How much does the DMG Mori HSC 20 linear 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 HSC 20 linear is a small 5-axis high-speed machining center: 200 × 220 × 280 mm (7.9 × 8.7 × 11.0 in) of travel, a spindle listed at 60,000 rpm and linear motor drives on all linear axes. It is not in DMG MORI's current lineup, so the listed figures are best used as a guide when looking at a used machine and checked against its documentation.
Everything about it is scaled to small, light parts. The listed workpiece is 200 mm (7.9 in) in diameter and 200 mm (7.9 in) high. In 5-axis use the Ø200 mm table carries 15 kg (33 lb), while the 370x320 mm rigid table takes 100 kg (220 lb). The A axis tilts from -15° to +130° and the C axis rotates 360° continuously. Spindle tapers are HSK-E32 / HSK-E40, interfaces for small-shank tools, and together with 60,000 rpm they point to electrodes, small mould inserts and other fine-detail work, not to general milling.
Acceleration is listed at more than 2G on the linear axes. On travels this short that counts for more than top speed, because the axes spend most of a contour speeding up and slowing down. For unattended running, the listed pallet system (PH 10/100) offers up to 99 pallet places with a maximum handling weight of 10 kg per pallet. The control is Siemens (CELOS X compatible). For more room, the DMU 20 Linear is listed with 220 × 370 × 290 mm (8.7 × 14.6 × 11.4 in) of travel.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Spindle listed at 60,000 rpm for very small cutters
- Linear motor drives on all linear axes, with acceleration above 2G
- 5-axis table with an A axis range of -15° to +130° and a C axis that rotates 360° continuously
- Pallet system (PH 10/100) with up to 99 pallet places for unattended running
- Rigid table of 370x320 mm listed for 100 kg (220 lb), against 15 kg (33 lb) on the 5-axis table
Limitations
- 5-axis table load is only 15 kg (33 lb) on the Ø200 mm table, which the fixture and the part have to share
- Travels of 200 × 220 × 280 mm (7.9 × 8.7 × 11.0 in) and a 200 mm (7.9 in) workpiece diameter exclude anything but small parts
- HSK-E32 / HSK-E40 tapers restrict the machine to small-shank tooling; no spindle power or torque is listed
- Not in DMG MORI's current lineup, so the listed figures need confirming on the machine itself
- Pallets are limited to a handling weight of 10 kg each

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed workpiece limit is 200 mm (7.9 in) in diameter and 200 mm (7.9 in) in height, inside travels of 200 mm (7.9 in) in X, 220 mm (8.7 in) in Y and 280 mm (11.0 in) in Z. The Ø200 mm 5-axis table is listed for 15 kg (33 lb) and the 370x320 mm rigid table for 100 kg (220 lb).
02
The listed maximum spindle speed is 60,000 rpm, with HSK-E32 / HSK-E40 as the spindle taper. Those are small interfaces meant for small tools at high speed. Power and torque are not among the listed figures, so establish the spindle fitted to a particular machine and its condition before buying.
03
A pallet system, shown as PH 10/100, with up to 99 pallet places and a maximum handling weight of 10 kg per pallet. With parts this small, that is enough stock for long unattended runs. Whether a given used machine includes the pallet handling has to be checked, since the listed figures describe what was available.
04
It is not in DMG MORI's current lineup. The nearest sibling by size is the DMU 20 Linear, listed with 220 × 370 × 290 mm (8.7 × 14.6 × 11.4 in) of travel, and the HSC 55 linear is the larger high-speed model at 450 × 650 × 460 mm (17.7 × 25.6 × 18.1 in).
