Capable of producing complex workpieces weighing up to 400 kg from a wide range of materials, from aluminium to titanium, the new DMP 35 vertical machining centre is now available from DMG Mori. Occupying a footprint of just 3.15 sq m, the standard three-axis version can optionally come as a five-axis model and/or with automated pallet handling.

Axis travels of 350 x 420 x 380 mm are generous considering that the machine width is only 1285 mm if using the 15-station tool magazine, rising slightly to 1410 mm if choosing an alternative 25-pocket magazine. Underlining the breadth of options available, customers can select a 24,000 rpm/52 Nm in-line spindle and an HSK-A40 or SK30 interface in place of the standard 15,000 rpm/78 Nm spindle.

Up to 2 g acceleration delivers a chip-to-chip time of 1.5 seconds, while rapid traverse is 60 m/min in all orthogonal axes. Linear scales (fitted as standard) feed axis positions to the Siemens control.

A further option is the integration of a swivelling rotary table for five-axis simultaneous metal cutting.

Requiring an additional floor area of 1.15 sq m, it is possible to connect a WH 3 automation unit manufactured by DMG Mori to the DMP 35. Rapid autonomous exchange of machine pallets fixtured with raw material or finished components raises productivity. It additionally introduces the possibility of six-sided machining and allows long periods of unattended operation, including lights-out.

DMG Mori also offers the DMP 70 with travels of 700 x 420 x 380 mm.
