Although compact, this vertical machining centre offers a 12,000 rpm motor spindle, a 30-station tool magazine that can be loaded during a production cycle and a spiral chip conveyor.

The DMC64V linear is a new vertical machining centre from DMG (UK) that comes with an X-axis, a 12,000 rpm motor spindle, a tool magazine that can be equipped parallel to production time for 30 tools, a spiral chip conveyor and bed flushing mechanism in its standard configuration This new addition is therefore able to deliver unparalleled performance despite its compact frame

The linear drive in the X-axis, with accelerations of up to 0.5G and rapid traverses of 70m/min., guarantees high machining dynamics and ensures extremely short idle-times during pick-up tool changes, or chip-to-chip times, of only 5 seconds respectively.

These values are generally 30% quicker than those achievable with conventional drives.

With a work area of X - 640mm, Y - 600mm and Z - 500mm, the DMC64V has the capacity for a broad variety of machining operations.

Its advanced hardware is complemented by a choice of powerful control, the Siemens 810D powerline or Heidenhain iTNC 530.

A number of options are also available such as a motor-spindle with 8,000 rpm and 200Nm torque for higher performance milling.

An NC rotary table, coolant-through spindle option, drill breakage monitor - including tool length- and diameter measurement via laser - can also be specified.
