How much does the DMG Mori DMX 60 U 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
The DMG MORI DMX 60 U is a 5-axis machining center with a swivel-rotary table, 600 × 600 × 510 mm (23.6 × 23.6 × 20.1 in) of travel and room for workpieces up to 630 mm (24.8 in) in diameter, 450 mm (17.7 in) high and 300 kg (661.4 lb).
The table is the centre of the design. It swivels and rotates in the B and C axes for 5-sided machining in one set-up, carries 7 T-slots for clamping devices, and is laid out so that both the operator and a crane can get to it. The 300 kg limit is, by DMG MORI's account, 50% more than the predecessor carried. That matters on a machine of this size, because a vise or a zero-point plate takes its share of the load before the part goes on.
Underneath is a monolithic machine bed with wide roller guideways in all axes, for which DMG MORI claims up to 50% higher static rigidity than the predecessor. Rapid traverse is 42 m per minute in all linear axes, stated as 40% faster than before, and table speed in B and C is given as over 60% higher. The predecessor is not named and no absolute table speed is listed, so these comparisons show the direction of the redesign more than they give numbers to plan with.
Spindles are described as a full range up to 20,000 rpm, or a High Torque version with 200 Nm. The first suits small tools and aluminium, the second larger cutters in steel. Positioning relies on a direct measuring system with linear scales in all linear axes, direct drive transmission in X and Y, and multisensor thermal compensation. Circular interpolation is quoted at a Double Ballbar result below 6 µm in all planes.
The DMX 80 u extends X to 800 mm (31.5 in) on the same 600 mm of Y and 510 mm of Z.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Swivel-rotary table for 5-sided machining in one set-up, taking workpieces up to 300 kg (661.4 lb)
- Rapid traverse of 42 m per minute in all linear axes
- Linear scales in all linear axes and a direct measuring system
- Circular interpolation with a Double Ballbar result below 6 µm in all planes
- Spindle range up to 20,000 rpm, with a High Torque version of 200 Nm for tougher materials
- Table reachable by the operator and by crane, with 7 T-slots for clamping devices
Limitations
- Spindle power is not stated for any spindle, and the High Torque version is listed without a speed
- Tool magazine capacity is not given in DMG MORI's listed data
- Workpiece height is limited to 450 mm (17.7 in) and weight to 300 kg (661.4 lb), which rules out tall or heavy fixture towers
- Rigidity, rapid traverse and table speed gains are stated against an unnamed predecessor, without absolute values for rigidity or table speed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Workpieces up to 630 mm (24.8 in) in diameter, 450 mm (17.7 in) in height and 300 kg (661.4 lb). Travels are 600 mm (23.6 in) in X, 600 mm (23.6 in) in Y and 510 mm (20.1 in) in Z. The diameter limit is a little more than the X and Y travel, so the full diameter is covered with the help of the rotary table.
02
DMG MORI describes a full range of spindles, up to 20,000 rpm, or a High Torque version with 200 Nm. Power ratings, tool interface and the speed of the High Torque spindle are not in the listed data, so request the spindle data sheet with the quotation.
03
Rapid traverse is 42 m per minute in all linear axes, which DMG MORI states is 40% faster than the predecessor. The B and C axes of the table are said to be over 60% faster than before, but no absolute table speed is listed.
04
The machine has a direct measuring system with linear scales in all linear axes, direct drive transmission in the X and Y axes and multisensor thermal compensation. For circular interpolation DMG MORI quotes a Double Ballbar result below 6 µm in all planes. A positioning accuracy figure is not listed.
05
X travel. The DMX 80 u has 800 mm (31.5 in) of X, against 600 mm (23.6 in) on the DMX 60 U. Y and Z are the same on both at 600 mm (23.6 in) and 510 mm (20.1 in). Choose by the longest part or the widest fixture you expect to put on the table.
