Even the first version is an outstanding milling machine. Now, the second generation of the DMU 60 eVo from manufacturer DMG Mori is installed in the Borba GmbH production hall: It meets the most demanding requirements in the five-axis universal machining of workpieces up to a diameter of 700 millimetres, a height of 550 millimetres and a weight of 500 kilograms. The milling machine’s further-developed design ensures significantly greater stability and accuracy, whilst offering a 40 per cent larger working area. The manufacturer has also taken another leap forward in terms of precision, versatility and productivity. The automation system can be controlled just as conveniently and easily directly via the machine control panel.

Speed, precision and versatility combined efficiently: the Portatec machining centre is a valuable new addition to the Borba GmbH production facilities. Speeds of up to 28,000 revolutions per minute ensure maximum precision. Large workpieces can be machined just as effectively as small, delicate parts, all held securely in place by 24 vacuum fields. Rapid tool changes and rapid traverse movements enable maximum efficiency and productivity. Material thicknesses ranging from 0.5 to 30 millimetres are machined with ease; thanks to its specialised design, it also delivers optimum results with non-ferrous metals such as aluminium or brass. With an even broader range of capabilities, the Portatec machining centre is the perfect complement to the existing DMG machining centres, ideally suited to both one-off production and series production. „This strengthens our competitiveness and enables us to reliably meet virtually any customer requirement,“ says Tim Möller, Head of the Milling Department.
