Industrial automation through manufacturing integration
DMG MORI Bergamo has partnered with components and systems providers HAIMER, Horn, Tungaloy, ALGRA, and FCS System to deliver integrated, automated turning and milling solutions for high-volume precision manufacturing.

High-volume production of complex workpieces in sectors such as medical, automotive, aerospace, and renewable energy requires strict process reliability and minimized setup times. To address these operational challenges, DMG MORI Bergamo collaborates within the DMG MORI Components Program (DMQP) framework with partner companies HAIMER, Horn, Tungaloy, ALGRA, and FCS System. This cooperation combines machine tool engineering with specialized tooling, clamping, and peripheral systems. The integration ensures that peripheral components conform to the exact mechanical and digital interfaces of the machine tools, creating unified industrial automation cells capable of continuous operation.
System integration and technical specifications
The technical solution integrates multi-spindle automatic turning machines, turn-mill centers, and 5-axis universal milling machines with specialized partner technologies. For example, the NZ TRE horizontal production turning center operates in tandem with the Robo2Go Turning second-generation automation system, creating a robot-assisted manufacturing cell.

Process integration is further demonstrated in the DMU 60 eVo second-generation 5-axis universal machining center. This machine incorporates mill-turn tables to combine milling, turning, grinding, and gear cutting via the gearSKIVING technology cycle within a single setup. This configuration connects to a PH Cell 300 pallet handling system, which manages pallets with a maximum transfer weight of up to 300 kg for automated, unattended production.
The digital infrastructure of these systems relies on the CELOS X operating environment, utilizing either SINUMERIK ONE or HEIDENHAIN TNC 7 CNC control architectures. These interfaces ensure synchronized data flow between the machine tools and peripheral hardware provided by the DMQP partners.
Deployment and industrial applications
The integrated systems are deployed globally, with hardware manufactured at the Brembate di Sopra and Tortona facilities in Italy. Target application areas include the machining of complex components for the energy sector, such as wind energy infrastructure, which demand high structural integrity and tight tolerances.
In aerospace and medical manufacturing, the NTX 2500 third-generation turn-mill center utilizes two rigid turnMASTER spindles, a compactMASTER spindle with a +/- 150 mm Y-axis travel and 20,000 rpm capability, and a turretMASTER turret. This architecture allows complete six-sided machining of components up to ø 670 mm in diameter and 1,530 mm in length without manual repositioning.

The standardized mechanical interfaces provided by the participating partner companies ensure that tools, tool holders, and clamping systems maintain rigidity and concentricity under high cutting forces, directly improving process stability and component surface quality.
The integrated solutions will be demonstrated from June 9 to 11, 2026, at the DMG MORI Bergamo in-house exhibition in Brembate di Sopra, Italy, featuring 18 machines in a 1,300 square meter technical environment.
