DMG MORI USA, INC. NLX 2000 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The DMG MORI USA NLX 2000 is a compact horizontal machining center designed for precision turning and milling operations on mid-sized workpieces. The machine accommodates maximum turning diameters of 15.200 inches with turning lengths up to 20.300 inches, utilizing an 8.000-inch chuck and supporting bar diameters up to 2.600 inches. The primary spindle operates at 5,000 RPM with 20.10 horsepower, with optional speeds reaching 6,000 RPM, providing adequate torque for heavy-duty cutting applications. A secondary sub-spindle rotating at 6,000 RPM enables simultaneous back-side machining capabilities for enhanced efficiency. The machine features a turret-based tool carrier accommodating up to 20 turning tools, with an additional rotary tool operating at 10,000 RPM and 5.0 horsepower for auxiliary milling operations. The three-axis configuration delivers X-axis travel of 10.200 inches, Z-axis travel of 23.220 inches, and rapid traverse rates of 1,181 inches per minute across all axes, ensuring quick positioning and reduced cycle times. The single simultaneous cutting tool constraint allows focused, controlled machining operations. This configuration makes the NLX 2000 suitable for automotive components, hydraulic fittings, and complex turned parts requiring integrated milling features, offering a balanced combination of spindle power, tool capacity, and rapid positioning for small-to-medium production runs.
