Mill-turn centres get faster programming
Latest turning and milling centres can be specified for even faster and easier shop-floor programming - up to 70% reduction in programming time in comparison to DIN.
The GMX 200S Series linear turning and milling centres from DMG are designed to provide the highest performance for 6-sided complete machining for standard workpieces up to 1185mm in length and 400mm diameter as well as for bar up to 102mm diameter Key features include an X-axis linear drive, a 6-channel machine bed, a 12,000 rev/min milling spindle with a long Y-axis and an interpolating B-axis

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.
Additional features absolute measuring systems and a 36-tool disc magazine.
Now both the GMX 200S and 250S linear machines can be specified for even faster and easier shop-floor programming - up to 70% reduction in programming time in comparison to DIN.
This introduction makes mill-turn programming as easy and reliable as that for a universal lathe.
When teamed with ShopTurn on Siemens 840D solutionline, the GMX 200S is fully equipped for graphic programming, simple cycle selection and uninterrupted programme monitoring on the shop-floor.
It also provides 3D workpiece simulation for all turning and milling operations extending to the B-axis contour.
This development turns the GMX 200S linear into a highly cost-effective machine for serial production as well as a flexible multi-purpose centre for smaller batches and jobbing work with no limit on geometric complexity.
The GMX 250 linear with its TurnPlus system on the Heidenhain Plus iT controller builds on this flexibility by providing dual channel control for the shop-floor.
It allows the milling/turning spindle and the turret to be programmed with simple dialogue via a menu-based interface.
Features include multi-channel slide display during automatic operation and a detailed machining time readout giving main and idle time.
