Overview
The DMG Mori DMX 60 U is a mid-range simultaneous 5-axis machining center that bridges the gap between the entry-level CMX U series and the premium DMU monoBlock platform. Positioned as the value-oriented option for shops that need better performance than the CMX but do not require the full premium of the DMU, the DMX 60 U delivers 600 x 500 x 500 mm (23.6 x 19.7 x 19.7 in) of X/Y/Z travel with swivel rotary table.
The spindle runs at 15,000 RPM through an HSK-A63 taper, producing 25 kW (34 hp) and 87 Nm (64 ft-lb) of torque. A-axis swivel range is -35 to +110 degrees with 360-degree continuous C-axis. Rapid traverse hits 42 m/min (1,654 ipm) -- a significant step up from the CMX U series at 30 m/min.
The standard tool magazine holds 30 tools expandable to 60 or 120. Maximum table load is 300 kg (661 lb) on a 600 mm diameter table. Running on CELOS with Fanuc or Siemens control. The DMX series uses a rigid machine bed design with optimized thermal management for consistent accuracy during production runs.
Competitors include the Hermle C 250, Makino D500, and Matsuura MX-330. New DMX 60 U machines price between $275,000 and $400,000. The HSK-A63 spindle and faster rapids position the DMX 60 U as a production-capable 5-axis machine at a price point below the DMU monoBlock series. Specs sourced from DMG Mori published data.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- HSK-A63 spindle at 15,000 RPM provides better tool clamping and high-speed capability than CAT 40 alternatives
- 42 m/min rapids are a 40% improvement over CMX U series, significantly reducing non-cutting time
- Mid-range pricing offers substantial savings over premium DMU monoBlock while delivering production-capable performance
- CELOS with Fanuc or Siemens control matches shop standardization
- Rigid machine bed design with thermal management for consistent accuracy during production runs
- DMG Mori global service and support network
Limitations
- 87 Nm spindle torque limits heavy roughing capability in steel and titanium
- 30-tool standard magazine requires expansion for complex multi-operation parts
- 300 kg table load limits workpiece size compared to larger 5-axis platforms
- As a relatively newer model, the used market has fewer options for budget buyers
- Not as rigid as the DMU monoBlock one-piece casting design

Frequently Asked Questions
01
New DMX 60 U machines price between $275,000 and $400,000 depending on spindle, ATC, and control. This positions it between the CMX U series ($175K-$325K) and the DMU monoBlock ($400K+).
02
The DMX 60 U offers HSK-A63 spindle (vs CAT 40), faster 42 m/min rapids (vs 30 m/min), and faster tool change. The CMX 70 U has more X-travel (700 vs 600 mm) and lower price. Choose the DMX for speed; choose the CMX for envelope and value.
03
The DMU 50 monoBlock has a one-piece casting for higher rigidity, wider spindle options up to 20K RPM, and generally better dynamic performance. The DMX 60 U is $100K-$150K less expensive with similar travel.
04
Yes. The 42 m/min rapids, HSK-A63 spindle, and 2.5-second tool change make it suitable for production volumes of complex 5-axis parts, especially in aluminum and mixed materials.
