Machine Comparison
DMG Mori INH 80 vs DMG Mori NH 5000 DCG
DMG Mori vs DMG Mori · Horizontal Machining Centers
Summary
The DMG Mori INH 80 and the DMG Mori NH 5000 DCG are both horizontal machining centers, but they are in different size classes and serve different jobs. The DMG Mori INH 80 is a large machine for castings and weldments; the DMG Mori NH 5000 DCG is a medium machine for tombstone work.
The DMG Mori INH 80 travels 1,400 mm (55.1 in) in X against 730 mm (28.7 in), and 1,350 mm (53.1 in) in Z against 850 mm (33.5 in), with more Y travel as well. Its load limit is four times as high: 2,000 kg (4,409.2 lb) against 500 kg (1,102.3 lb). The table for this pair covers travels and load only, so it says nothing about spindles or tools.
Specifications Comparison

| Z-Axis Travel | 1,350 mm (53.1 in) ▲ | 850 mm (33.5 in) |
| Max Table / Workpiece Load | 2,000 kg (4,409.2 lb) ▲ | 500 kg (1,102.3 lb) |
Advantages
DMG Mori INH 80
- 1,400 mm (55.1 in) of X travel against 730 mm (28.7 in)
- 1,350 mm (53.1 in) of Z travel against 850 mm (33.5 in)
- 2,000 kg (4,409.2 lb) load against 500 kg (1,102.3 lb)
DMG Mori NH 5000 DCG
- Sized for medium tombstone work within 730 mm (28.7 in) of X, with loads up to 500 kg (1,102.3 lb)
- 850 mm (33.5 in) of Z for deep boring and long-reach tooling on medium parts
Verdict
Choose by part size. The DMG Mori INH 80 is for large castings and weldments up to 2,000 kg (4,409.2 lb) including fixtures, and for 5-axis work on big parts that need 1,400 mm (55.1 in) of X. The DMG Mori NH 5000 DCG fits medium multi-face parts on a tombstone, up to 500 kg (1,102.3 lb), and deep boring within its 850 mm (33.5 in) of Z. A part that suits one will rarely suit the other.
