DMG Mori has expanded its large-part machining portfolio with the introduction of the DMF 600|11, an XXL travelling-column machining centre designed for high-precision, flexible production. The machine features a ±120-degree swivelling B-axis spindle head, enabling the four-axis machining of components up to 7200 mm long and weighing as much as 12 tonnes within a working envelope of 6000 x 1100 x 1050 mm.
Built on a modular platform, the DMF 600|11 can be configured as a five- or six-axis system with optional rotary or torque tables, supporting both milling and turning operations. Twin-table configurations allow pendulum machining, with a partition dividing the working area into two independent zones. This flexibility is particularly valuable for manufacturers handling diverse workloads and one-off components.
The machine also supports the integration of additional processes such as gear cutting, grinding and deep-hole drilling, enabling true one-hit machining. This capability reduces throughput times, releases capacity on other equipment and improves overall component quality. A rigid cast bed, symmetrical design and three external linear guideways in the X-axis ensure high stability and accuracy, while thermal control is enhanced through comprehensive cooling of key components, including the spindle, drives and ballscrews.
Spindle options include high-speed variants for precision work and high-torque versions for demanding materials. Rapid traverse rates of up to 42 m/min are standard, with an optional ‘Dynamic Package’ increasing speeds and acceleration for even greater productivity.
Automation options further enhance performance. With DMG Mori’s MATRIS handling system and AMR driverless transport solutions, the DMF 600|11 can operate autonomously, supporting continuous production while reducing operator workload and improving efficiency.
