Claimed to far outperform any traditional single spindle cam machines in both flexibility and profitability, a linear motor drive CNC automatic makes simultaneous use of several tools. For those who were unable to attend the last EMO, DMG is staging a British re-run, complete with several machines never before demonstrated publicly in the UK. In total, eleven machines will feature showing a wide range of machining solutions and four of those are brand new.

The star performer for turning is undoubtedly the new Sprint 32 linear, aptly named as it far outperforms any traditional single spindle cam machines in both flexibility and profitability.

One of the key features of this new CNC automatic turning machine is its motor spindle and the linear arrangement of the tool holders, which allow the simultaneous use of several tools.

These features, combined with the unique configuration of up to 8 axes, make it possible to process turned parts, inexpensively and at reduced cycle times.

The next universal turning newcomer is the CTX410, one of the latest additions to the CTX 10-Series whose hallmark is low capital cost; a CTX210 model with Fanuc control will also feature on the stand.

Competitive price is achieved through efficient production and assembly methods.

In addition to the standard configuration, the design may be specified with fixed or driven tools.

The use of high-tech components such as the integrated spindle motor and fast servo-turret ensure up to 25% idle time reduction resulting in greater productivity and cost efficiency.

With the introduction of the new GMX 200 linear, DMG extends it turn-mill capabilities up to 560mm diameter, making this product line the most comprehensive for complete 6-sided machining with linear technology.

A linear drive, compound slides with a Y- and B-axis and the highly dynamic turning and milling spindle with 100Nm and a maximum 12,000 rpm are just some of the features that make this machine both a high-end lathe and a high-tech machining centre.

Speed and angle-synchronous workpiece transfers as well as integrated spindle motors provide the shortest cycle times, both for the counter spindle and the tail stock versions.

Thanks to linear drive technology, the CTX 320 linear universal lathe has been rewarding several UK companies with significant productivity increases and at MACH its abilities will be demonstrated on 65mm bar.

DMG's twin spindle range is to be represented by the Twin 65.

The large frame size of this lathe has created space for a CNC-controlled B-axis in the area of the upper turret.

In combination with the Y-axis and driven tools, it is therefore able to machine slanted bores, planes and even complicated milling contours.
