Overview

The DMG MORI DMU 85 h FD monoBLOCK is a horizontal 5-axis machine for parts up to 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb), with 850 mm (33.5 in) of X, 1,150 mm (45.3 in) of Y and 900 mm (35.4 in) of Z travel. The swivel rotary table accepts workpieces up to 1,040 mm (40.9 in) in diameter and 1,000 mm (39.4 in) high.

Size is the reason to choose it over the DMU 65 h FD monoBLOCK, which has 650 mm (25.6 in), 950 mm (37.4 in) and 700 mm (27.6 in) of travel. Every axis is longer here, and a part a full metre tall fits the envelope. The comparison with the DMU 85 FD monoBLOCK runs the other way on one axis: that machine lists 935 mm (36.8 in) of X against 850 mm (33.5 in), but only 850 mm (33.5 in) of Y and 650 mm (25.6 in) of Z.

DMG MORI lists a mill-turn variant for complete machining with up to 800 rpm. At a workpiece diameter of 1,040 mm (40.9 in) the surface speed at the rim is high even at moderate rotation, so that ceiling is less restrictive than it looks for large rings and housings. It does restrict small turned diameters, where the same 800 rpm gives a low cutting speed.

The tool side can be specified to match the part weight. An HSK-A100 tool holder is available, for tools up to 11 in. diameter and 65.1 lbs. The bed is one cast iron piece on 3-point support, the table runs in bearings on both sides and can be clamped, and long-term accuracy is quoted as up to 0.0002 in.

For a machine with this envelope the floor demand is moderate: a 188.4 ft² footprint and a slim dimension under 11.5 ft. DMG MORI points to linking and to a standardized interface for automation. The working area is described as suited to clamping towers and 5-axis components alike.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Takes workpieces up to 1,040 mm (40.9 in) in diameter, 1,000 mm (39.4 in) high and 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb) on a 5-axis table
1,150 mm (45.3 in) of Y and 900 mm (35.4 in) of Z travel, more than the DMU 85 FD monoBLOCK lists on those two axes
Mill-turn variant for complete machining with up to 800 rpm
HSK-A100 available for tools up to 11 in. diameter and 65.1 lbs.
188.4 ft² footprint with a slim dimension under 11.5 ft

Limitations

The mill-turn variant tops out at 800 rpm, which gives low cutting speeds on small turned diameters
X travel is 850 mm (33.5 in), less than the 935 mm (36.8 in) of the DMU 85 FD monoBLOCK
HSK-A100 is listed as an available version, so the 65.1 lbs. tool weight cannot be assumed on every machine
DMG MORI's Highlights state no spindle speed, power, torque or magazine size for this model

Best For

Large housings and structural parts up to 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb) Rings and flanges near 1,040 mm (40.9 in) that need turning and milling in one setup Tower-fixtured batches of medium parts within 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of height Heavy boring and facing tools up to 65.1 lbs. on the HSK-A100 version

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How big a part can the DMU 85 h FD monoBLOCK machine?

Up to 1,040 mm (40.9 in) in diameter, 1,000 mm (39.4 in) in height and 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb). The travels behind that envelope are 850 mm (33.5 in) in X, 1,150 mm (45.3 in) in Y and 900 mm (35.4 in) in Z, on a swivel rotary table with bearings on both sides.

02 How fast does the mill-turn variant run?

DMG MORI lists the mill-turn variant with up to 800 rpm. That suits large diameters, where rim speed is already high, better than small ones. Turning torque and power are not published in the Highlights, so request them for heavy turning cuts.

03 What is the difference between the DMU 85 h FD monoBLOCK and the DMU 85 FD monoBLOCK?

Their travel envelopes differ in shape. The DMU 85 FD monoBLOCK lists 935 mm (36.8 in) of X, 850 mm (33.5 in) of Y and 650 mm (25.6 in) of Z. The h machine has 850 mm (33.5 in), 1,150 mm (45.3 in) and 900 mm (35.4 in), and DMG MORI describes its working area as suited to clamping towers as well as 5-axis components.

04 What tools can the HSK-A100 version carry?

Tools up to 11 in. diameter and 65.1 lbs., according to DMG MORI's Highlights. The machine is described as also available with HSK-A100, so it is a version to select when ordering. Tool length limits and magazine capacity are not stated.

05 How much space does the DMU 85 h FD monoBLOCK need?

The stated footprint is 188.4 ft² and the slim dimension is under 11.5 ft. DMG MORI relates the slim design to linking machines and names a standardized interface for automation. Allow extra area for whichever automation and chip handling is chosen.
