DMG MORI NHX8000 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The DMG MORI NHX8000 is a high-precision horizontal machining center designed for heavy-duty, high-speed machining of large and difficult-to-cut workpieces, primarily used in industries such as construction machinery, aerospace, shipbuilding, and energy. It features a large work envelope with a maximum workpiece diameter of 1,450 mm (57.1 inches) and a maximum pallet size of 800 mm x 800 mm (31.5" x 31.5"), supporting heavy loads up to 3,000 kg. The machine incorporates DCG (Driven at the Center of Gravity) technology and a box-in-box mechanical design to optimize vibration control and stability, enabling precise and productive machining even with extended axis travel. The NHX8000 has extensive axis travels: approximately 51.2" (X), 47.2" (Y), and 53.1" (Z). Its spindle system, based on FANUC 31iB CELOS ERGOline TOUCH control, delivers robust performance through a powerMASTER spindle option offering up to 55 kW (75 HP) spindle output and a maximum spindle torque of 1,413 Nm, facilitating a 40% boost in heavy cutting capacity compared to prior models. Spindle speed reaches up to 10,000 RPM with optional higher ranges available. A 4th axis rotary table enhances flexibility, providing 1/1000 indexing accuracy at 100 RPM, enabling complex 4-axis machining tasks. Tool capacity accommodates up to 100 tools via an automatic tool changer with advanced probing systems for workpiece and tool measurement. Rapid traverse and cutting feed rates reach 50 m/min, ensuring efficient cycle times. Overall, the NHX8000 integrates advanced mechanical construction, cutting-edge spindle technology, and modern control software to deliver consistent high productivity and precision for large-scale machining operations.
