DMG DMF 360 / 11 linear – High-Precision Milling Center for Demanding Applications

The DMG DMF 360 / 11 linear is a high-performance milling center designed specifically for complex manufacturing tasks in tooling, mold making, and mechanical engineering. Linear drives provide high dynamics and precision, allowing efficient machining of complex geometries and freeform surfaces.

Technical Data of the DMF 360 / 11 linear

The DMF 360 / 11 linear offers travels of approximately 360 mm in X, 360 mm in Y, and 360 mm in Z. The working area can accommodate workpieces up to 400 mm in diameter and 300 kg in weight. The spindle achieves up to 20,000 rpm with a power of around 18 kW, depending on the configuration. Tool clamping is via HSK-A63, supported by a chain magazine for up to 60 tools.

Control is via Heidenhain iTNC 640 or Siemens 840D / CELOS and enables precise machining with positioning accuracy of 4–5 µm. Optional features include internal coolant, probes, and chip conveyors for process reliability and repeatability.

Special Features & Advantages

Linear drives provide high dynamics while maintaining precision. The compact machine reduces floor space (approx. 7 m²) and allows easy access to the working area through large doors. The machine is robust, suitable for both prototypes and small to medium series. Automation solutions can be easily integrated.

Applications & Industries

The DMG DMF 360 / 11 linear is particularly suitable for:

• Tool and mold making – complex freeform surfaces, mechatronic molds
• Aerospace – precise components with tight tolerances
• Automotive – prototypes, series components, transmission parts
• Medical technology – implants, instruments with high surface quality
• Mechanical engineering – precise components, housings, assemblies

Buying a Used DMF 360 / 11 linear – An Economic Option

Those looking to reduce investment costs can consider used DMF 360 / 11 linear machines. Well-maintained units with service history and documented operating hours are often available.

When purchasing, check spindle hours, tool changer condition, and control version. A reliable dealer and optional service contract can make a used machine a very economical alternative.
