DMG MORI USA, INC. NLX 6000 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The DMG MORI USA, INC. NLX 6000 is a high-precision, high-rigidity horizontal machining center designed for heavy-duty turning and milling of large-diameter shafts and complex workpieces. With a maximum turning diameter of 36.2 inches and a turning length of 78.7 inches, it supports a main spindle chuck diameter of 24 inches and a maximum swing of 39.4 inches, accommodating bar stock up to 4.6 inches in diameter. The machine features a single main spindle capable of 1,000 RPM and 73.8 HP, delivering robust performance for demanding applications. The turret-based primary tool carrier holds up to 12 turning tools and 12 rotary tools, with rotary tool speeds reaching 10,000 RPM, enabling versatile multi-axis machining. The NLX 6000 operates on three axes (X, Y, Z), with X-axis travel of 10.2 inches, Y-axis travel of 4.72 inches, and Z-axis travel of 32.28 inches, all supported by rapid traverse rates of 787 inches per minute for high-speed positioning. The machine integrates BMT (Built-in Motor Turret) technology, minimizing heat generation and vibration for improved milling accuracy and cutting performance comparable to machining centers with a No. 40 taper spindle. Enhanced by a Magnescale absolute linear measuring system, the NLX 6000 ensures superior precision with high-resolution feedback and resistance to thermal displacement, oil, and condensation. Its rigid bed structure, large-diameter ball screws, and optimized chip disposal system support reliable, high-productivity machining of difficult-to-cut materials.
