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 50|5 is a twin-spindle automatic lathe that passes 50 mm (2 in) bar through the spindle yet turns workpieces up to 140 mm (5.5 in) in diameter. That gap between bar size and workpiece size is the point of the machine. DMG MORI lists it for both collet and chuck application, so bar-fed parts and larger chucked blanks run on one machine as long as they stay within 235 mm (9.3 in) of length.

Specifying one starts with the control, because the control decides the turret count. With FANUC the machine has 2 turrets. With SIEMENS it is offered as a 2 turrets twin concept, with 3 turrets, or with 3 turrets plus B-axis. A turret holds 12 VDI 25 tool stations with Trifix and any of them can be driven, which gives up to 36 tool stations. Axis count follows the same choice: up to 10 linear axes, 1 B-axis and 2 C-axes.

Main and counter spindle are identical on paper at 7,000 rpm, 55.3 ft lb and 21.5 hp (nominal), and both are water-cooled. A driven station gives up to 8,000 rpm, 7.4 ft lb and 2 hp (nominal). Set against a 140 mm (5.5 in) chucked part those live-tool figures are small, so plan milling on the larger workpieces as light work such as bolt-circle drilling, keyways and narrow flats.

Travel is 165 mm (6.5 in) in X, 70 mm (2.8 in) in Y and 235 mm (9.3 in) in Z, the same figures DMG MORI gives for the SPRINT 50. For longer workpieces DMG MORI points to its TWIN design, stated as patented, in which two turrets machine the part. The bed stands vertical on a 3-point support, so chips drop clear of the cutting zone.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

50 mm (2 in) bar capacity combined with a 140 mm (5.5 in) maximum workpiece diameter, for collet and chuck application
Counter spindle matches the main spindle: 7,000 rpm, 55.3 ft lb, 21.5 hp (nominal)
Every one of the 12 VDI 25 tool stations on a turret can be driven
Configurations run up to 10 linear axes, 1 B-axis and 2 C-axes
Thermostable machine bed on a 3-point support, with free chip fall from the vertical bed

Limitations

Live tooling tops out at 7.4 ft lb and 2 hp (nominal), light for a part of 140 mm (5.5 in) diameter
Choosing FANUC fixes the machine at 2 turrets
The B-axis is tied to the SIEMENS version with 3 turrets
Workpiece length and Z travel both end at 235 mm (9.3 in)

Best For

Shops that run both bar-fed parts and chucked blanks on one lathe Chucked workpieces up to 140 mm (5.5 in) in diameter and 235 mm (9.3 in) long Two-sided turning where the counter spindle needs full power High tool counts: up to 36 tool stations across the turrets

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Can the SPRINT 50|5 run chuck work as well as bar?

Yes. DMG MORI describes it as automatic turning with both collet and chuck application. Bar capacity is 50 mm (2 in), while the maximum workpiece diameter is 140 mm (5.5 in) and the maximum workpiece length is 235 mm (9.3 in).

02 How many axes can the SPRINT 50|5 have?

Up to 10 linear axes, 1 B-axis and 2 C-axes. The number depends on the configuration: the FANUC model is 2 turrets, and the SIEMENS models are the 2 turrets twin concept, 3 turrets, and 3 turrets plus B-axis.

03 Is the B-axis standard on the SPRINT 50|5?

No. Among the configurations DMG MORI lists, only the SIEMENS model with 3 turrets plus B-axis has one. The B-axis uses a torque motor and a direct measuring system. The FANUC model is 2 turrets.

04 What is the TWIN design on the SPRINT 50|5?

DMG MORI describes it as machining of longer workpieces with two turrets, and states that the design is patented. Among the SIEMENS models it appears as the 2 turrets twin concept. Maximum workpiece length for the machine is 235 mm (9.3 in).

05 How does the SPRINT 50|5 compare in travel with the SPRINT 32|5?

The SPRINT 50|5 has 165 mm (6.5 in) of X, 70 mm (2.8 in) of Y and 235 mm (9.3 in) of Z. The SPRINT 32|5 is listed with 70 mm (2.8 in) of X, 405 mm (15.9 in) of Y and 100 mm (3.9 in) of Z, a different layout for smaller bar.
