DMG Mori vs DN Solutions · Mill-Turn Machines
Summary
The DMG Mori CLX 450 TC and the DN Solutions DNX 2100 are both multi-tasking turning machines. The makers publish few comparable figures for this pair, so the table is limited to the main spindle.

Torque is listed at up to 254.5 ft lb for the DMG Mori CLX 450 TC and 326 N-m (240 ft-lb) for the DN Solutions DNX 2100. Travels, bar capacity and tool counts are not available in a form that can be set side by side.

Advantages
DMG Mori CLX 450 TC
- Main spindle torque listed at up to 254.5 ft lb against 240 ft-lb
- B-axis head reaches angled holes and faces on chuck and shaft parts
DN Solutions DNX 2100
- FANUC control and compact layout suit shops moving from two-axis turning to multi-tasking
- Suits medium-volume parts needing turning, cross-hole milling and back-working in one cycle
Verdict
The published rows do not separate these machines: both main spindles reach 5,000 rpm and the torque figures differ only slightly. Choose by the work. The DMG Mori CLX 450 TC suits chuck and shaft parts with angled features and a changing part mix. The DN Solutions DNX 2100 suits job shops stepping up from two-axis lathes that want parts completed in one cycle on a FANUC control.
