Dynamic CNC universal miller ups
productivity
Able to accommodate a wide variety of 5-sided machining and 5-axes simultaneous contouring applications, a universal miller has dynamic linear axes drives with 1G acceleration.
The first model in the DMU 50V Series was unveiled in 1995 and by 1999, 600 units had been installed worldwide The popularity of this universal milling machine has never wavered with successive generations and with the introduction of the latest model, DMG is again aiming to meet the needs of a wide manufacturing community

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.
The new DMU 50 eVo linear is a highly productive machine, able to accommodate a wide variety of 5-sided machining and 5-axes simultaneous contouring applications.
Despite a smaller footprint than its predecessor this new machine has longer X and Y axes, 450mm and 400mm respectively.
It also boasts greater stability and rigidity.
As the suffix suggests, the 500mm X-axis is equipped with a dynamic linear drive that accelerates at 1G achieving rapid traverses up to 80m/min.
This represents an increase of 60% on the previous design, promising higher productivity and positioning accuracy.
The NC rotary table with 50 rev/min C-axis and 40 rev/min B-axis allows flexible 5-axis machining.
Its larger swivel range of 108 deg allows undercuts of 18 deg.
The universal design of this machine is complemented by the option to fit a 120-tool magazine as an alternative to the 30- and 60-station magazines whose double gripper reduces chip-to-chip times to less than 5 seconds.
The customer can choose from a range of spindle options - 12,000, 24,000 and the high-speed 42,000 rev/min - and controls, Heidenhain iTNC 530, Siemens 840D powerline or MillPlus IT.
All feature the ergonomic DMG ControlPanel with large 15in TFT screen and 3D software.
Special packages, for machining aluminium or graphite for example, are also available.
