High-Precision VMC Designed for Serial Production



Made for the demands of the automotive industry, DMG MORI's MAX 3000 30-taper vertical machining center (VMC) was developed aiming at high-precision, high-speed machining of small workpieces. It comes standard with a high-speed, two-station automatic pallet changer (APC).

For high-speed machining applications, the MAX 3000 achieves a rapid traverse rate of 62 m/min / 2,440.9 IPM. It features a footprint of only 4.6 m2 / 49.5 sq. ft. despite employing a two-station APC. The table working surface of 600 x 300 mm / 23.6 x 11.8 in., which is suitable for machining small automotive parts, allows a round table to be installed, enabling the machine to offer a broad range of machining from small part machining using high-speed feeds to complex machining requiring simultaneous 4-axis control.

"In order to suppress pitching, DMG MORI has reduced the weights of the column and other moving parts without losing rigidity, and minimized the distance between the center of gravity of the moving parts and the guideways. Roller guides are used for the guideways to offer even better repeatability," said a company spokesperson.

"High acceleration ensured by the lighter moving parts significantly reduces machining time even during machining that requires frequent repetition of rapid traverse and cutting feed, such as machining of multiple small workpieces. The high-speed APC with a pallet change time of 2 sec. reduces idle time and improves productivity."

With a spindle speed of up to 15,000 RPM and a spindle bearing inner diameter of 55 mm / 2.2 in., the MAX 3000 offers rigidity. This allows the machine to handle various types of machining operations and material, such as high-speed milling of aluminum, heavy-duty cutting of steel, and machining of magnesium, iron, castings and stainless steel.

Up to 10 ports (optional) for supplying hydraulic and air pressure to fixtures are available per pallet, which enables the machine to mount various types of fixtures. The tool storage capacity of up to 27 tools provides optimal machining for a wide variety of workpieces.

"The MAX 3000 is designed with many features to maintain high reliability for a long period of time. The simple APC, consisting of a large-diameter cross roller bearing and a servo motor, enables high-speed, high-accuracy pallet changing and minimizes the risk of mechanical malfunction as it uses neither hydraulic equipment nor switches. The simple armless type ATC that requires far fewer components also contributes to improving the machine's reliability. Additionally, all linear axes are located above the machining area, allowing the machine to be less affected by chips and coolant that often cause problems during serial production machining," said the spokesperson.

The MAX 3000 comes with the MAPPS IV high-performance operating system. Featuring the customizable main screen and easy-to-use button layout, MAPPS IV provides outstanding operating convenience. The MAPPS's conversational automatic programming function offers simple and easy programming regardless of workpiece complexity. In addition to the NC memory, MAPPS offers 50 MB memory for program storage. The large-capacity memory enables users to perform direct operations by transferring stored programs directly to the NC unit. A USB interface is also provided for data transfer between the machine and the PC.

The energy-efficient CNC and LED lighting are designed to benefit the environment, and also ensures lower operating costs. Overall power consumption has decreased by approximately 30% compared to the previous model by cutting off the power supply to the servomotors and coolant pumps during standby.

DMG MORI provides a variety of peripheral equipment such as a through-spindle coolant unit and a mist collector as DMSQP (DMG Mori Seiki Qualified Products).

The machine is available with various optional packages to meet a wide range of machining needs. Current examples of packages include chip disposal, high-precision machining, coolant, measuring instruments and robot systems.

The MAX 3000 complies with global safety standards, including ISO, IEC, UL and JIS standards.
