Overview

The DMG MORI MULTISPRINT 36 is a multi-spindle production turning machine for bar up to 36 mm (1.4 in). The working envelope at each position is small: 50 mm (2 in) of X travel, 100 mm (3.9 in) of Y travel and 170 mm (6.7 in) of Z travel, for workpieces up to 36 mm (1.4 in) in diameter and 170 mm (6.7 in) long. It is a machine for small parts made in large numbers.

What sets it apart is that chuck machining and Swiss-type long turning share one concept. Clamping can be changed between a collet for short workpieces, a guide bush for long workpieces and a 3-jaws chuck for raw part machining, with a hydraulic cylinder as the standard actuation for all clamping systems. DMG MORI states that raw parts up to 2 in. can be machined without restrictions, which is larger than the 1.4 in. bar size, so forged or cast blanks are within its scope as well as bar.

Tooling is built from modular radial slides. The machine carries up to 28 tools, 24 of which can be driven, and a tool cartridge system with a modular gear box lets each position be set up for its operation. Driven tool spindles reach up to 13,800 rpm with up to 4.3 ft lb and 1.2 hp (nominal). Those are figures for small drills, taps and end mills, which is what a part of this size needs. Driven tools and Y-axis machining are available in all positions.

The main spindles have water-cooled direct drive torque motors and run at up to 7,500 rpm. Workpiece handling can use up to two robots and up to two counter spindles, the latter for machining the cut-off side. The control is a FANUC 30i. DMG MORI's Highlights do not state how many main spindles the machine has, so confirm the spindle count and the slide layout when configuring it.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Up to 28 tools, 24 of which can be driven
Driven tool spindles up to 13,800 rpm for small drills and end mills
Chuck machining and a Swiss-type kit for long turning in one machine concept
Main spindles with water-cooled direct drive torque motors, up to 7,500 rpm
Driven tools and Y-axis machining in all positions, with 100 mm (3.9 in) of Y travel
Workpiece handling with up to two robots and up to two counter spindles

Limitations

Bar capacity is 36 mm (1.4 in); raw parts up to 2 in. have to be loaded as blanks
Driven tools are light: up to 4.3 ft lb and 1.2 hp (nominal)
Travels are short, 50 mm (2 in) in X and 170 mm (6.7 in) in Z, so the part family has to be small
DMG MORI's Highlights state neither the number of main spindles nor their power

Best For

High-volume bar parts up to 36 mm (1.4 in) in diameter Long, slender parts turned through the guide bush of the Swiss-type kit Small parts with cross holes and milled features from driven tools at up to 13,800 rpm Chucked raw parts up to 2 in. using the 3-jaws chuck

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What bar and part sizes does the MULTISPRINT 36 take?

Bar up to 36 mm (1.4 in), with a maximum workpiece length of 170 mm (6.7 in). DMG MORI also states that raw parts up to 2 in. can be machined without restrictions, using the 3-jaws chuck. Travels are 50 mm (2 in) in X, 100 mm (3.9 in) in Y and 170 mm (6.7 in) in Z.

02 Can the MULTISPRINT 36 do Swiss-type long turning?

Yes. DMG MORI describes chuck machining and a Swiss-type kit for long turning in one concept. The clamping can be changed between a collet for short workpieces, a guide bush for long workpieces and a 3-jaws chuck for raw part machining. A hydraulic cylinder is the standard solution and suits all clamping systems.

03 How many tools does the MULTISPRINT 36 carry?

Up to 28 tools, 24 of which can be driven. They sit on modular radial slides, and a tool cartridge system with a modular gear box lets each position be configured. Driven tool spindles run at up to 13,800 rpm with up to 4.3 ft lb and 1.2 hp (nominal).

04 How fast are the main spindles of the MULTISPRINT 36?

Up to 7,500 rpm. The main spindles are driven by water-cooled direct drive torque motors. DMG MORI's Highlights give no power or torque figure for them and do not state how many there are, so ask for both when requesting a quotation.

05 Which control does the MULTISPRINT 36 use?

A FANUC 30i. The Highlights also list fast changeover between machine configurations, which matters on a machine that can be set up with collets, a guide bush or a 3-jaws chuck.
