DMG MORI USA, INC. NHX 4000 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The DMG MORI NHX 4000 is a high-precision horizontal machining center designed for dynamic, stable, and efficient manufacturing. It features a compact footprint with a table size of 15.7" x 15.7" capable of supporting workpieces up to 882 lbs. The machine offers 3-axis travel of 22" in X and Y and 26" in Z with rapid traverse rates of 2,364 ipm across all axes, enabling fast and precise positioning. Its spindle is a #40 taper horizontal type, standard at 15,000 rpm with an optional upgrade to 20,000 rpm, delivering 29.5 HP (30-minute rating) for versatile high-speed machining. The NHX 4000 utilizes a 40-tool automatic tool changer (ATC), expandable up to 123 tools, ensuring extended unattended operation and flexibility. A standard rotary table enhances workpiece support, while pallet changers are available optionally to boost productivity. The machine incorporates advanced high-rigidity construction with a thick bed and stepped X-axis guideways, providing superior stability during cutting operations. Precision is further ensured with direct scale feedback systems offering sub-micron resolution. Options like through-spindle coolant, spindle probing, and compatibility with automation tools enhance the capability for complex and high-efficiency machining processes. Control is user-friendly with CNC solutions from DMG MORI or providers like Siemens and FANUC. This machining center is well-suited for industries requiring robust, high-speed horizontal milling with high repeatability and capacity for medium to large workpieces.
