DMG MORI DMC160U DUOBLOCK HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The DMG MORI DMC 160 U duoBLOCK is a high-performance 5-axis horizontal machining center engineered for precision component manufacturing and heavy-duty production environments. This compact yet powerful machine features a robust work envelope with 63" X-axis, 55.10" Y-axis, and 43.30" Z-axis travel, accommodating large workpieces while maintaining a reduced footprint. The system incorporates dual 49.2" × 39.4" pallets enabling continuous production through parallel setup capabilities. The horizontally-oriented spindle delivers 37.5 HP at speeds up to 12,000 RPM with CAT#50 taper compatibility, supported by rapid traverse rates of 2,362.2 IPM for enhanced cycle time efficiency. Integrated 5-axis capability includes B-axis indexing from -30° to +180° and A-axis rotation from -120° to +10°, facilitating complex multi-face machining operations in single setups. The machine features a 120-tool chain-type magazine for rapid tool changes and extended production runs without interruption. Complete machining versatility is achieved through the DirectDrive rotary table enabling milling and turning operations within one setup with rotational speeds up to 400 RPM. Precision is maintained via completely water-cooled feed drives and Spindle Growth Sensor (SGS) compensation technology for thermal stability. The system achieves exceptional machine availability at 96% through optimized ergonomic design, unrestricted accessibility for maintenance, and automated chip conveyor removal. Advanced control alternatives include SIEMENS or HEIDENHAIN systems, with flexible automation integration options supporting unmanned manufacturing operations.
