DMG Mori i 30 V

The DMG MORI i 30 V is a narrow vertical machining center with 400 × 270 × 280 mm (15.7 × 10.6 × 11 in) of travel, a rapid traverse rate of 2,440.9 ipm and a machine width of 61.3 in. It takes workpieces up to 600 mm (23.6 in) long, 300 mm (11.8 in) wide and 520 mm (20.5 in) high, weighing up to 150 kg (330.7 lb).

The shape of the machine says how it is meant to be used. DMG MORI gives the size as 61.3 × 128.9 × 104.3 in. (width × depth × height), about twice as deep as it is wide. Machines of that shape stand side by side in a row, which is how a line of identical spindles is laid out. Mass is 10,846 lb., which DMG MORI describes as approx. 20% down compared with its conventional machine.

The permitted workpiece is larger than the travels in every direction: 600 mm of length against 400 mm of X, 300 mm of width against 270 mm of Y, and 520 mm of height against 280 mm of Z. Those limits describe what fits inside the enclosure, so a long part or a tall fixture can be loaded, but only the section within the travels is machined in one clamping. Workpiece weight is limited to 150 kg (330.7 lb), and it is worth asking whether that figure includes the fixture.

Rapid traverse is 2,440.9 ipm, which DMG MORI gives as approx. 30% up on the conventional machine. On travels this short the axes are seldom at full rapid for long, so the gain shows mainly on parts with many positioning moves. The tool changer is an armless type, chosen because it has fewer components, and the roller guides are arranged with no overhang. DMG MORI's page states no spindle speed, power, taper or tool count for this model, so those have to come from the quotation.
