The world premiere of the DMG Mori DMU 85 monoBLOCK 2 Generation at the recent AMB exhibition in Stuttgart combines the proven machine concept of the previous series with numerous optimisations incorporated directly from the practical experience of users.

The latest generation of the versatile five-axis simultaneous machining centre sees the introduction of improved cooling measures and direct-driven ball screws that ensure a positioning accuracy of 5 µm. Importantly, the 5 kW cooling unit is integrated in such a way that the footprint of the DMU 85 monoBLOCK 2 Generation is kept to a minimum. Further advances include the integration of additional machining processes, such as the optional mill-turn table and grinding functionality.

A wide range of automation options and CELOS X as the basis for digitised production make the new series suitable for companies in the mould and die, aerospace, semiconductor and other demanding industries.

In order to cover the wide range of requirements in the numerous target sectors, DMG Mori says that the DMU 85 monoBLOCK 2 Generation modular system includes the widest range of spindles on the market: speedMASTER spindles with speeds of 30,000 rpm for high surface finish or powerMASTER spindles offering up to 430 Nm torque for heavy-duty titanium machining. MASTER series spindles come with a 36-month warranty. The tool magazine of the DMU 85 monoBLOCK 2 Generation offers 30 pockets as standard, expandable to 180 pockets.

With more than 6000 monoBLOCK machines on the market, DMG Mori attached great importance to the unrestricted compatibility of the series.
