5-axis machining centre offers easy access

The -5 / +110 degree swivelling rotary table has an 800 x 700 mm work surface that allows undercuts of up to 20 degrees. Rapid traverse speed is an impressive 60 rpm for the B- and C-axes with a load of 600 kg. The machine is ideal for highly productive 5-sided machining and simultaneous 5-axis profiling of relatively heavy, complex components, such as in the mould making and aerospace sectors.

A version of the DMU 80 eVo is planned that includes an automatic pallet changer with an APC time of 10 seconds; and a high-revolution torque table to integrate milling and turning into the machining cycles.

To increase productivity further, a dynamics package with linear instead of ballscrew drives for the X- and Y-axes can be specified, bringing rapid traverse speed up from 50 to 80 m/min.

Fast tool exchange from the 30-station (optionally up to 120-station) magazine using a double gripper ensures short chip-to-chip times of less than 5 seconds. Instead of the standard 19 kW / 14,000 rpm spindle, 18,000 or 24,000 rpm may be specified. All spindles can be supplied with SK40 (BT40) or HSK A63 interfaces.

Control is by the DMG ERGOline, including a 19“ screen and 3D software. Programming and process performance is supported by either the Siemens 840D solutionline with ShopMill or Heidenhain iTNC530
