DMG DMC V series
Since their market launch in 2014, the vertical machining centers of the DMG DMC V series have proven themselves to be powerful and flexible milling machines. Thanks to their stable construction with a rigid table, workpieces weighing up to 3,000 kg can be machined on the upper slide unit (DMC 1850 V).
The models in the DMG DMC V series
The DMG DMC V series comprises a total of five different models, which differ in terms of maximum workpiece weights and travel distances: DMC 650 V, DMC 850 V, DMC 1150 V, DMC 1450 V, and DMC 1850 V.
Construction with high stability
The machines in the DMG DMC V series are designed as vertical milling centers with a machine table permanently integrated into the machine bed, which ensures high stability and enables precise machining. The mineral casting machine bed rests on a gray cast iron column and forms the basis for the X-Y slide. The design developed by DMG MORI with large-dimensioned guides and ball screws deviates from the typical, widely used cross table concept and ensures high stability. Regardless of the weight of the workpiece, the moving masses are always the same, which has a positive effect on the precision of the components. Accuracy is further increased by dissipating frictional heat through cooling of the linear guides and ball screw nuts. Large safety windows ensure a good view into the work area when monitoring the manufacturing process.
Dimensioned for medium to large workpieces
With increasing model size, the maximum table loads reach up to three tons:
DMC 650 V: 800 kg
DMC 850 V: 1000 kg
DMC 1150 V: 1500 kg
DMC 1450 V: 2000 kg
DMC 1850 V: 3000 kg
Depending on the model, the machines are large enough for machining medium to large workpieces. The travel distances of the axes are:
DMC 650 V: 650 mm × 520 mm × 475 mm
DMC 850 V: 850 mm × 520 mm × 475 mm
DMC 1150 V: 1150 mm × 700 mm × 550 mm
DMC 1450 V: 1450 mm x 700 mm x 550 mm
DMC 1850 V: 1850 mm x 700 mm x 550 mm
Spindles for various requirements
Depending on the application, various spindles are available for the machines in the DMC V series. The inlineMASTER basic spindle delivers speeds of up to 14,000 rpm and 121 Nm, with optional speeds of up to 40,000 rpm also available. The optional SK 50 / HSK-A100 powerMASTER spindle with 10,000 rpm and 288 Nm offers sufficient reserves for heavy-duty machining. The tool magazine has 20 tool slots and can be expanded to 120 slots.
Control units for the DMG DMC V series
Depending on the machine model and configuration, various controls from Siemens, Heidenhain, and Mitsubishi/Fanuc are available for the DMG MORI DMC V series. Machines such as the DMC 850 V and DMC 1150 V were initially delivered ex works with either the 19″ Ergoline operating station and Heidenhain TNC640 control or the Siemens Sinumerik 840D sl with Operate 4.5. Shortly after the market launch, DMG MORI also added the larger 21.5″ Ergoline station to the Celos process, production, and machine management system, which is why many used machines in the series are already equipped with this system, which provides convenient access to all production-related information via the control system using an app-based user interface.
Wide range of applications and high precision
Due to their wide range of applications and high precision, the DMC V series milling machines are widely used in both workshop operations and parts production. Whether in combination with various automation solutions in series production or demanding single-part production through to heavy-duty machining, these machines are the means of production of choice in many manufacturing companies in order to meet a wide range of requirements with maximum precision and efficiency.
The DMG DMC V series from today’s perspective
Even today, more than ten years after their market launch, the vertical milling machines of the DMG DMC V series still largely correspond to the state of the art and therefore retain their value on the used market.
The DMC V series has since been discontinued and replaced by newer models. The DMG DMV 115, for example, can be considered the successor to the DMC 1150 V. The travel distances of the axes are the same for both machines (X = 1,150 mm, Y = 700 mm, Z = 550 mm), and the DMV 115 can also be used to machine workpieces weighing up to 1,500 kg. It also has a rigid table and an overhead X-slide.
A similar machine, which is available as a relatively inexpensive new machine in DMG Mori’s current range, is the DMG CMX 1100 V. However, users report that the machines in the DMC series are generally more stable and therefore more torsion-resistant.
