Technical Description
The DMG MORI NHX-5000 2nd Generation Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance, compact CNC machine engineered for precision, rigidity, and dynamic machining in demanding production environments. Featuring rapid traverse rates of 2,362 inches per minute across all axes (X, Y, Z), the NHX-5000 delivers exceptional speed and efficiency, enabling fast chip-to-chip times and high throughput for both batch and mass production applications. The machine is equipped with a robust full 4th axis, allowing for complex multi-sided machining and enhanced flexibility in part processing. With a maximum table loading weight of 1,543 lbs, it is capable of handling large, heavy workpieces with ease, making it ideal for industries such as automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery. The NHX-5000 is powered by a high-speed spindle, standard at 15,000 rpm, with options for up to 20,000 rpm, ensuring both high-speed and high-torque performance for a wide range of materials and cutting operations. The machine’s rigid bed and stepped guideways minimize vibration, supporting stable heavy-duty cutting and long-term accuracy. Advanced features include direct drive table technology for rapid positioning, direct scale feedback for micron-level precision, and a compact footprint for efficient shop floor utilization. The NHX-5000 2nd Generation is further enhanced with DMG MORI’s CELOS control system, providing intuitive operation, seamless connectivity, and extensive automation compatibility. With spindle usage recorded at 724 hours and 1,789 hours, this machine offers proven reliability and productivity for continuous, high-precision manufacturing.
