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.
Its integrated motor spindle with 18,000 rev/min at 25kW and a torque of 130Nm guarantee powerful milling capacity and high chip removal rates whilst consistently maintaining excellent contour accuracy.
An important feature on the new DMP 60V linear is its new, tool changer that leads to the impressive chip-to-chip times.
The secret of its success is in its modified double-gripper design, which synchronises turning and lifting.
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.
The 25-station tool magazine is in contact with the work area only during tool change and is otherwise completely isolated from the process.
This ensures maximum operational safety.
The DMP 60V 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 for optimal stability.
This includes the change-over table, where a new part is loaded parallel to production time and then exchanged for completed part.
This process takes just three seconds.
Naturally the CNC parts apparatus can 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-structured menu windows.
The machine is also ready for connection to DMG Netservice or company networks.
