DMG MORI NHX5500-2nd GEN HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The DMG MORI NHX 5500 2nd Generation is a high-rigidity horizontal machining center specifically designed for No. 50 taper spindle applications and optimized for mass production of large workpieces. This machine features a robust bed construction with a thick, high-rigidity frame that minimizes vibration during machining, enabling stable heavy-duty cutting operations. The NHX 5500 accommodates workpieces up to 800 mm in diameter and 1,100 mm in height, with a maximum workpiece weight capacity of 1,000 kg. The machine's axis travels measure 800 mm on both X and Y axes, and 880 mm on the Z-axis, providing substantial machining envelope flexibility. Equipped with the powerMASTER spindle, the NHX 5500 delivers a maximum spindle speed of 12,000 min⁻¹ and impressive torque capabilities up to 807 Nm, with rapid traverse rates of 2,362.2 ipm across all axes. The control system utilizes CELOS ERGOline TOUCH F31IB for intuitive operation and programming. The machine features a full 4th axis rotary table capability, enhancing versatility for complex part geometries. With a pallet size of 400 × 400 mm (19.68 inches) and support for up to 40 pallets in the space-saving handling system, the NHX 5500 enables flexible production of 50 to 200 workpieces daily. High-precision equipment includes high-resolution direct scale feedback with full closed-loop control on all axes, ensuring repeatability and accuracy. The machine is ideally suited for automotive and construction machinery applications requiring reliable tool changes, draw-back function for through-spindle coolant delivery, and consistent precision in high-volume manufacturing environments.
