1998 DOOSAN DMV500 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 1998 Doosan DMV 500 is a 3-axis vertical machining center designed for general-purpose precision machining of small to medium-sized prismatic components. Representing an earlier generation of Doosan's VMC lineup, the DMV 500 established a reputation for reliability and consistent cutting accuracy across a wide range of production applications including automotive tooling, die-and-mold work, and precision engineering. The machine's robust C-frame construction and hardened box-type guideways provide the structural rigidity necessary for stable performance in demanding shop environments. The worktable provides generous capacity for medium-sized workpieces with axis travels of 40 inches (X), 20 inches (Y), and 20 inches (Z). The spindle delivers 20 HP of continuous power at speeds up to 10,000 RPM, with a CAT40 taper supporting a broad range of tooling. Rapid traverse rates ensure efficient part cycling, and the 30-position automatic tool changer enables complex multi-operation workpieces without manual intervention. The machine is controlled by a Fanuc 16M CNC system providing full 3-axis contouring, canned cycles, rigid tapping, and tool life management. Standard features include flood coolant, central lubrication, and full machine enclosure with chip collection. Overall machine dimensions are approximately 124 inches long by 107 inches wide by 116 inches high, with a machine weight of approximately 16,500 pounds, making the DMV 500 a sturdy and dependable platform for medium-volume precision production.
