How much does the DMG Mori LASERTEC 100 PowerDrill cost?

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the DMG Mori LASERTEC 100 PowerDrill that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.

Overview

The DMG MORI LASERTEC 100 PowerDrill is a 5-axis laser drilling machine for large turbine components: DMG MORI states a component diameter of up to 1,100 mm and a maximum height of 1,500 mm. Y and Z travel are each 1,000 mm (39.4 in). The work it is built for is cooling air holes in aerospace and IGT (industrial gas turbine) parts.

The structure is a traveling column, which DMG MORI says keeps rigidity constant over the entire work area. X and Y have linear drives rated at 80 m/min and 7 m/s², and the cooling concept covers water-cooled motors, linear guides and the ball screw drive. On a part more than a metre across, the moves between hole rows are long, so the rapid rate matters here in a way it does not on a small drilling machine.

The laser is a QCW-fibre source of 12-23 kW. Axis configuration is chosen for the application, from several laser head kinematics and table variants with B- / C-axis; a B-axis head with ± 150° of swivel is optional. The components DMG MORI lists include variable collimation, breakthrough detection, capacitive distance sensors and a conoscopic sensor, with a tool changer as an option.

Two drilling functions stand out. A high-speed shutter enables Synchro-Drill, where the laser fires in step with a rotating component, and PatternDrilling covers segments or single rows. The series runs on Siemens 840D solutionline with LASERSOFT software packages, and comes as PowerDrill for pure laser drilling or as PowerShape for shaped holes with conical exit funnels.

One point to settle early: the series is built in two lengths, the LASERTEC 100 PowerDrill and the LASERTEC 160 PowerDrill, which differ in X travel. Have the X travel of the quoted machine confirmed before designing a fixture around it.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Takes components up to 1,100 mm in diameter and 1,500 mm in height
Linear drives in X and Y rated at 80 m/min and 7 m/s²
QCW-fibre laser of 12-23 kW
Synchro-Drill: laser drilling synchronised with a rotating component by a high-speed shutter
Traveling column design with water-cooled motors, linear guides and ball screw drive
Breakthrough detection, capacitive distance sensors and a conoscopic sensor among the listed components

Limitations

The B-axis laser head with ± 150° of swivel is an option, as is the tool changer
The PowerDrill version is for pure laser drilling; shaped holes with conical exit funnels call for the PowerShape version
DMG MORI's page is not consistent about the X travel of this model, so it has to be confirmed in the quotation
Linear drives are stated for X and Y only

Best For

Cooling air holes in large aerospace and IGT components Parts up to 1,100 mm in diameter and 1,500 mm high Rotating components drilled with Synchro-Drill Hole patterns in segments or single rows with PatternDrilling

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How large a component fits the LASERTEC 100 PowerDrill?

DMG MORI states 5-axis drilling operations on components up to 1,100 mm in diameter with a maximum height of 1,500 mm. Y and Z travel are 1,000 mm (39.4 in) each. No component weight is given in DMG MORI's data for this model, so the table load has to be checked for heavy parts and fixtures.

02 What laser does the LASERTEC 100 PowerDrill use?

A high precision QCW-fibre laser of 12-23 kW. DMG MORI also mentions different laser sources for various applications, so the exact source is part of the configuration. Variable collimation and breakthrough detection are among the components listed with it.

03 What is the difference between PowerDrill and PowerShape?

They are two versions of the same series. PowerDrill is for pure laser drilling. PowerShape is for machining shaped hole geometries with conical exit funnels. Both run on Siemens 840D solutionline, each with its own LASERSOFT software package.

04 What is Synchro-Drill on the LASERTEC 100 PowerDrill?

Synchro-Drill is laser drilling synchronised with a rotating component, made possible by a high-speed shutter. The part keeps turning while the holes are drilled, which avoids stopping and positioning the rotary axis for every hole. PatternDrilling is the companion function for drilling segments or single rows.

05 Which axis configurations are available?

DMG MORI offers application-specific configurations: various laser head kinematics, including an optional B-axis head with ± 150° of swivel, and table variants with B- / C-axis. The linear drives in X and Y are rated at 80 m/min and 7 m/s². A tool changer is optional.
