DMG MORI USA, INC. NZX 1500 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The DMG MORI NZX 1500 is a high-precision, multi-axis horizontal machining center designed for complex production turning applications. It features twin main spindles with a maximum turning diameter of 12.6 inches and a maximum turning length of 31.9 inches, accommodating bar diameters up to 2.0 inches. Each spindle delivers 29.5 HP with speeds up to 5,000 RPM, supporting efficient simultaneous machining. The machine incorporates a primary tool carrier capable of holding up to 16 turning and 16 rotary tools, with a rotary tool motor delivering 7.4 HP at speeds of up to 12,000 RPM. The machine supports the use of up to three simultaneous cutting tools and operates across 12 axes, facilitating highly versatile and precise machining operations. Its robust and compact design incorporates thick, high-rigidity construction with Octagonal Ram Construction (ORC) for excellent thermal stability and minimal deformation. Rapid traverse rates reach 98.4 fpm on X-axes and 164.1 fpm on Z-axes, enhancing cycle times. The NZX 1500 also integrates powerful milling functions on turrets, allowing for 5-sided machining and comprehensive workpiece processing in a single setup. Automation readiness is provided with options for loaders and robotic integration, optimizing production efficiency. Control options include advanced FANUC-based systems with DMG MORI CELOS, supporting intuitive operation and process control. This turning center is well-suited for high-volume, high-precision manufacturing of complex parts requiring multi-axis turning combined with milling capabilities.
