The DMG MORI GM 16|6 is an industrial-grade CNC Vertical Machining Centers (VMC) powered by the Standard CNC. a top spindle speed of 9,000 RPM, and a 3-axis kinematic layout. It supports standardized digital factory monitoring via MTConnect.
DMG MORI GM 16|6 multi-spindle automatic: 16 mm bar, 80 mm (3.1 in) part length, 9,000 rpm main spindles, cycle times under 0.9 second.

Our best estimate for the DMG Mori GM 16|6 is $500,000 - $750,000. This is an estimate for a multi-spindle automatics in this class, not a quote from DMG Mori; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially.

Bar up to 16 mm and workpieces up to 80 mm (3.1 in) long. The slides travel 28 mm (1.1 in) in X and 45 mm (1.8 in) in Z. Since the Z travel is shorter than the maximum workpiece length, ask DMG MORI how the longest parts are produced.
The main spindles run at 9,000 rpm, and the minimum cycle time can be adjusted to under 0.9 second. DMG MORI states the same minimum for double drop production. Whether a given part reaches that depends on its longest single operation.
It has a Monoblock structure in a frame or portal design with overhead bracing. The spindle drum is locked by a Hirth coupling. Workpieces are machined from the front without angle tools, the front-working tools are guided on the central block, and all spindle bearings are oil-cooled.
Size. The GM 16|6 takes 16 mm bar and 80 mm (3.1 in) workpieces with 28 mm (1.1 in) of X and 45 mm (1.8 in) of Z. The GM 20|6 takes 25 mm (1 in) bar and 100 mm (3.9 in) workpieces with 42 mm (1.7 in) of X and 50 mm (2 in) of Z.
Three things the manufacturer's page leaves open: the spindle power, the type of control, and how working strokes and cycle time are adjusted in practice. The page does state that the stroke of every station is adjusted independently and steplessly, and that four compound-rest slides do the radial or straight turning.
