DMG (UK) will be joining forces with control manufacturer, Siemens, and Hexagon Metrology to organise a daily prize draw and anyone who visits all three stands will be entitled to enter.

First prize will be two tickets to the British Grand Prix, second prize an exclusive tour of Red Bull Racing's production facility in Milton Keynes, and third prize an iPod Nano. In terms of machining centres, the company will be showcasing a number of models to suit all budgets and technical requirements. DMC 635 V eco With a working volume of 635mm x 510mm x 460mm, the entry level DMC 635 V eco vertical machining centre is supplied with a number of advanced features as standard. Highlights include a powerful, 8,000rpm spindle with 82Nm torque, a 20 pocket SK 40 tool magazine with double gripper for short changeover times of 1.6 seconds and dynamic axis drives of up 25m/minute. DMG offers two option packages: the ‘chip disposal package' includes a chip conveyor, cleaning spray gun and a four colour indicator lamp for higher production environments. For those users needing high levels of precision, the ‘precision package' includes Z-axis thermal compensation, linear scale positional feedback in all axes and a Blum laser for integrated tool measuring. DMU80P 5-axis duoBLOCK The latest addition to the DMU-P series of machining centres from DMG is the DMU80P duoBLOCK five sided/5-axis model which provides 800mm of travel in X, Y and Z. A rapid 0.6g acceleration to 60m/minute rapid traverse in all axes and short chip to chip times of up to 4.5 seconds between tools ensure short idle times and high productivity. Fourth and fifth axes are provided by a B-axis on the spindle head and a rotary table. There are various motor spindle options and a choice of 3D control – Heidenhain iTNC 530, MillPlus IT, or Siemens 840D Solutionline. A full range of modular tool change products completes the options and includes a chain magazine or a wall mounted magazine for up to 300 tools. DMU60 monoBLOCK with Siemens control The multi-purpose DMU60 monoBLOCK has three axes in the standard version, with optional 3+2, four or five axes – ideal for five sided machining and simultaneous 5-axis machining. Spindle options range from 10,000rpm to 42,000rpm and the fast, dynamic NC milling head functions as a B-axis with a large swivel range from 30° to -120°. Efficient dynamics are provided in the standard version, with up to 0.8g acceleration, rapid traverse and cutting feed rates up to 30m/minute and fast rotary axes up to 60rpm, making the machine especially suited to tool and mould production. In the 5-axis version, collision monitoring is provided via the Heidenhain iTNC 530. For the first time, the Siemens 840D solutionline CNC system provides machine control. Highlights are a DMG specific screen area displaying item count and process monitoring information, multiple channels in widescreen display, flexible B-axis programming with workpiece correction computation, and multi-channel simulation. DMU50 + simultaneous table DMG's new, vertical spindle, fully interpolative 5-axis machining centre, the DMU50 with simultaneous table, is said to be three quarters the price of similarly specified models on the market from other suppliers. A further benefit of this low cost, entry level machine is its small footprint, despite the XYZ travels of 500mm, 450mm and 400mm. The ERGOline control is equivalent to the CNC systems driving the manufacturer's higher end equipment and build quality is also comparable. The fourth and fifth axes are provided by a 360° rotary table carried on a vertically mounted unit that swivels from - 5° to 110° enabling undercuts up to 20° to be machined. Linear speed is up to 24m/minute in all axes with 5m/s² acceleration.
