Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from DMG Mori. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The DMG MORI ULTRASONIC 85 is a monoBLOCK 5-axis machine with ultrasonic integration and a workpiece limit that belongs to crane work: 1,040 mm (40.9 in) in diameter, 590 mm (23.2 in) in height and 1,500 kg (3,306.9 lb). Travels are 935 mm (36.8 in) in X, 850 mm (33.5 in) in Y and 650 mm (25.6 in) in Z.

A part of that weight arrives on a hook, and DMG MORI's Highlights address it directly: unrestricted crane loading of up to 3,306 lb, on a machine with a stated footprint of only 129.2 ft². The same figure of up to 3,306 lb is given for the 5-axis table. A second table solution is listed for complete machining with milling and turning, with up to 1,512 ft lb. Which table is fitted changes what the machine is, so it should be the first line settled in a quotation.

The frame is one casting with a one-piece column, 2.2 in. roller guideways in all axes and clamping of the swivelling rotary table. Cooling measures, a high-performance coolant unit and multi-sensor compensation are standard, and an optional precision package is listed with 15 % higher precision. Installation is on a three-point support.

DMG MORI describes the spindle range by its two ends: up to 30,000 rpm, or up to 317.2 ft lb. These are different spindles, and no single spindle is stated to deliver both. Tool magazines are integrated into the machine, with up to 180 pockets.

Ultrasonic integration is through the HSK-A63 interface with amplitudes up to 15 µm, and DMG MORI lists coolant treatment with centrifuges for Advanced Materials. The ULTRASONIC 65 is the smaller alternative, at 735 mm (28.9 in), 650 mm (25.6 in) and 560 mm (22 in) of travel.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Workpieces up to 1,500 kg (3,306.9 lb), with unrestricted crane loading of up to 3,306 lb
Stated footprint of only 129.2 ft² for a machine with 935 mm (36.8 in) of X travel
Spindle range with up to 30,000 rpm or with up to 317.2 ft lb
Machine-integrated tool magazines with up to 180 pockets
2.2 in. roller guideways in all axes on a one-piece column
Cooling measures, a high-performance coolant unit and multi-sensor compensation as standard

Limitations

Ultrasonic integration is listed for the HSK-A63 interface only
Up to 30,000 rpm and up to 317.2 ft lb are opposite ends of the spindle range, not one spindle
Maximum workpiece height of 590 mm (23.2 in) is modest next to the 1,040 mm (40.9 in) diameter
The 15 % higher precision requires the optional precision package
Only the maximum of 180 pockets is stated; the size of the standard tool magazine is not

Best For

Crane-loaded parts up to 1,500 kg (3,306.9 lb) Large-diameter workpieces up to 1,040 mm (40.9 in) across Ultrasonic machining of Advanced Materials with centrifuge coolant treatment Combined milling and turning on the table with up to 1,512 ft lb Jobs with long tool lists, using magazines of up to 180 pockets

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How heavy a part can the ULTRASONIC 85 take, and how is it loaded?

The maximum workpiece weight is 1,500 kg (3,306.9 lb), for parts up to 1,040 mm (40.9 in) in diameter and 590 mm (23.2 in) high. DMG MORI states unrestricted crane loading of up to 3,306 lb, so a part at the full capacity of the 5-axis table can be set down by crane.

02 What spindles does DMG MORI list for the ULTRASONIC 85?

The Highlights give a range, not a single rating: up to 30,000 rpm, or up to 317.2 ft lb. A high-speed spindle and a high-torque spindle sit at opposite ends of that range. The standard spindle is not named, so request speed, power and torque for the spindle on the quotation.

03 Can the ULTRASONIC 85 do turning?

DMG MORI lists several table solutions. One is for 5-axis machining with up to 3,306 lb. The other is for complete machining with milling and turning, with up to 1,512 ft lb. Turning therefore depends on ordering the mill-turn table, and the choice should be made before anything else is specified.

04 How much floor space does the ULTRASONIC 85 need?

The footprint is stated as only 129.2 ft². The machine stands on a three-point support, which DMG MORI says makes it quick and easy to set up. Room for the crane approach, the coolant treatment equipment and any automation has to be added to that figure when the cell is laid out.

05 What ultrasonic interface and amplitude does the ULTRASONIC 85 use?

Integration is via the HSK-A63 interface, with ultrasonic superimposition of the tool rotation at amplitudes up to 15 µm. DMG MORI states that process forces are reduced by up to 50%, enabling higher feed rates, surface quality up to Ra <0.1 µm and longer tool life, depending on requirements. ULTRASONIC 3rd Generation is fully compatible with the 2nd generation actuator.
