When talking of high potential 5-axis machine for aerospace industry which is powerful, dynamic, compact and universally applicable, both DMU 340 and DMU 200 from DMG MORI are the best solution for the highest productivity
DMU 340 Gantry
- Stable: One-piece, thermo-symmetrical machine bed of EN-GJS-600 for maximum rigidity and accuracy
- Dynamic: Wear-free, highly dynamic linear drives in the X- and Y-axis with up to 0.5 G and 90 m/min rapid traverse (optional), ram with integrated C-axis as direct drive for highest dynamics in 5-axis simultaneous machining
- Modular: Expandable to 6,000 mm in the X-axis and 1,500 mm in the Z-axis
- Flexible: B-axis milling head with direct drive and 50° swivel plane for the machining of angles up to -10°
- Powerful: Extensive range of spindle modules with HSK-A100 motor spindles up to 130 Nm
- Intelligent: CELOS for simplest operation, holistic integration into the company organization and continuous IoT performance
For Markus Piber, Divisional Board Member Sales & Technology Excellence of the DMG MORI Management GmbH, the new DMU 340 Gantry is the impressive result of an in-depth liaison with the large component manufacturers from the aerospace industry, general mechanical engineering as well as tool and mold manufacturing.
The DMU 340 Gantry uses the SK40 speedMASTER motor spindle as standard, produced in-house with 15,000 rpm and 130 Nm. The range of spindle modules allows an application-specific equipment with HSK-A63 speedMASTER spindles with up to 30,000 rpm or up to 79 kW for high machining performance with excellent surfaces at the same time. These are the order of the day in the aerospace field. The HSK-A100 spindles with 430 Nm torque for heavy-duty machining, specifically in mold making, round off the comprehensive range of spindles on offer. There is space for 30 tools in the chain magazine as standard. The optional wheel magazine provides space for 63 tools and can be extended to up to 183 tool pockets.
As far as the control is concerned, DMG MORI is using CELOS for the DMU 340 Gantry as it does for all its machines. The app-based control and operating interface supports users on the machine with 21.5” multi-touch display and 27 CELOS APPs with regard to the organization of orders and process optimization. CELOS acts as interface for integration of the machine into the company organization and for their interaction in production networks of the future. Adding to this are intelligent equipment options for optimizing manufacturing processes and further increasing process reliability. This includes amongst others an infrared measuring probe, tool measurement in the work area, mechanical tool breakage monitoring as well as Machine Protection Control (MPC) for reliable prevention of collisions.

DMU 200 Gantry
- Dynamics: 0.5 G acceleration and 50 m/min rapid traverse (X/Y/Z)
- Large work area: Travel paths of 2,000 × 2,000 × 1,200 mm in. (X/Y/Z), optionally 4,000 mm travel path in X
- High stability: Cast iron machine bed
- High table load: Workpieces up to 10,000 kg
- High degree of flexibility: 45° or 90° milling head for 5-axis machining with up to 30,000 rpm
- Technology integration: Optional integration of ULTRASONIC for the CFRP/GRP machining or LASERTEC Shape for surface texturing
The DMU 200 Gantry from DMG MORI impressively combines the machining of large components and maximum dynamics. Users benefit in the aerospace and automotive industry as well as in model making and the energy sector. With the 5-axis machining of up to 30,000 rpm and optional ULTRASONIC or LASERTEC technology integration, more complex components weighing up to 10,000 kg made of aluminium or composites as well as welded components can be machined economically. The machine can be easily loaded from the top with a crane. The low gantry design of the DMU 200 Gantry enables optimum utilization of the work area. The machine achieves travel paths of 2,000 x 2,000 x 1,200 mm, with which DMG MORI is successfully complementing its product range between the DMF and the DMU P series.
The combination of cast iron machine bed and gantry portal creates a solid basis for the high dynamics. With rapid traverses of up to 50 m/min and 0.5 G acceleration, large components can be machined efficiently. Depending on the field of application, two milling heads are available for 5-axis simultaneous machining, a 45 ° as well as a 90 ° milling head. The first one enables the best possible utilization of the work area, while the 90 ° milling head enables the use of application-specific spindles, including the compactMASTER with a rotational speed of 20,000 rpm as standard in the 5-axis version. Additional spindle options comprise rotational speeds of 24,000 rpm, 28,000 rpm and 30,000 rpm. The vertical 3-axis version of the DMU 200 Gantry is equipped ex works with a speedMASTER spindle with 20,000 rpm. Adding to this is the optional ULTRASONIC milling head as well as the LASERTEC Shape Technology. This technology can be used to completely machine molded parts including surface structuring.
