Machine Comparison
DMG Mori i 30 V vs DMG Mori NV 4000 DCG
DMG Mori vs DMG Mori · Vertical Machining Centers
Summary
The DMG Mori i 30 V and the DMG Mori NV 4000 DCG are both vertical machining centers. The DMG Mori NV 4000 DCG is the larger machine on every row of the table; the DMG Mori i 30 V is the smaller one, aimed at small parts made in quantity.
Travels are 600 x 400 x 400 mm on the DMG Mori NV 4000 DCG against 400 x 270 x 280 mm on the DMG Mori i 30 V. The DMG Mori NV 4000 DCG also carries 350 kg (771.6 lb) against 150 kg (330.7 lb) and takes workpieces up to 750 mm (29.5 in) long against 600 mm (23.6 in). The table for this pair lists travels and workpiece limits only, so nothing here separates the two on spindle or tool figures.

Advantages
DMG Mori i 30 V
- Sized for small parts made in quantity within 400 x 270 x 280 mm
- Suited to lines of machines placed side by side, where width per machine matters
DMG Mori NV 4000 DCG
- 600 mm (23.6 in) of X travel against 400 mm (15.7 in)
- 400 mm (15.7 in) of Y and Z travel against 270 mm (10.6 in) and 280 mm (11 in)
- 350 kg (771.6 lb) load against 150 kg (330.7 lb)
- Workpieces up to 750 mm (29.5 in) long against 600 mm (23.6 in)
Verdict
On the published figures the DMG Mori NV 4000 DCG is the choice whenever the part needs more than 400 x 270 x 280 mm or weighs more than 150 kg (330.7 lb); it suits precision parts where roundness and surface finish matter. The DMG Mori i 30 V fits small, light parts made in quantity on lines of machines placed side by side. Pick it when the work fits its envelope and floor width is the limit.
