DMG MORI USA, INC. NLX 3000 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The DMG MORI NLX 3000 is a high-rigidity, high-precision CNC turning center engineered for complex parts machining across automotive, aerospace, and construction machinery industries. This universal turning machine features a maximum workpiece diameter of 16.9 inches with a turning length capacity of 49.6 inches, accommodating bar stock up to 4 inches in diameter. The machine is equipped with a 12-inch chuck and operates with a main spindle delivering 3,000 RPM at 33.5 HP. The integrated 12-station turret supports both traditional turning and advanced milling operations through its built-in motor turret (BMT) technology, which provides rotary tool capabilities at speeds up to 10,000 RPM. The three-axis configuration delivers rapid traverse rates of 1,181 IPM across X, Y, and Z axes, with travel distances of 10.2 inches (X-axis), 4.7 inches (Y-axis), and 32.28 inches (Z-axis). Advanced features include a programmable tailstock, digital thermal displacement control through coolant circulation, and servo-driven positioning for enhanced machining precision. The machine's robust bed construction and high-rigidity slideways minimize vibration, ensuring superior surface finishes on difficult-to-cut materials and intermittent machining applications. Mitsubishi CNC control systems provide user-friendly operation with programmable capabilities, making this versatile platform ideal for high-efficiency production of complex-shaped components requiring simultaneous turning and milling operations.
