DMG MORI offers its latest model DMC 80 FD duo BLOCK universal machining center that is designed for enhanced flexibility and productivity. According to the company, it features improvements of 30% in precision, performance and efficiency.
The 4th generation DMC 80 FD duoBLOCK has a newly developed B-axis milling head. It has a swivel range of 210° with a swivel of 30° in the negative direction. According to the company, the larger axis bearing results in a 20% increase in rigidity. The extended swivel range and reduced interference contour, in conjunction with the cable conduit integrated into the housing, enable a wider range of customer-specific complete machining operations to be carried out. Idle times are reduced due to shortened B-axis movements, and the extended life of the integral cables has a positive effect on high machine availability.
DMG MORI offers the combination of a redesigned B-axis with a stiffer and more accurate milling/turning table with pallet system. In the DMC 80 FD duoBLOCK, this is also fitted with larger bearings and improved clamping.
In the 4th generation, the duoBLOCK machine concept has been made more stable due to its 30% greater rigidity. With an 8% larger work area of 0.715 dm3 / 43.6 in3 and a Z-axis traverse of 850 mm / 33.5", the DMC 80 FD duoBLOCK has increased overall rigidity despite a reduced footprint. This is based on structural optimization of the reinforced, in some areas wider, machine beds and columns made of high-quality castings (GGG 60). In addition, the supporting surfaces of the machine beds have been enlarged, stronger 55 mm / 2.2" linear guides fitted on the Y-axis and 50 mm / 2" diameter ballscrew drives incorporated.
The company reported that these measures and the larger bearings in the B-axis and C-axis result in a gain of approximately 20% in overall rigidity in the 4th generation DMC 80 FD duoBLOCK. This makes it possible for heavy duty milling to be carried out with the new powerMASTER 1000 spindle and HSK 100 toolholder interface in the B-axis. The spindle has a power rating of 77 kW / 103.2 HP, the maximum speed is 9,000 RPM and the torque is 1,000 Nm / 737.6 ft-lbs. The B-axis provides a 120% power increase compared to previous motor spindles and offers enhanced milling performance and chipping power. "In comparison with the competition, the 4th generation universal milling centers achieve 75% greater metal removal rates during 5-axis milling," said a company spokesperson.
Motor spindles with the HSK 63 tool interface up to 18,000 RPM for high-speed cutting (HSC machining) is a further option for the duoBLOCK. Alternatively, Torquemaster gear-driven spindles with 1,053 or 1,424 Nm / 776.7 or 1,050.3 ft-lbs. at 8,000 RPM and 37 or 44 kW / 49.6 or 60.0 HP for HSK 100 can be used in the machines when carrying out high-performance cutting operations (HPC machining).
"An almost constant overall machine temperature is achieved with the DMC 80 FD duoBLOCK universal machining center during chip removal," said the spokesperson. "This is achieved by structurally strengthened and thermo-symmetrical machine design along with additional cooling measures. Additional cooling channels in the machine bed and column, together with the liquid cooling of the feed drives on all linear axes, including the rotary table with C-axis motor, dissipate the heat produced during chip removal."
The previous cooling measures in the whole B-axis/milling head area and in the electrical cabinet have been adapted to suit the re-engineered machine structure. Electronic compensation devices eliminate the residual displacement caused by temperature or the effects of static or dynamic forces. The devices, which are included as standard, are supplemented by the effective use of the Spindle Growth Sensor (SGS) to prevent axial spindle displacement.
"The option of careful temperature control of the coolant during machining is also recommended," said the spokesperson. "The combination of all these measures leads to 30% greater workpiece accuracy when milling or during mill/turn machining with the 4th generation duoBLOCK universal machining centers."
Tool and workpiece changeover were also redesigned on the 4th generation duoBLOCK machines. Space-saving wheel magazines featuring 123 tool pockets reduced space requirements by approximately 40%. The parallel arrangement of up to four wheel magazines with a total capacity of 243 tool pockets is designed to meet the increasing number of possible applications of the 4th generation universal machining centers and the global upward trend in process automation. Short traverse distances and cam-controlled changers enable short times to be achieved when changing and presenting tools during production.
The idle time of the machines and pallet changer have been improved by increasing the table speed of the 4th axis to 40 RPM in rapid traverse and re-engineering the sequence. Additional devices for enhanced process automation can be selected from the DECKEL MAHO modular system and connected accordingly. The same applies to the systems from the company's external partners. The use of pallet magazines, gantry loaders and robots as well as the integration of the universal machining centers into flexible manufacturing systems enables unattended automatic operations to be carried out.
As a result of the improved machine temperature control in the 4th generation machines, the cooling unit has an increased energy requirement. For this reason, only highly efficient, energy-saving cooling units, the power of which is adjusted automatically to the machine cooling requirements, are used in the 4th generation duoBLOCK universal machining centers. For example, the 80 bar / 1160.3 PSI coolant pump is equipped with a speed controller to reduce energy losses, which prevents unnecessary heating of the coolant.
The continuous power display on the CELOS interface indicates to the machine user the current energy being used and analyzes the consumption at a specific point in time. Appropriate responses can lead to further energy savings.
The 8% larger work area with the 6% longer vertical travel of 850 mm / 33.5" is easily accessible from the side and from above. Despite a larger work area, the footprint has been reduced to 21.4 sq. m / 230.4 sq. ft. According to the company, the user-friendly ergonomics of the machine have been further improved with the re-engineered machine design, which features ease of operation and an easily accessible set-up station. These are important for effective workpiece fixturing and for work area visibility. Automation devices external to the machine can also be connected to the enclosures. The central location of easily accessible valves and pumps at the rear of the machine simplifies maintenance and, if it should be necessary to replace a window, this can now be carried out from the outside.
The DMC 80 FD duoBLOCK is presented with CELOS with 21.5" ERGOline panel and Siemens control. CELOS from DMG MORI is designed to simplify and accelerate the process from the idea to the finished product. CELOS APPs provide the user with integrated management, documentation and visualization of order, process and machine data. CELOS is compatible with MRP and ERP systems, can be networked with CAD/CAM applications and is ready for future CELOS APP extensions. As standard, the machine is equipped with Operate 4.5 on Siemens 840D solutionline and includes a 19" ERGOline panel.
