Doosan Machine Tools announced the addition of the DMP 500/2SP to its line of vertical machining centers. Equipped with two spindles and two automatic-tool-change (ATC) systems, this model was designed for production job shops and high-volume parts manufacturers.
Compared to single-spindle machining centers, the DMP 500/2SP effectively doubles productivity by machining two parts simultaneously, as well as greatly reducing work loading, unloading, and idle times. For reduced setup times, the right spindle features a W-axis adjustment of 20mm (0.8"), allowing any variability in fixture heights between spindles to be quickly compensated.
12,000rpm direct drive spindles with 87 lb ft of torque are standard, and 8,000rpm spindles with 211 lb ft of torque are optional. The load capacity (1,763 lb) and table size (47" x 20.5") easily accommodate a variety of workpieces and fixtures, and together with the 20.5 " Y-axis stroke, offer a machining space well-suited for a range of parts.
Dual 24-tool capacity magazines are standard, and 30-tool and 40-tool magazines are optional. The dual ATCs boast 1.7 second tool-to-tool times, keeping the tools in the cut longer.
