Machine Comparison
DMG Mori ALX 2000 vs Nakamura-Tome SC-200
DMG Mori vs Nakamura-Tome · CNC Lathes
Summary
The DMG Mori ALX 2000 and the Nakamura-Tome SC-200 are both CNC lathes for bar and chuck work, and both take the same bar: 65 mm (2.6 in) on the DMG Mori ALX 2000 and φ65mm on the Nakamura-Tome SC-200. The makers publish few comparable figures for this pair, so the table cannot separate them on spindle, turret or travel.
The only other row is floor space, and the two makers state it differently. DMG Mori gives an area of 2.7 m2 (29.1 ft2) for the ALX 2000 | 300 turning specification. Nakamura-Tome gives a width of 3,195mm, a depth of 1,967mm and a height of 2,225mm at the highest moving part. The two are not stated on the same basis, so the table does not show which machine takes less room.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | DMG Mori ALX 2000 | Nakamura-Tome SC-200 |
|---|---|---|
| Bar Capacity | 65 mm (2.6 in) | φ65mm |
| Floor Space | 2.7 m2 (29.1 ft2) for the ALX 2000 | 300 turning specification | height:2,225mm(Maximum height of moving part) / width:3,195mm / depth:1,967mm |
Advantages
DMG Mori ALX 2000
- Milling and Y-axis specifications can be ordered for mixed turning and milling work
- Fits cells where a CL2000 is being replaced in the same space
Nakamura-Tome SC-200
- Suited to short chucked and bar-fed parts with drilled and tapped features
- Full outline published for layout planning: 3,195mm wide, 1,967mm deep, 2,225mm high at the highest moving part
Verdict
The table gives no basis for ranking these two lathes: both take 65 mm bar, and the floor-space figures are stated on different bases. Choose by configuration instead. The DMG Mori ALX 2000 suits shops that want one platform for bar and chuck work with the choice of milling or Y-axis specifications, or that are replacing a CL2000 in the same space. The Nakamura-Tome SC-200 suits short chucked and bar-fed parts with drilled and tapped features.
