DMG MORI CMX U and PH 150: Pallet Capacity and Changeover

DMG MORI’s 2019 publication specifies 150 kg maximum load, with an optional 250 kg configuration.

Technical application analysis. Fixture-mounted workpieces; no specific part identified; DMG MORI CMX U five-axis vertical machining center; automated pallet handling.

Reference configuration and timing

DMG MORI’s 2019 publication specifies 150 kg maximum load, with an optional 250 kg configuration.
It lists either ten 320 × 320 mm pallets or six 400 × 400 mm pallets. These are alternative layouts.
Pallet change time is less than 40 s. The cited system is operated directly through the machine CNC without an additional external control system.

Engineering evaluation

Pallet handling moves an already fixtured job into the machine. It does not pick loose blanks. Assess the pallet interface, fixture height, workpiece envelope and tool access before choosing storage capacity.

For mixed production, connect each pallet identity to the correct fixture, program and clamping state. Ten storage positions do not by themselves establish unattended running time; tool availability, chip removal and exception handling also matter.

Selection conditions and evidence limits

These are dated manufacturer specifications, not New Partner delivery results or a guarantee of current availability. Confirm compatibility, options and load definitions with DMG MORI for the ordered configuration.

Application questions

Is 250 kg the standard PH 150 load rating?

No. The cited publication gives 150 kg and identifies 250 kg as optional.

Can the ten-pallet layout use the stated 400 mm pallets?

The cited layouts pair ten positions with 320 × 320 mm pallets and six positions with 400 × 400 mm pallets; do not combine them.
