How much does the DMG Mori SPRINT 42|10 linear cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a swiss-type lathe in this class — not a quote from DMG Mori. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The DMG MORI SPRINT 42|10 linear is an automatic lathe for bar up to 42 mm (1.7 in) and workpieces up to 320 mm (12.6 in) long, built with 8 linear axes, 2 C-axes and 3 control channels. Its 30 tool stations include a turret with 16 stations, and up to 22 tools in total can be driven.
The word linear in the name refers to the drives. X1 and X3 are moved by linear drives with 1 g of acceleration. On a bar automatic the X slides make short, frequent strokes (approach, cut, retract), so their acceleration shapes the cycle more than their top speed does. DMG MORI ties the linear drives to accuracy as well as to dynamics.
Three control channels on the FANUC 310i let up to 3 tools work simultaneously. That is the practical difference a third channel makes: main spindle, counter spindle and one more carrier can each run their own program section at once. The operator works at a DMG MORI SLIMline panel with a 15" screen, and a Tool Monitoring System with graphical tool load display can be added as an option.
The main spindle is rated 6,500 rpm, 27.7 ft lb and 7.4 hp (nominal), and the counter spindle 6,500 rpm, 14.5 ft lb and 5 hp (nominal), both with integrated motors and direct measuring systems. Driven tool spindles run at 5,000 rpm with 1.6 ft lb and 0.7 hp (nominal). Those driven-tool figures are small for a 42 mm machine: plan milling passes accordingly, and keep heavy stock removal for the turning tools.
Travels are listed as 50 mm (2 in) in X, 350 mm (13.8 in) in Y and 120 mm (4.7 in) in Z, the same as on the SPRINT 42 linear. The SWISSTYPEkit is optional and puts short and long part turning on the one machine.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Linear drive in X1 and X3 with 1 g acceleration, for the short, frequent strokes of bar work
- 30 tool stations including a 16-station turret, with up to 22 driven tools in total
- 3 control channels on a FANUC 310i, with up to 3 tools working simultaneously
- Main spindle of 6,500 rpm, 27.7 ft lb and 7.4 hp (nominal) for 42 mm (1.7 in) bar
- 8 linear axes and 2 C-axes, with a counter spindle rated 14.5 ft lb and 5 hp (nominal)
- SWISSTYPEkit available as an option for short and long part turning
Limitations
- Driven tool spindles are rated 1.6 ft lb and 0.7 hp (nominal) at 5,000 rpm, light for milling on 42 mm (1.7 in) stock
- Counter spindle torque is 14.5 ft lb against 27.7 ft lb on the main spindle, so heavy cuts stay on the main side
- Spindle speed stops at 6,500 rpm, which limits cutting speed on small diameters
- SWISSTYPEkit and Tool Monitoring System are options

Frequently Asked Questions
01
It refers to the axis drives. DMG MORI lists a linear drive in X1 and X3 with 1 g acceleration, and connects it with fast dynamics and accuracy. The other axes are not described as linear-driven in the Highlights.
02
A total of 30 tool stations. That includes a turret with 16 stations, and up to 22 tools in total can be driven. Driven tool spindles are rated 5,000 rpm, 1.6 ft lb and 0.7 hp (nominal).
03
Main spindle: 6,500 rpm, 27.7 ft lb and 7.4 hp (nominal). Counter spindle: 6,500 rpm, 14.5 ft lb and 5 hp (nominal). Both have integrated spindle motors and direct measuring systems, and bar capacity is 42 mm (1.7 in).
04
Up to 3 tools can work simultaneously. The FANUC 310i control has 3 control channels for 8 linear axes and 2 C-axes, and is operated from a DMG MORI SLIMline panel with a 15" screen.
05
No. The SPRINT 42 linear lists the same travels of 50 mm (2 in) in X, 350 mm (13.8 in) in Y and 120 mm (4.7 in) in Z. The SPRINT 42|10 linear is set apart by its 8 linear axes, 3 control channels, 30 tool stations and linear drives in both X1 and X3.
