Universal CNC miller offers highest precision

Unmatched productivity rates, highest precision, superior surface quality and contour accuracy are proven credentials claimed for an established universal milling machine.
The superlatives describing the DMU-P Series are many. Unmatched productivity rates, highest precision, superior surface quality and contour accuracy are the proven credentials of this established model of universal milling machine. However, with the recent launch of the new DMU80P duoBLOCK five-sided/five-axis milling machine, exceptional capacity has been added to the list.

This new addition to the range provides 800mm of travel in all axes, providing 50% more cutting space.

DMG's patented and innovative duoBLOCKT construction offers many advantages - high precision, higher rigidity, higher dynamics and far greater design flexibility.

The machine has a solid rear wall for maximum framework rigidity and threefold linear guides for greater stability along the 'x' axis.

The three point support of the machine bed allows fast commissioning and as the moving mass on this model has been reduced by 50%, maximum dynamic response is assured.

The thermosymmetrical layout of the DMU80P and the new NC rotary table with integrated measuring system in the outer table bearing also contribute to this improved performance.

The result is an impressive 60m/min rapid traverse/0.6G along all axes and short chip-to-chip times of up to 4.5 seconds between tools.

This model has been designed for minimum lubrication and is eminently suited to dry machining.

The customer has the choice of either A- or B-axis, rotary- or milling table and various motor spindles.

One of these options is the 5X torqueMASTER, its name deriving from the assembly kit motor with gears integrated in the 'B' axis.

It provides uncompromising simultaneous five-axis machining at high torques.

The DMU80P duoBLOCK is regulated by one of the high speed 3D contollers - Heidenhain iTNC 530, MillPlus IT, or Siemens 840D powerline.
