VMC offers fast tool change and fast
axis travels
Vertical machining centre features a high speed tool-changer with a chip-to-chip tool changing time of 1.8 seconds and axis acceleration of 1G for productive machining.
The DMP 60 V linear vertical machining centre by Deckel Maho features a high speed tool-changer with a chip-to-chip tool changing time of 1.8 seconds Linear drive in the x-axis with up to 80m/min rapid traverse, 1G of acceleration in the X, Y, and Z axis, as well as chip-to-chip times of only 1.8 seconds - these features provide the conditions for highly productive part-output in the sector of small and medium size work pieces

Dies milled dry at high speeds
The new DMC 65 V vertical machining centre applies high-speed cutting, dry machining and universal application in die making and series production with high dynamics and precision.
CNC miller-drillers cut 20% off machining times
With the highly productive DMU 50 / 70 eVolution, DMG has added a new dimension to universal milling and drilling machines designed to save up to 20% on machining times.
However, the world novelty from Seebach, Germany can do even more.
The integrated motor spindle, with 18,000 rpm at 25kW and a torque of 130Nm, guarantees powerful milling capacity, high chip removal volumes, while consistently maintaining excellent contour accuracy.
The perfect combination of both high productivity and universality make the DMP 60 V linear a unique offer from the very start.

The lathe programme run by the GILDEMEISTER group has now become so extensive that there really is no machining job any more that these machines cannot do.
Conventional lathe has digital drives
The world innovation - the NEF 320 K - a conventional lathe with navigator system rounds off successful NEF product line.
The clincher of the new DMP 60 V linear lies in its new, tool-changer, which leads to the above-mentioned impressive chip-to-chip times of 1.8 seconds.
The 'secret of its success' can be found in the modified double-gripper design, in which turning- and lifting motions are synchronized, and thus occur in time-optimized fashion.
Furthermore, with the lifting of the tool out of the spindle a link is established between the tool-changer and the motor-spindle's main drive so that the CNC can adjust the dynamics of the sequence according to the weight of the individual tool.
Also noteworthy: the 25-station tool magazine is in "contact" with the work area only during tool changes, and is otherwise completely isolated from the process, leading to a maximum in operational safety.
The DMP 60 V linear is designed as a traversing column machine so that all three axes are located within the tool.
All components have been designed and dimensioned with FEM-support (Finite Element Modeling) for optimal stability.
This is also true for the change-over table, where a new part is loaded parallel to production time and then exchanged for a completed part in only three seconds.
It needs not be mentioned here that the CNC parts-apparatus can of course be deployed as a fourth axis.
The new vertical machining centre is controlled by the most recent Siemens powerline generation, which comfortably leads the operator through the process in simple and well laid-out menu windows; the machine is also ready for a connection to DMG Netservice or superordinated company networks.
The DMP 60 V linear is another milestone for Deckel Maho Seebach, after the slanted-bed machining center DMP 60 linear and the traversing column centers of the DMF series, on the road to raising the well-established sector of small- and medium size universal machines to a broader and even more successful level with new, pioneering universal machines.
