Universal CNC miller cuts job times by
30%
Universal CNC miller includes 3 or 5-axis machining with a spindle head having swivel in B-axis for negative angles from -30 deg to +120 deg and cuts job times by 30%.
Performance without limits - the highest degree of flexibility, at the same price The new DMU monoBLOCK machines, especially the EMO 2005 world premiere DMU 100 monoBLOCK, can be expanded in a modular fashion

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.
These expansion options include 3 or 5-axis machining with various spindle-options ranging from 10,000 to 42,000 rev/min., as well as a new spindle head with a large swivel range in the B-axis for negative angles from -30 deg to +120 deg.
In addition, the minimum distance between the horizontal spindle and the table surface has been reduced to 188 mm.
These efficient DMG innovations available for the full range of universal machining, including high-speed applications, while providing an increase in accessibility and ease-of-use.

With the global success of the duoBLOCK machines, Deckel Maho is now expanding with the new DMU monoBLOCK Series, which will become the successors of the celebrated DMU T Series.
Considering the reduction in space requirements alone, it is obvious that the development goes far beyond a simple face-lift.
The new monoBLOCK machines are up to 25% more compact than their predecessors.
As convincing as this feature may be, productivity, flexibility and process safety have been greatly improved (especially due to the new scraper belt conveyor available in the standard configuration).
The new DMU monoBLOCK Series now covers the entire spectrum of milling technology, with the 3-axis version with a fixed table and manually swiveling milling head, up to the highest expansion level with a B-axis and NC-rotary table for 5-sided/5-axis machining.
At the center of all of the improvements is the increased acceleration values in the linear axes (up 100% increase), the 25% chip-to-chip time reduction and the up to 200% faster rotary axes in the 5-axis version, all of this with an increased table load.
The new DMU 60 monoBLOCK fixed table version now features a table load of 700 kg (previously 500 kg), and 500 kg (previously 350 kg) in the expanded NC-rotary table option Now the new 5-axis version has a much larger B-axis swivel range, a total of 150 deg (previously 103 deg), which allows the machining of negative angles up to 30 deg.
Combined with the reduction of the minimum distance between the horizontal spindle and table surface by 150mm.
to now only 188mm., this expands the production potential of the DMU monoBLOCK Series.
This expansion is apparent especially in sectors for 5-axis machining applications like tool, mould and model making.
Tests with representative customer workpieces have shown a time savings of up to 30%.
Both the 3-axis and the 5-axis version feature the monoBLOCK design, which offers excellent conditions for optimal ergonomics and fast set-up times.
Opening the rotating door gives access to the entire work area.
Maintenance has been equally well thought-out.
The innovative design of the insertion motor-spindle now allows a complete exchange in only 10h, rather than 16h like previous model.
