Our best estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class — not a quote from DMG Mori. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The DMG MORI HSC 70 linear is a high-speed machining center listed with linear motors in X, Y and Z, 750 / 600 / 450 mm of travel and a 42,000 rpm spindle on an HSK-E40 taper. It does not appear in DMG MORI's current lineup and may be an older model. Treat the figures below as listed figures and confirm them from the documentation of the machine itself.

Everything in the listed spindle data points at finishing with small tools. 42,000 rpm with 25 kW and 20 Nm on HSK-E40 gives the surface speed that cutters of a few millimetres need, and very little torque for anything large. Roughing with big cutters belongs on another machine, or the job has to be planned around small tools from the start.

The axes match that purpose. Linear motors drive all three, with a listed rapid traverse of 90 m/min and an acceleration of 1 g. In mould and electrode finishing the moves are short and change direction constantly, so acceleration and the absence of a ball screw to reverse matter more than the rapid figure. Positioning accuracy to ISO 230-2 is listed at 0.003 mm.

The table measures 850 × 650 mm, larger than the 750 / 600 mm of X and Y travel, and carries 600 kg. Machine weight is listed as approx. 11,500 kg, so most of the mass is structure and little of it is payload. The magazine holds 30 tools, with 60 as an option, and the control is given as Siemens SINUMERIK ONE with DMG Mori CELOS.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Linear motors in X, Y and Z with a listed rapid traverse of 90 m/min and 1 g acceleration
42,000 rpm spindle on HSK-E40, listed at 25 kW
Positioning accuracy listed at 0.003 mm to ISO 230-2
30-tool magazine, with 60 tools listed as an option
850 × 650 mm table carrying 600 kg on a machine listed at approx. 11,500 kg

Limitations

Spindle torque is listed at 20 Nm, which rules out roughing with large cutters
HSK-E40 is a small tool interface, so cutter diameter and length are restricted
Not in DMG MORI's current lineup; the listed figures have to be confirmed on the individual machine
Z travel of 450 mm limits tall workpieces once tool length is taken off

Best For

Finishing of moulds and dies with small cutters at up to 42,000 rpm Electrodes and fine-detail parts within 750 / 600 / 450 mm of travel Contour work with constant direction changes, where linear motors and 1 g acceleration count Workpieces and fixtures up to 600 kg on the 850 × 650 mm table

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What spindle does the HSC 70 linear have?

The listed spindle runs to 42,000 rpm with 25 kW and 20 Nm, on an HSK-E40 taper. That is a finishing spindle for small-diameter tools. The 20 Nm torque figure, and the size of the HSK-E40 interface, are what stop it from driving large roughing cutters.

02 Why does the HSC 70 linear use linear motors?

The listed drive system is linear motors in X, Y and Z, with 90 m/min rapid traverse and 1 g acceleration. A linear motor moves the slide directly, with no ball screw to wind up or reverse, which helps a machine follow a finely stepped finishing toolpath at speed. On an existing machine, ask for the service history of the linear motors.

03 How large a workpiece can the HSC 70 linear take?

Travels are listed as 750 / 600 / 450 mm in X / Y / Z, the table as 850 × 650 mm and the maximum table load as 600 kg. The table is larger than the X and Y travels, so a part can overhang the reach of the spindle. Tool length comes out of the 450 mm of Z.

04 Is the HSC 70 linear a current DMG MORI model?

No. It is not in DMG MORI's current lineup and may be an older model. The listed figures on this page, including the SINUMERIK ONE control with CELOS and the 30-tool magazine with 60 as an option, should be checked against the configuration of the specific machine.

05 How does the HSC 70 linear compare in travel with the NVD 6000 DCG?

The NVD 6000 DCG has 900 mm (35.4 in) of X, 600 mm (23.6 in) of Y and 450 mm (17.7 in) of Z travel. The HSC 70 linear is listed with 750 / 600 / 450 mm, so Y and Z match and X is shorter.
