DMG Mori ALX 2000 vs DN Solutions LEO 1600
DMG Mori vs DN Solutions · CNC Lathes
Summary
The DMG Mori ALX 2000 and the DN Solutions LEO 1600 are both CNC lathes, but the makers publish few comparable figures for this pair. The table has two rows: rapid traverse and floor space.
Rapid traverse is shared at 30 m/min, quoted for the X- and Z-axis on the DMG Mori ALX 2000. Floor space is given in different forms: 2.7 m2 (29.1 ft2) for the DMG Mori ALX 2000 | 300 turning specification, and overall dimensions of 1,850 × 1,690 × 1,635 mm (73 × 67 × 64 in) for the DN Solutions LEO 1600. By typical use, the DMG Mori ALX 2000 covers bar-fed and chuck work with milling as an ordered specification, and the DN Solutions LEO 1600 covers small-part production turning.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | DMG Mori ALX 2000 | DN Solutions LEO 1600 |
|---|---|---|
| Rapid Traverse | 30 m/min (1,181.1 ipm), X- and Z-axis | 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) |
| Floor Space | 2.7 m2 (29.1 ft2) for the ALX 2000 | 300 turning specification | 1,850 × 1,690 × 1,635 mm (73 × 67 × 64 in) |
Advantages
DMG Mori ALX 2000
- Covers bar-fed parts and chuck work in one machine
- Milling or a Y-axis can be ordered as a specification for mixed turning and milling
DN Solutions LEO 1600
- Aimed at small-part production turning in brass, aluminum and mild steel
- Suited to startup and job shops adding a first or second CNC lathe on a budget
Verdict
The two published rows do not separate these lathes: both rapid at 30 m/min, and the floor space figures are not stated on the same basis. Decide on the work instead. The DMG Mori ALX 2000 fits shops that run bar-fed and chuck parts and may want milling or a Y-axis. The DN Solutions LEO 1600 fits high-volume turning of small fittings, bushings and connectors, and shops adding a first lathe on a budget.
