained when automation is fitted. Automation can also be retrofitted.

The spindle range reaches up to 30,000 rpm or 430 Nm torque, depending on the spindle chosen, and MASTER spindles carry a 36-month warranty without hour limit. The machine-integrated tool magazine has 30 pockets as standard and up to 240. Positioning accuracy is 5 µm, DMG MORI credits VCS Complete with 30 % higher volumetric accuracy, and cooling with multi-sensor compensation is part of the concept. Technical availability is stated as ≥ 96 %, and GREENMODE is listed with more than 30 % reduced energy consumption.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Milling and turning in one machine, with turning operations up to max. 800 rpm
Process integration covers Mill & Turn, grinding, gear cutting, in-process measuring and ultrasonic
Spindle range with up to 30,000 rpm or 430 Nm torque
MASTER spindles come with a 36-month warranty without hour limit
Tool magazine with 30 pockets as standard, expandable to 240 pockets
1,500 mm wide door opening, with access kept when automation is installed

Limitations

For Mill & Turn the workpiece limit is 1,200 kg, below the 1,500 kg (3,306.9 lb) maximum workpiece weight in the technical data
Workpiece height is limited to 590 mm (23.2 in), so the machine does not suit tall parts
30,000 rpm and 430 Nm are the two ends of the spindle range and are not available from one spindle; the standard spindle is not identified
No turning torque is listed for the table, only the turning speed of up to max. 800 rpm

Best For

Rings, discs and flat housings up to 1,040 mm (40.9 in) in diameter Turned and milled parts up to 1,200 kg finished in one setup Gear blanks that are turned, gear cut and ground on one machine Automated cells, since automation can be retrofitted with door access kept Wide mixes of tooling with a magazine of up to 240 pockets

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the turning capacity of the DMU 85 FD monoBLOCK?

For Mill & Turn DMG MORI lists workpieces up to ø 1,040 × 590 mm and 1,200 kg, with turning operations up to max. 800 rpm. No turning torque is given in the listed data. The 1,200 kg applies to mill-turn work and is lower than the general maximum workpiece weight of 1,500 kg (3,306.9 lb).

02 Which machining processes can the DMU 85 FD monoBLOCK combine?

DMG MORI lists process integration with Mill & Turn, grinding, gear cutting, in-process measuring and ultrasonic. Which of these are included and which are options is not stated in the listed data, so each technology you need should appear on the quotation.

03 What are the axis travels of the DMU 85 FD monoBLOCK?

935 mm (36.8 in) in X, 850 mm (33.5 in) in Y and 650 mm (25.6 in) in Z. The maximum workpiece diameter of 1,040 mm (40.9 in) is larger than the X travel, and the maximum height is 590 mm (23.2 in).

04 How many tools does the DMU 85 FD monoBLOCK carry?

30 pockets as standard, in a machine-integrated tool magazine. Magazines with up to 240 pockets are available. On a mill-turn machine the turning tools take pockets too, and so do grinding wheels or gear cutting tools if those technologies are used, so size the magazine for the full process.

05 How accurate is the DMU 85 FD monoBLOCK?

DMG MORI states a positioning accuracy of 5 µm and 30 % higher volumetric accuracy thanks to VCS Complete. A cooling concept and multi-sensor compensation are listed in support. The baseline for the 30 % comparison is not given.

06 How does it compare with the DMU 90 p duoBLOCK?

The DMU 90 p duoBLOCK travels 900 mm (35.4 in) in X, 1,050 mm (41.3 in) in Y and 850 mm (33.5 in) in Z. The DMU 85 FD monoBLOCK has more X at 935 mm (36.8 in) but less Y and Z, at 850 mm (33.5 in) and 650 mm (25.6 in), and adds turning at up to 800 rpm.
