Overview

The DMG Mori DMF 400|11 FD is the mill-turn variant of the DMF 400|11 traveling-column machining center, delivering a massive 4,000 mm (157.5 in) of X-axis travel with 1,100 mm (43.3 in) on both Y and Z axes, plus an integrated DirectDrive rotary table for turning operations. This machine handles parts up to 4,600 mm (181.1 in) long and 8,000 kg (17,637 lb) — territory normally reserved for floor-type boring mills and large gantry machines, but with full 5-axis simultaneous capability and integrated turning.

The traveling-column design maintains the full 8,000 kg table load capacity at any X-position, ensuring consistent cutting performance across the entire 4-meter travel range. Maximum workpiece dimensions reach 4,600 mm long, 1,100 mm wide, 1,100 mm tall, and 1,400 mm (55.1 in) in diameter for turning operations.

Spindle options range from 12,000 to 20,000 RPM with torque up to 430 Nm through SK50/HSK-A100 tapers. The SK50 taper provides the tool rigidity needed for heavy roughing in titanium and Inconel at this substantial machine scale. The FD mill-turn table enables facing, boring, and cylindrical turning on large-diameter features.

The tool magazine holds up to 120 pockets with maximum 400 mm tool length (540 mm with HSK-A100). Linear motor options are available for the X-axis to deliver enhanced dynamic performance during high-speed contouring across the full 4-meter travel. The modular configuration supports both 4-axis and optional 5-axis machining with integrated rotary table.

Control options include Siemens Sinumerik ONE and Heidenhain TNC7 under CELOS X. The DMF 400|11 FD occupies a unique position between conventional traveling-column machines and full gantry systems, offering 5-axis mill-turn capability at a scale that very few competing platforms can match.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

4,000 mm X-axis travel with FD mill-turn handles parts over 4.5 meters long with combined milling and turning in one setup
8,000 kg table load capacity accommodates the heaviest long workpieces in aerospace, energy, and defense manufacturing
SK50/HSK-A100 spindle with 430 Nm torque provides cutting force for aggressive roughing in titanium and Inconel at scale
FD mill-turn eliminates separate lathe operations for extra-long parts with turned flanges and journals
Traveling-column design maintains full 8,000 kg table load at any X-position for consistent cutting performance
Smaller footprint and more versatile than a dedicated gantry machine for similar part sizes

Limitations

Starting above $1.1M and commonly exceeding $1.4M configured, this is one of the most expensive traveling-column machines available
4,000 mm X-axis travel requires substantial floor space and reinforced foundation rated for 40,000+ kg total load
Machine lead times can exceed 18-24 months for this specialized, high-demand configuration
Long-part fixturing for turning operations at this scale demands extensive engineering and custom tooling
Service at this machine tier requires specialized DMG Mori technicians; availability varies by region

Best For

Aerospace OEMs machining extra-long wing spars, fuselage frames, and landing gear beams with both milled and turned features Energy sector manufacturers producing large turbine rotors, generator shafts, and wind turbine components over 4 meters long Defense manufacturers machining long barrel assemblies, structural beams, and vehicle frame components Oil and gas shops producing long drill collars, BHA components, and subsea manifolds with combined mill-turn features Shops replacing dedicated long-bed lathes and large milling machines with a single integrated platform

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a DMG Mori DMF 400|11 FD cost?

New DMF 400|11 FD machines price between $1,100,000 and $1,600,000 depending on spindle, control, linear motor, and automation configuration. The FD mill-turn option adds roughly $100,000-$150,000 over the standard DMF 400|11.

02 How does the DMF 400|11 compare to the DMF 300|11?

The DMF 400|11 adds 1,000 mm more X-axis travel (4,000 vs 3,000 mm) and 33% more table load (8,000 vs 6,000 kg), handling parts up to 4,600 mm long versus 3,600 mm. Both share the same 1,100 mm Y/Z envelope and spindle options.

03 Should I consider a gantry machine instead?

Gantry machines typically offer even larger work envelopes but at higher cost and larger footprint. The DMF 400|11 FD provides 5-axis trunnion-table kinematics with mill-turn capability that gantry machines cannot match. For parts under 4.6 meters that benefit from workpiece rotation and integrated turning, the DMF is the more versatile choice.

04 What foundation is required?

The DMF 400|11 FD requires a reinforced concrete foundation rated for approximately 40,000-50,000 kg total load including machine weight, 8,000 kg workpiece capacity, and dynamic cutting forces. Foundation engineering typically costs $50,000-$100,000+.
