DAH LIH DMT-500 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The DAH LIH DMT-500 is a mid-range vertical machining center designed for precision manufacturing of complex parts across aerospace, automotive, and mold-making industries. This machine features substantial X, Y, and Z axis travels of 39.37, 31.52, and 37.40 inches respectively, providing a generous working envelope suitable for medium to large-scale workpieces. The spindle delivers 12,000 RPM with 20.1 horsepower, enabling aggressive material removal rates for both roughing and finishing operations across ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Weighing 31,967.85 pounds, the DMT-500 boasts a rigid, stable structure that minimizes vibration and thermal distortion during extended machining cycles. The substantial mass contributes to superior dimensional accuracy and repeatability essential for tight-tolerance applications. The machine integrates linear guide ways and precision ball screws across all three axes, ensuring reliable positioning accuracy and smooth motion throughout the work envelope. Standard features typically include an automatic tool changer with multiple tool capacity, flood coolant system, and CNC control compatible with industry-standard programming. The combination of power, speed, and working volume makes the DMT-500 versatile for die and mold manufacturing, component production, and prototype development. Its mid-sized footprint balances shop floor space efficiency with substantial cutting capability, positioning it as an effective solution for job shops and manufacturing facilities requiring consistent precision and production throughput without the overhead of larger, more specialized equipment.
