DMG MORI is extending its DMF moving column portfolio with the introduction of the DMF 600|11, a new model engineered for XXL 5-axis machining of large structural components and complex parts.
Designed to meet growing demands for flexibility and precision, the DMF 600|11 accommodates workpieces up to 6,000 × 1,100 × 1,050 mm and 12,000 kg. An optional partition wall enables the machining area to be divided into two independent work zones, allowing parallel setup and processing—an advantage in environments with high component diversity and small batch sizes, such as semiconductor and die & mold applications.
Maximum flexibility for complex machining tasks
The machine supports independent configurations with A-axis or C-axis rotary tables in each working area. With a load capacity of up to 2,000 kg, the tables enable full 5-axis machining of components up to 1,400 mm in diameter and 1,050 mm in height.
The dual-area configuration allows operators to prepare a second job during active machining time, significantly improving machine utilization and reducing idle time.
This design guarantees long-term thermal stability and consistent machining performance across the entire working envelope.
Performance tailored to every application
The DMF 600|11 offers a range of spindle options to suit different machining requirements:
- speedMASTER spindles (15,000–20,000 rpm) for high-precision milling
- powerMASTER spindles (up to 430 Nm torque) for heavy-duty machining
As standard, the machine achieves rapid traverse speeds of 42 m/min and acceleration of 4 m/s² across all axes. With the optional Dynamic Package, performance increases to 80 m/min (X-axis), 60 m/min (Y/Z axes) and 6 m/s² acceleration.
Expanded tool capacity for high-mix production
The integrated tool magazine accommodates 40 tools as standard, with expansion options up to 300 tool positions. This significantly reduces setup times in high-variation production environments.
Tool changes are performed behind the machining table, minimizing collision risk and ensuring safe, uninterrupted operation.
Integrated processes and automation-ready design
In its 5-axis configuration, the DMF 600|11 supports complete machining in a single setup, including:

In its 5-axis configuration, the DMF 600|11 supports complete machining in a single setup, including:
- Milling and turning
- Gear cutting
- Grinding
- Fine drilling and deep hole drilling
This level of process integration reduces throughput times, improves quality consistency and frees up capacity on other machines.
The machine is also fully prepared for automation, with interfaces for systems such as MATRIS for autonomous 24/7 production. Additionally, AMR-based driverless transport systems can supply materials and tools, further enhancing productivity and reducing manual workload.
With the DMF 600|11, DMG MORI delivers a future-ready solution that combines precision, scalability and automation, supporting manufacturers in achieving higher efficiency and operational flexibility in modern production environments.
