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.
The gantry design DMU 340FD, with 3-point support for quick installation, can machine workpieces weighing up to 7,000kg in a single set-up, reducing cycle times and increasing precision.
This accuracy is enhanced by combined tool measurement for fixed and rotating tools via laser or probe.
This all-rounder is a fully functioning milling machine whose efficiency is in no way compromised by its turning capability.
Simultaneous 5-axis and 5-sided machining can be performed in the milling mode thanks to multiple main drives and a range of additional options designed to accommodate individual needs.
These options include a universal swivel milling head with driven B-axis and integrated motor spindle with 10,000 rev/min.
An A-axis alternative is also available with this model as is the 1,550Nm 5X torqueMASTER power spindle for heavy machining.
Dedicated safety packages for turning operations such as automatic balancing cycle or a special cabin design with reinforced safety glass complete the choices to provide tailored production solutions.
The standard version of the machine provides a set-up area with concentric adjustment and a powered rotary pallet.
A rotary magazine with three additional pallets is optionally available.
The powerful 40Kw DirectDrive milling-turning table, with rotational speeds up to 120 rev/min, a torque of up to 15,000Nm and holding torque of 15,000Nm, allows a previously unattainable range of horizontal and vertical mill-turn operations to be accomplished.
The rotating features of the DMU 340FD make it particularly valuable for the production of heavy and bulky parts.
A choice of three control options is available with the DMU 340FD, the Heidenhain iTNC530, MillPlus IT or the Siemens 840D powerline.
All three easy-to-use, Windows-based CNC-controls provide substantial storage capacity, extremely fast processors, 15in TFT screens and supporting 3D software.
They are also enable direct Ethernet or Internet access to external networks such as DMG Netservice.
