Machine Comparison
DMG Mori NHX 10000 vs DMG Mori NHX 4000 4th Generation
DMG Mori vs DMG Mori · Horizontal Machining Centers
Summary
The DMG Mori NHX 10000 and the DMG Mori NHX 4000 4th Generation are horizontal machining centers of very different sizes, and they serve different jobs. The DMG Mori NHX 10000 takes workpieces up to 3,000 kg (6,613.9 lb); the DMG Mori NHX 4000 4th Generation takes up to 400 kg (881.8 lb).
The DMG Mori NHX 10000 has 1,700 x 1,400 x 1,510 mm (66.9 x 55.1 x 59.4 in) of X/Y/Z travel against 560 x 560 x 660 mm (22 x 22 x 26 in), about three times the X travel. The table for this pair covers travels and load only. The DMG Mori NHX 4000 4th Generation is the machine for high-volume small parts and automated cells, where the larger envelope would go unused.
