DMG MORI is a leading manufacturer of
high-precision and highly efficient machine tools and is represented in 43
countries worldwide. It is an important customer for Siemens. An innovation
driver. It is a global leader in the machine tool manufacturing industry.
With its latest development, the DMF 400/11 FD traveling column machine,
DMG MORI meets the market demand for highly flexible five-axis machines that
impress with their very high number of technological possibilities. Here, for
example, milling-turning is also possible without any problems.
The very
first discussions with Siemens revolved around integrating more performance
into the existing control cabinet. This led to the decision to use the SINAMICS
S220 Booksize modules, which allow twice the number of axes in the same
installation space.
In addition, they can be overloaded two or three-fold. This means that
the current demand is very high precisely at the moment when acceleration
occurs. When the actual milling process begins, the power supply can be reduced
again. This means that converters can be used one size smaller in some places,
which is not only advantageous in terms of the space saved, but also in terms
of reduced costs. Since space in machines is limited and the variety of options
is growing day by day, the compactness of the SINAMICS S220 Booksize
proves to be one of its key benefits.
The SINAMICS S220 Booksize modules are also, just like the electrical
installation technology from Siemens, fully integrated in the TIA Portal, where
they can be configured and managed.
With SINUMERIK ONE, we are experiencing the full power of
digitalization. Maximum workpiece quality, future-proof technologies, and the
highest productivity through digitally optimized processes. Added to this are
the advantages of the digital twin, including comprehensive monitoring of all
production data. SIMOTICS 1FN3 linear motors are used in DMG's traveling column machine DMF
400/11 FD. SIMOTICS 1FT2 motors are also to be used in the future. Linear
motors are also installed in conjunction with this.
Our
expectations were high, but the first practical tests exceeded them. With the
SINAMICS S220 drives and the SINUMERIK ONE, the DMF 400/11 can produce much
more complex parts in higher quality much faster.
