DMG MORI NLX2000Y/500 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC turning center features a robust 10-inch chuck and a 36.4-inch swing, with a maximum turning diameter of 14.4 inches and a machining length of 20.0 inches. It accommodates bar stock up to 2.6 inches in diameter. Powered by a 20 HP spindle motor, it delivers speeds up to 5,000 RPM, supported by a spindle through-hole diameter of 2.9 inches and a spindle bearing inner diameter of 4.7 inches. The machine’s precision is enhanced by live tooling capabilities with rotary tools running up to 10,000 RPM via a 7.5 HP spindle drive motor, using 1.0-inch tool shank diameter holders. A programmable tailstock with 22.2 inches of travel and a 3.1-inch spindle diameter ensures versatility for long parts. The tooling turret offers rapid indexing at 0.25 seconds, while the CNC control is managed by a Celos M730UM system, providing sophisticated multi-axis programming with X-axis travel of 10.2 inches, Z-axis travel of 23.2 inches, and Y-axis travel of ±2.0 inches. Rapid traverse rates on X and Z axes reach 1,181.1 inches per minute, ensuring efficient machining cycles. The machine operates with a 4 HP feed motor and includes a large 58.1-gallon coolant tank for sustained cutting operations. Physically, it occupies a floor space of 111.0 by 81.9 inches, stands 84.4 inches tall, and weighs 11,220 pounds, reflecting its heavy-duty industrial construction designed for high-precision turning tasks with flexible live tool support.
