DMG Mori Seiki NHX 4000 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2013 DMG Mori Seiki NHX-4000 is a high-precision horizontal machining center designed for complex multi-axis production work. This machine features a robust construction with a thick, high-rigidity bed and a 3-point support structure that delivers exceptional stability and precision during machining operations. The spindle system incorporates a 40-taper configuration with a maximum speed of 12,000 RPM and delivers 40 horsepower with 76.7 foot-pounds of torque, enabling efficient cutting across a wide range of materials including steel, aluminum, and non-metallic compounds. The NHX-4000 provides substantial working envelope capabilities with X and Y-axis travels of 22 inches each and Z-axis travel of 26 inches, accommodating workpieces up to 35.4 inches in height and 881.8 pounds in weight on the 15.7-inch square pallet. The machine achieves rapid traverse rates of 2,352 inches per minute on X, Y, and Z axes with cutting feedrates reaching 984 inches per minute, complemented by rapid acceleration capabilities of 1.2g for dynamic performance. This model is equipped with a 40-station high-speed tool changer featuring 0.9-second tool change times, enabling rapid tool transitions for complex machining sequences. Additional features include a full 4th axis (B-axis) with 0.001-degree indexing precision, through-spindle coolant delivery, twin pallet changer for continuous productivity, rigid tapping capability, and integrated coolant flood system with separate tank. The machine operates on 205-220 volt, 3-phase power requiring 45 kVA, with an overall footprint of 165 by 105 by 100 inches and weighing approximately 17,000 pounds.
