DMG MORI will highlight its technologies and products at EMO in Milan on Oct. 5-10. "DMG MORI will present seven world premieres at its stand in Hall 4," said a company spokesperson. "In the field of turning technology, there will be four world premieres: the production turning machine SPRINT 32|5 (including the equally new extension stage to SPRINT 32|8) built in Italy, the second generation of the turning/milling machines CTX gamma TC in two sizes and the NLX 6000|2000 turning/milling center for large components. The three milling innovations all originate from the fourth generation of the duoBLOCK series. Other highlights of the show will be the introduction of the automatic lathes from DMG MORI WASINO."

DMG MORI has two Italian production sites. Since 1969, GILDEMEISTER Italiana S.p.A. from Bergamo has offered high-performance lathe technology with a focus on production and automatic lathe machines. Its site has been modernized and expanded. A new 12,917 sq. ft. assembly hall has also been created, accompanied by a 10,764 sq. ft. technology center in which customized solutions and machines are developed.

The SPRINT 32|5, and its upgrade SPRINT 32|8, are made in Italy, as well as the universal turning machines NLX 2500SY|700 and CTX alpha 500. The turning/milling machining center CTX beta 1250 TC, the production turning machine SPRINT 50 and the automatic multi-spindle machine GMC 20 ISM are other EMO exhibits made in Italy.

SPRINT 32|5 and SPRINT 32|8

The SPRINT 32|5, with a base area of less than 30 sq. ft., is designed for compact production of short and long turning of workpieces of up to ø 32 x 600 mm. The SPRINT 32|5 machines materials in rod form up to 32 mm in diameter using two spindles and a two-channel controller. "DMG MORI keeps part costs to a minimum in this way," said the spokesperson. "With 22 tools on two independent workpiece carriers, it is possible to carry out complex machining processes."

The automatic lathe also machines workpieces radially at the main spindle with four driven tools. The machine is equipped with five linear axes and a C-axis for the main spindle. Other options are the unloading device for workpieces up to 600 mm in length and the high-pressure coolant supply with 120 bar.

As an upgrade, DMG MORI will present the SPRINT 32|8 at EMO as another extension of the SPRINT range. The SPRINT 32|8 is equipped with three independent linear carriers for 4-axis machining on the main spindle and offers space for up to 28 tools. The machine has six linear axes in total including a second Y-axis. Two C-axes are also available - one for the main spindle and one for the counter-spindle. "While an advantage of the SPRINT 32|8 is its flexibility in relation to machining complex components, its ergonomic operation and durable construction underline its performance," said the spokesperson.

CTX gamma TC Second Generation

"Better performance and a bigger working area are the main features of the new CTX gamma 1250 TC and CTX gamma 2000 TC," said the spokesperson. "The highlight of the two second-generation machines is the ultra-compact turning/milling spindle. Their compact dimensions translate into a space-saving area of 70 mm, meaning that 550-mm long workpieces can be horizontally drilled out or hollow turned. The elevation in the X-axis has been increased by 150 mm, extending the options for the machining of large workpiece diameters."

In addition, the Y-axis now offers 20 mm more travel. The maximum turning length of the CTX gamma 1250 TC is 1,300 mm. The CTX gamma 2000 TC model has a turning length of 2,050 mm. The maximum turning diameter for both is 700 mm.

"In its development of the compactMASTER turning/milling spindle, DMG MORI has increased the turning torque by 130%, meaning that up to 230 Nm is available to users," said the spokesperson. "The spindle operates at speeds of up to 12,000 RPM. The new CTX gamma TC models also have improved features: The feed speeds of 50 m/min in the X, Y and Z directions have been increased by up to 65%. With the optional linear drive in the Z-axis, the turning/milling machines achieve up to 60 m/min in fast feed and an acceleration of 1G. Equipped with a B-axis and the technology cycle, the two world premieres are ideal for 5-axis simultaneous machining. For 4-axis production turning, a bottom revolver is optionally available as the second tool carrier. This can accommodate up to 12 power tools at up to 10,000 RPM."

duoBLOCK Fourth Generation

The latest generation of duoBLOCK machining centers offers rigidity and high precision. "The cooling system with comprehensive cooling features on the spindle head and NC round table guarantees long-term precision even in the standard version," said the spokesperson. The large modules of the duoBLOCK series also contain options for machine customization such as the precision package, which includes cooling of the entire feed drive or bed temperature control. The customer can also select from a wide range of spindles with torques up to 1,600 Nm. "In combination with the optional heavy-duty machining packages, users get up to 50% better milling performance in titanium and Inconel," said the spokesperson.

The world premieres in the duoBLOCK model series include the DMC 100 U duoBLOCK universal milling machine and the DMC 100 H duoBLOCK and DMC 125 H duoBLOCK horizontal centers. "The distance from the spindle to the center of the table of the two horizontal machining centers has been increased by 200 mm, meaning that now there is sufficient room available for long tools up to 900 mm," said the spokesperson.

NLX 6000|2000

The NLX 6000|2000 provides turn/mill machining of workpieces up to 2,000 mm in length, with a diameter of 920 mm and a chuck diameter of 600 mm. "The productive, high-precision machining on the NLX 6000|2000 are based on the rigidity of the drive trains, the structure of the machine bed and the flat guides with their high dampening characteristics," said the spokesperson. "The milling performance is guaranteed by the revolver magazine with BMT technology. The integrated direct drive motor achieves up to 4,000 RPM and a high torque of up to 117 Nm.

"The highlight of the NLX 6000|2000 is the application-oriented selection of powerful spindles. The range starts at type B with a spindle diameter of 185 mm. In this case, the maximum speed is 1,600 RPM, and the torque is up to 7,000 Nm. The range of spindles is rounded off by two spindles, each with torques of up to 12,000 Nm. Type C has a diameter of 285 mm, and type D has a 375 mm diameter."

DMG MORI WASINO

"These ultra-precise production lathes offer 0.2 um roundness precision for production lines in the automotive industry," said the spokesperson. "The robust design and low center of gravity of the WASINO models of the G-series make them suitable for applications in which a high degree of mechanical and thermal stability is required. In combination with the linear tool carrier, the G-series can be used in finishing, including ultra-precision applications.

"The J-series provides a selection of high-precision and compact automatic revolver lathes that are designed for quality-oriented preparation and finishing of small precision workpieces.

"The models of the WASINO A-series provide users with a large number of tool locations and, in the case of the AD-18S, a counter-spindle for demanding 6-side complete machining. The focus of these machines is high-precision machining of complex turn/mill parts. Therefore, the machines are equipped with a Y-axis and space for driven tools. The A-18S, for instance, can be set up with 18 (driven) tools.

"Additionally, the GG-05, the JJ-1 and the AA-1 of the WASINO portfolio each offers a two-spindle lathe for efficient ongoing production."

ECOLINE New Design

The latest ECOLINE model series is an entry-level segment from DMG MORI. "More robust and scratch-resistant finishes made from anodised aluminium and powder-coated metal cladding provide a high degree of value stability," said the spokesperson.

DMG MORI has also designed the ECOLINE models for ergonomics and accessibility. "The safety windows of the machines can be quickly and easily replaced from the outside," said the spokesperson. "Furthermore, the universal turning machine ecoTurn 450 has internal chip protection that prevents damage to the window."
