Overview

The DMG MORI ecoMill 50 is a compact vertical machining center listed with 500 × 400 × 400 mm (19.7 × 15.7 × 15.7 in) of travel, a 15,000 rpm CAT 40 spindle and a 600 x 400 mm (23.6 x 15.7 in) table. It is not in DMG MORI's current lineup and may be an older model. Read the figures on this page as listed figures and confirm them on the machine you are looking at.

The envelope is small and the table is larger than it. At 600 mm the table is longer than the 500 mm of X travel, while its 400 mm depth equals the Y travel, so the spindle covers the table front to back but stops short of its ends. Table load is listed at 400 kg (882 lb), which has to cover the vise or fixture as well as the part. Z travel of 400 mm (15.7 in) is shared between the tool, the workholding and the workpiece.

The listed spindle is rated 11 kW (14.8 hp) and 70 Nm. With a top speed of 15,000 rpm that points to small and medium cutters run fast, in aluminium or in light cuts on steel. 70 Nm is the limit to hold against your largest face mill, drill or tap. Rapid traverse is 36 m/min (1,417 ipm), and the magazine is listed at 20 tools with 30 as an option.

Two controls appear in the listed data, Siemens Sinumerik 828D and Fanuc 0i-MF, so find out which one a given machine carries before planning programs and post-processors around it. Positioning accuracy is listed as 0.008 mm (8 µm) and weight as 4,500 kg (9,921 lb). Among nearby models, the CMX 600 V has 600 mm (23.6 in) of X, 560 mm (22 in) of Y and 510 mm (20.1 in) of Z travel, larger in all three axes.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

15,000 rpm spindle on a CAT 40 taper, listed at 11 kW (14.8 hp) and 70 Nm
Y travel of 400 mm (15.7 in) covers the full 400 mm depth of the table
Rapid traverse listed at 36 m/min (1,417 ipm)
20-tool magazine as listed, with 30 tools as an option
Listed positioning accuracy of 0.008 mm (8 µm)

Limitations

Not in DMG MORI's current lineup, so every listed figure needs confirming on the individual machine
70 Nm of spindle torque limits large face mills and heavy drilling in steel
X travel of 500 mm (19.7 in) is shorter than the 600 mm (23.6 in) table, so the ends of a full-length fixture are out of reach
Table load is listed at 400 kg (882 lb), fixture and part together
The 30-tool magazine is an option; the listed standard is 20

Best For

Small prismatic parts within 500 × 400 × 400 mm (19.7 × 15.7 × 15.7 in) of travel Aluminium and light-alloy work with small tools at up to 15,000 rpm Short-run and second-operation work on fixtures inside the 400 kg (882 lb) table load Buyers of an existing machine who want a CAT 40 spindle in a small envelope

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is the DMG MORI ecoMill 50 still in the lineup?

No. The ecoMill 50 is not in DMG MORI's current lineup and may be an older model. Anyone considering one is looking at an existing machine, so the listed figures, such as 500 × 400 × 400 mm of travel and a 15,000 rpm spindle, should be confirmed from that machine's manual and data plate.

02 How big a part fits on the ecoMill 50?

Listed travels are 500 mm (19.7 in) in X and 400 mm (15.7 in) in both Y and Z. The table is 600 x 400 mm (23.6 x 15.7 in) with a listed load of 400 kg (882 lb). Because the table is longer than the X travel, a part can be clamped along the full table but only 500 mm of its length is within reach of the spindle.

03 What spindle is listed for the ecoMill 50?

A CAT 40 spindle with a maximum of 15,000 rpm, 11 kW (14.8 hp) and 70 Nm. The speed suits small tools and aluminium. The 70 Nm torque figure is the one to check against large face mills, drills and taps in steel, where torque runs out before speed does.

04 How many tools does the ecoMill 50 hold?

The listed magazine holds 20 tools, with 30 as an option. On an existing machine the magazine is already fixed, so count the pockets instead of assuming the larger one. Tool diameter, length and weight limits are not in the listed figures and need to come from the manual.

05 Which control does the ecoMill 50 use?

Two are listed, Siemens Sinumerik 828D and Fanuc 0i-MF. A given machine has one of them. The choice affects post-processors, operator training and how existing programs transfer, so identify the control before comparing two machines of this model.

06 How does the ecoMill 50 compare in size with the NV 4000 DCG?

The NV 4000 DCG has 600 mm (23.6 in) of X travel with 400 mm (15.7 in) of Y and Z. The ecoMill 50 is listed with the same 400 mm of Y and Z and a shorter X of 500 mm (19.7 in).
