New 5-Axis Machining Centre With Turning Capability
DMG has introduced the DMU 60 eVo FD with integral turning capability for efficient manufacture of complex workpieces, particularly in the aerospace, medical and motorsport industries.
The new machine is able to reduce costs considerably and increase accuracy when producing parts requiring rotational as well as prismatic machining, as these operations can be performed in one clamping. It is the latest model in the company's successful eVo Series, of which more than 3,000 units have been sold worldwide.

Distinctive features include a redesigned gantry that allows the X and Y axes to be located in the upper part of the machine. Spindle overhang is minimised, promoting increased stability and rigidity for high precision metalcutting. The large distance between the guideways also guarantees high and constant rigidity over the whole working area.

The optimally positioned gantry and the rounded design of the front of the machine provide good accessibility to the working area from two sides for efficient set-ups, unlike with classical machine designs. Even if the DMU 60 eVo FD is equipped with automation, accessibility to the working area is still easy.

The swivelling rotary torque table has been further strengthened, doubling the load capacity to 400 kg while maintaining the original space-saving design. The table has a swivel range from -5 to +110 degrees, measures 630 mm diameter and rotates at up to 1,200 rpm for turning a part in combination with a static tool in the spindle.

As standard, the DMU 60 eVo FD uses ballscrew drives for the X and Y axes (rapid traverse rate: 50 m/min). Optional linear motor drives in X and Y (rapid traverse rate: 80 m/min) are ideal for users that need even greater efficiency, as they offer high speed and acceleration with no loss of positioning accuracy and require less maintenance.

The DMU 60 eVo FD is the most compact machine in its class, having a footprint of 6.1 m2, regardless of the size of the tool magazine (up to 120 pockets). Spindle speeds range from 14,000 to 24,000 rpm. Additional machine options such as a pallet changer expand the scope of applications that DMU 60 eVo FD can undertake.
