DMG MORI USA, INC. NH 5000 DCG HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The DMG MORI NH 5000 DCG is a high-precision horizontal machining center featuring a 19.7" x 19.7" (500 mm square) table capable of supporting workpieces up to 1,543 lbs. It employs DMG MORI's proprietary DCG (Driven at the Center of Gravity) technology which enhances vibration control and machining accuracy by driving structural parts at their center of gravity. The machine offers 4-axis motion with travels of 28.7" in X and Y, and 33.5" in Z, all with rapid traverse speeds of up to 1,968 inches per minute, enabling high-speed, efficient machining. The horizontal spindle runs up to 14,000 RPM (optionally 20,000 RPM) powered by a 33.5 HP (30-minute rating) motor, supporting high-speed cutting and improved tool life. The machine includes a 40-tool automatic tool changer (ATC), with an optional increase to 360 tools, and a standard rotary table for pallet indexing. Built with a compact, space-saving Box-in-Box structure, the NH 5000 DCG achieves high rigidity and thermal stability, aided by spindle cooling via stator coil oil circulation. Optional features include a pallet changer and high-accuracy direct-drive motors (DDM) for backlash-free rotary axis operation. Control is typically managed by MAPPS IV for enhanced programming and operation. The machine is suited for demanding industries such as automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing requiring tight tolerances and high productivity.
