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

Tool capacity and automation readiness are what DMG MORI stresses most on the DMU 60 evo, a 5-axis machining center with 750 mm (29.5 in) of X travel and 550 mm (21.7 in) each of Y and Z. The magazine range goes up to 300 tools, tools can be set up while the machine is cutting, and the machine is prepared so that automation can be added afterwards.

For a shop planning unattended shifts those points belong together. A large magazine keeps sister tools and the tooling for several part families loaded at once. Setting up in parallel to machining time means the spindle does not wait for the operator. DMG MORI states an installation area of only 9 m² with 30, 60 or 120 tools; the listed data does not say what the larger magazines add to that. A universal automation table top is listed with 35 mm additional installation height in the Z direction, a detail to raise with whoever supplies the pallets or clamping.

The work area holds a part up to 700 mm (27.6 in) in diameter and 550 mm (21.7 in) high. Maximum workpiece weight is 500 kg (1,102.3 lb), and on an automated machine that total has to cover the pallet and fixture too. Chips leave through a conveyor opening that DMG MORI describes as 60% larger, past covers made completely of stainless steel.

As standard the speedMASTER spindle delivers 20,000 rpm with 130 Nm, and options go up to 30,000 rpm or 200 Nm. Chip-to-chip time is 4.5 seconds. Axis speed is 50 m/min in the basic version and up to 80 m/min in the linear version. For long unattended runs the thermal design matters as well: the machine frame is decoupled and fully temperature-controlled, and the bed is a single piece of mineral casting.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Magazine range up to 300 tools, with set-up parallel to machining time
Prepared for automation, so a handling system can be added after installation
Installation area of only 9 m² with 30, 60 or 120 tools
Decoupled, fully temperature-controlled machine frame for long-term thermal stability
4.5 seconds chip-to-chip and up to 80 m/min in the linear version

Limitations

The 500 kg (1,102.3 lb) workpiece limit has to cover pallet and fixture as well as the part
The 9 m² installation area is stated for 30, 60 or 120 tools; the space needed for larger magazines up to 300 tools is not given
Speeds up to 30,000 rpm and torque up to 200 Nm are spindle options beyond the 20,000 rpm, 130 Nm standard
Y and Z travel are both 550 mm (21.7 in), no more than the 550 mm (21.7 in) maximum workpiece height

Best For

Unattended 5-axis production that needs many tools loaded, up to 300 Shops that plan to add automation later Part families up to 700 mm (27.6 in) in diameter and 550 mm (21.7 in) high Pallet and fixture loads that stay within 500 kg (1,102.3 lb) in total

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How many tools can the DMU 60 evo hold?

DMG MORI lists up to 300 tools, with set-up parallel to machining time. Magazines with 30, 60 or 120 tools fit within the stated installation area of 9 m². If you need more than 120, ask how the larger magazine changes the floor plan, because the listed data does not say.

02 Is the DMU 60 evo ready for automation?

DMG MORI describes it as ready for automation, with a flexible preparation that makes adding automation later much easier. A universal automation table top is listed with 35 mm additional installation height in the Z direction. The specific handling systems are not named in the listed data, so the interface details need to be agreed with DMG MORI.

03 What are the travels of the DMU 60 evo?

750 mm (29.5 in) in X, 550 mm (21.7 in) in Y and 550 mm (21.7 in) in Z. The maximum workpiece is 700 mm (27.6 in) in diameter, 550 mm (21.7 in) in height and 500 kg (1,102.3 lb).

04 What spindle speed and torque does the DMU 60 evo offer?

The standard speedMASTER spindle gives 20,000 rpm with 130 Nm. DMG MORI lists optional speedMASTER spindles up to 30,000 rpm or 200 Nm. Chip-to-chip time is 4.5 seconds, and axis speed is 50 m/min in the basic version or up to 80 m/min in the linear version.

05 How does the DMU 60 evo handle chips and heat on long runs?

The covers are completely stainless steel and the chip conveyor opening is 60% larger, according to DMG MORI. For heat, the machine frame is decoupled and fully temperature-controlled, and the single piece hybrid machine bed is made of mineral casting. DMG MORI quotes 4 µm in the double ballbar test.
