Machine Comparison
DMG Mori ALX 2000 vs DMG Mori SPRINT 65
DMG Mori vs DMG Mori · CNC Lathes
Summary
The DMG Mori ALX 2000 and the DMG Mori SPRINT 65 both take 65 mm (2.6 in) bar, but they are laid out for different work. The DMG Mori ALX 2000 is a CNC lathe for bar and chuck parts with longer travels. The DMG Mori SPRINT 65 is a production machine that works parts with several turrets across main and counter spindle.
The table covers travels and workpiece limits only. There the DMG Mori ALX 2000 leads in each row that differs: 260 mm (10.2 in) of X travel against 165 mm (6.5 in), 575 mm (22.6 in) of Z against 420 mm (16.5 in), 100 mm (3.9 in) of Y against 80 mm (3.1 in), and a 574 mm (22.6 in) maximum workpiece length against 420 mm (16.5 in). It has no rows for turrets or spindles, which is where the DMG Mori SPRINT 65 is aimed.

| Y-Axis Travel | 100 mm (3.9 in) ▲ | 80 mm (3.1 in) |
| Z-Axis Travel | 575 mm (22.6 in) ▲ | 420 mm (16.5 in) |
| Bar Capacity | 65 mm (2.6 in) | 65 mm (2.6 in) |
| Max Workpiece Length | 574 mm (22.6 in) ▲ | 420 mm (16.5 in) |
Advantages
DMG Mori ALX 2000
- 574 mm (22.6 in) maximum workpiece length against 420 mm (16.5 in)
- 260 mm (10.2 in) of X travel against 165 mm (6.5 in)
- 100 mm (3.9 in) of Y-axis travel against 80 mm (3.1 in)
DMG Mori SPRINT 65
- Laid out for production parts worked by three turrets across main and counter spindle
- TWIN design with two turrets for parts up to 420 mm (16.5 in) long
- Suited to bar work needing heavier roughing on the main spindle
Verdict
Choose the DMG Mori ALX 2000 for longer bar and chuck parts: it offers 574 mm of workpiece length against 420 mm and 260 mm of X travel against 165 mm. Choose the DMG Mori SPRINT 65 for volume production of bar parts within 420 mm (16.5 in), where several turrets working on main and counter spindle matter more than travel. Both are limited to 65 mm (2.6 in) bar.
