DMG Mori CTX gamma 2000 TC vs DMG Mori NTX 2000
DMG Mori vs DMG Mori · Mill-Turn Machines
Summary
The DMG Mori CTX gamma 2000 TC and the DMG Mori NTX 2000 are both mill-turn machines for shafts and chuck parts with milled features. The figures that can be compared cover travels, bar capacity and workpiece length, and on every one of them the DMG Mori CTX gamma 2000 TC is the larger machine.
It takes workpieces up to 2,000 mm (78.7 in) long against 1,538 mm (60.6 in), with 2,050 mm (80.7 in) of Z travel against 1,562 mm (61.5 in). Y travel is 420 mm (16.5 in) against 300 mm (11.8 in), X travel 800 mm (31.5 in) against 675 mm (26.6 in), and bar capacity 127 mm (5 in) against 65 mm (2.6 in). The DMG Mori NTX 2000 leads on none of these rows; its case is that many parts need no more than it offers.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | DMG Mori CTX gamma 2000 TC | DMG Mori NTX 2000 |
|---|---|---|
| X-Axis Travel | 800 mm (31.5 in) ▲ | 675 mm (26.6 in) |
| Y-Axis Travel | 420 mm (16.5 in) ▲ | 300 mm (11.8 in) |
| Z-Axis Travel | 2,050 mm (80.7 in) ▲ | 1,562 mm (61.5 in) |
| Bar Capacity | 127 mm (5 in) ▲ | 65 mm (2.6 in) |
| Max Workpiece Length | 2,000 mm (78.7 in) ▲ | 1,538 mm (60.6 in) |
Advantages
DMG Mori CTX gamma 2000 TC
- Workpieces up to 2,000 mm (78.7 in) long against 1,538 mm (60.6 in)
- 127 mm (5 in) bar capacity against 65 mm (2.6 in)
- 420 mm (16.5 in) of Y travel against 300 mm (11.8 in) for off-center milling
- 800 mm (31.5 in) of X travel against 675 mm (26.6 in)
DMG Mori NTX 2000
- Sized for shafts up to 1,538 mm (60.6 in) and bar up to 65 mm (2.6 in), where the longer machine's capacity would go unused
- Suited to simultaneous 5-axis machining on turned parts and to bar work finished on six faces with its second spindle
Verdict
Choose by part length and bar size. Shops turning shafts and rolls longer than 1,538 mm (60.6 in), feeding bar above 65 mm (2.6 in), or needing more than 300 mm (11.8 in) of Y travel need the DMG Mori CTX gamma 2000 TC, which goes to 2,000 mm (78.7 in), 127 mm (5 in) and 420 mm (16.5 in). Shops whose parts sit inside the smaller figures can consider the DMG Mori NTX 2000, though the published rows give it no lead of its own.
