How much does the DMS Teton5 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the DMS Teton5 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 DMS Teton5 is a fixed-gantry 5-axis machine: the bridge stays put and the table carries the work beneath it. DMS offers it with a single table or with twin tables for pendulum processing, and lists strokes of 5 ft to 12 ft on both X and Y with 36 in or 48 in (914 or 1,219 mm) of Z.
A fixed gantry is the stiffer way to carry a long Z ram, since the columns do not have to travel, and DMS makes that argument itself for what it calls High-Z applications. The cost is floor length, because a moving table needs room to run out on both sides of the bridge.
With twin tables, one part is trimmed while the previous one is unloaded and the next is fixtured, which keeps the head cutting through load time. Twin table sizes are 5 ft x 5 ft, 5 ft x 10 ft, 5 ft x 12 ft and 6 ft x 5 ft; single tables go up to 6 ft x 12 ft. The carousel tool changer backs up that production use with 12 / 24 tools.
Motion is by spinning ball nut and recirculating ball screw, with scales available as an option, and average speed across the three linear axes is 1,333 in/min (33.9 m/min). Spindle power is moderate, 8-13 kW to a 13 kW maximum at 24,000 rpm, on the Tilt K Plus, Tilt H Plus, DMS Standard Yoke or DMS Cast Yokes. B is 115° or 130°; C is 363° each way on a DMS head, optionally continuous, or 320° on a Hiteco head. HMI and NC are Fagor.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Fixed gantry, which DMS specifies for rigidity in High-Z applications
- Twin tables for pendulum processing, with single tables up to 6 ft x 12 ft
- Carousel tool changer listed at 12 / 24 tools
- Spinning ball nut and recirculating ball screw transmission with scales available as an option
- Z stroke of 36 in or 48 in (914 or 1,219 mm) on a 12 ft class machine
Limitations
- Maximum spindle power is 13 kW, against 20 kW on the Glacier5 and Redwood5
- Only four head units are listed; the Tilt V and Tilt W offered on the Glacier5 are not
- Strokes end at 12 ft on X and Y
- A moving table needs clear floor on both sides of the fixed bridge

Frequently Asked Questions
01
With the twin table configuration the machine works on one table while the other is outside the cutting area for unloading and loading, then swaps. DMS says this allows continuous operation and minimized downtime, and positions it for high-volume production where machine utilization matters.
02
DMS states that the fixed gantry gives rigidity in High-Z applications. The bridge does not travel, so the Z stroke of 36 in or 48 in (914 or 1,219 mm) is carried by a stationary structure while the table moves the part.
03
Single tables are listed as 5 ft x 5 ft, 5 ft x 10 ft, 10 ft x 5 ft, 5 ft x 12 ft, 12 ft x 5 ft and 6 ft x 12 ft. Twin tables are 5 ft x 5 ft, 5 ft x 10 ft, 5 ft x 12 ft and 6 ft x 5 ft. X and Y strokes both range from 5 ft to 12 ft.
04
The head units are the Tilt K Plus, Tilt H Plus, DMS Standard Yoke and DMS Cast Yokes, with spindles of 8-13 kW and a maximum speed of 24,000 rpm. B is (+/-) 115° / 130°. C is (+/-) 363° on a DMS head, with continuous rotation optional, or (+/-) 320° on a Hiteco head.
