By offering a total package of CAD-CAM-CNC hardware, software and engineering services, Siemens was able to help the machine builder substantially improve every aspect of part production, including reduction of design-to-part protocols, machining time, tool life, surface finish, dimensional accuracies and overall production efficiencies. The machine builder turned to its longtime business partner, Siemens, for assistance.
DMG 5 AXIS PLUS
Both high-speed roughing and then precise 5-axis machining were required in this small footprint machine, which had been selected by the customer due to specific plant capacity utilization concerns, plus their desire for a flexible, reasonably priced and highly cost-effective machine tool. The customer, a major upstream oil industry supplier, was trying to decide if the better path for this product was a single block of steel or a near net casting being machined. The customer further presented the builder with the need for fast changeover to produce the part from various metal materials, with all the attendant tool changes and workpiece setup variances present. On one recent application, DMG Mori was challenged with a 440-lb., 8” diameter x 8” high workpiece made from 1045 grade steel and being machined into a rock bit for oil field exploration. The features of the 840D allow a streamlined simulation of the actual cutting path. “It is a David handles Goliath type of story,” says Matthias Leinberger, the business development director for Siemens PLM (Product Lifecycle Management).Ī DMG employee showcasing the DMU 50 with Siemens’ 840D sl CNC. The DMU 50, although an entry-level 5-axis machining center from DMG Mori, is a compact unit that features considerable strength. Typically, components produced for the oil-and-gas field are large, heavy and often have complex contours, making the machining time long and the tool life short. Inherent in this market are several factors that lobby for great care and planning in the machining process.
DMG Mori manufactures a wide variety of conventional chip-cutting machining centers for OEMs and production job shops that serve the demanding oil-and-gas industry.
