DMG Mori NHX5000 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2016 DMG Mori NHX5000 is a compact horizontal machining center engineered for high-precision and high-speed machining across automotive, aerospace, and tool manufacturing industries. This machine delivers exceptional stability, precision, and dynamic performance in a space-efficient footprint of approximately 158.2 square feet, making it ideal for facilities with limited floor space. The NHX5000 features a robust construction with a thick, high-rigidity bed and stepped X-axis guideways that ensure superior workpiece holding and stable machining operations. The machine's three-point support structure minimizes susceptibility to ground conditions and facilitates rapid installation and leveling adjustments. Equipped with a Siemens Sinumerik 840D CNC control system, this unit provides 40-tool capacity with rapid tool changes for continuous production workflows. The spindle operates at a maximum speed of 12,000 RPM with 20 HP motor power, delivering 76.7 foot-pounds of torque for demanding cutting applications. Travel distances of 20.5 inches on both X and Y axes with 19.7 inches on the Z axis accommodate a wide range of workpiece sizes and geometries. Direct scale feedback systems with 0.00025-micrometer resolution enable ultra-precise positioning and repeatability. The machine's rapid traverse rate reaches 2,352 inches per minute, maximizing productivity and reducing cycle times. Advanced cooling systems and multi-sensor compensation technology maintain thermal stability during extended production runs. Weighing 11,000 pounds, the NHX5000 combines rigid construction with efficient chip evacuation systems, supporting reliable, consistent performance in complex machining tasks for high-volume and precision-critical applications.
