EMO 2013: Dynamic travelling column milling centre

The DMF 600 linear extends DMG MORI SEIKI's range of travelling column machining centres with a model boasting travels of 6,000 mm x 1,100 mm x 900 mm, suitable for workpieces up to 10 t, which makes the DMF 600 linear ideal for customers in the aerospace industry, looking for efficient machining solutions.

One of the machine's characterisic features include the linear drive in the X-axis for high accuracy, fast rapid traverse of 80 m/min and short non-productive times during tool changes. Feed rates of the Y- and Z-axis are 60 m/min.

The DMF 600 linear offers spindle speeds of 8,000 rpm as standard. Optionally, spindles with 18,000 rpm are available, as well as a 10,000 rpm spindle with 413 Nm, SK50 and HSK-A100 interface respectively with enough power to manage heavy machining tasks.

Furthermore, two NC round tables for 5-axis pendulum machining or two mill-turn-tables for demanding mill-turn operations in two separate work areas can optionally be integrated into the machine. The machine bed is cast from HPC, and the travelling column's thermo-symmetric design ensure high rigidity and long-term stability.

The DMF 600 linear  comes with Operate 4.5 on SIEMENS 840D solutionline. Operate 4.5 is DMG MORI SEIKI's new platform for all machines with SIEMENS control - from entry- to high-end models. Operate 4.5 encompasses a machine tool's complete automation technology from drives to the CNC-control. Additionally, Operate 4.5 offers users a uniform user interface for all technologies. Altogether, Operate 4.5 is a convincing complete performance package for maximum machining productivity.
