Automate the CMX 50 U: Easy entry into automated 5-axis machining
Less downtime thanks to offline set-up processes
The DMG MORI CMX 50 U is designed for simple operation and flexible production. However, it is precisely this flexibility that often leads to unplanned downtimes due to manual set-up and frequent interventions. RoboTrex transforms this environment into a clearly structured process: Vises are prepared outside the machine and changed automatically - the machine itself remains consistently in machining mode.
Advantages of the combination:
- Set-up processes are completely removed from the work area of the CMX 50 U
- The simple operating logic of the machine is retained, but is supplemented with process reliability
- Repetitive positioning via zero-point clamping systems reduces operator influences
- Changing components can be processed in a structured manner, without constantly stopping the machine
Less operating effort, clear processes in 5-axis production
The DMG MORI CMX 50 U is often used in environments where flexible production with changing components is required. However, this is precisely where typical challenges arise: high setup percentages, manual interventions and highly operator-dependent processes. With RoboTrex, the CMX 50 U can be automated in a targeted manner without losing the simple operating logic of the machine. Vises are equipped with workpieces outside the machine and automatically changed while machining continues. This reduces set-up times, stabilizes processes and utilizes the machine much more efficiently - especially for small and medium batch sizes.
Your benefits at a glance:
- Can be automated without complex system integration and is quickly ready for use
- Reduced set-up times for frequently changing components
- More stable processes thanks to fewer manual interventions
- Higher machine availability thanks to parallel processes
More machine uptime thanks to automated clamping device change
The DMG MORI CMX 50 U is a compact 5-axis machine designed for flexible production. In practice, however, this potential is often not fully exploited, as manual set-up processes, changing components and unplanned downtimes limit the effective spindle running time. With RoboTrex, these processes are structured in a targeted manner: Prefabricated vices are changed automatically, while set-up processes take place in parallel outside the machine. The CMX 50 U remains in the machining process for longer, non-productive times are reduced and the available machine capacity is utilized significantly better.
Why the combination of CMX 50 U + RoboTrex is convincing
As an economical 5-axis machine, the CMX 50 U offers a solid basis for flexible use in production. In combination with RoboTrex, it creates a clearly structured automation solution that is particularly suitable for companies with changing components and limited resources.
In summary:
- Controlled entry into automated 5-axis production without excessive demands
- Better utilization of existing machine capacities instead of additional investments
- Easy expansion of existing production processes
- Scalable solution, that can grow with increasing requirements
Automate the CMX 50 U now and structure processes
Utilize the full potential of your CMX 50 U by relocating setup processes from the machine and creating clear, reproducible workflows. This allows you to increase the utilization of your machine without introducing additional complexity into production.

Automating the DMG MORI CMX 50 U - Frequently asked questions and answers
How long does it take to install the automation system?
The installation and commissioning by the LANG Technik service technician takes place within a few days. The machine is only restricted for a short time and is not out of operation for an extended period of time.
Is special training necessary for the automation system?
No, the training required is manageable and is limited to just a few hours. The processes are clearly structured so that operators can work safely with the system after a short briefing - even without previous experience in robotics.
Can the CMX 50 U still be operated manually?
Yes, the machine remains accessible at all times. Automation and manual processing can be flexibly combined, depending on the order and workload.
Can RoboTrex also be retrofitted to existing CMX 50 U machines?
Yes, RoboTrex is specially designed for retrofitting. Existing machines can also be integrated into automated production without fundamental modifications.
For which parts and batch sizes is RoboTrex suitable in combination with the CMX 50 U?
The combination really comes into its own with small to medium batch sizes and frequently changing components. By setting up the vises offline, different jobs can be prepared and then processed automatically without having to stop the machine constantly. This makes the solution ideal for flexible production environments and typical job shop applications.
