How much does the DMG Mori CLX 350 cost?

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the DMG Mori CLX 350 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.

Overview

The DMG MORI CLX 350 is a universal lathe for parts up to 320 mm (12.6 in) in diameter and 530 mm (20.9 in) long, with a 65 mm (2.6 in) bar capacity as standard. Travels are 242.5 mm (9.5 in) in X, 80 mm (3.1 in) in Y and 540 mm (21.3 in) in Z, and DMG MORI gives the footprint as 53.8 ft².

DMG MORI describes the machine with a sub spindle and a Y-axis for complete machining. The main spindle drive is rated 22.1 hp and 123.9 ft lb, both at 40% DC, with a speed of up to 5,000 rpm. The sub spindle is an integrated motor spindle, the ISM 36, with 16.9 hp and 45.7 ft lb at 40% DC and the same 5,000 rpm limit. It has a little over a third of the main spindle's torque. That fits its job, which is to take the part over for rear-face machining once the heavy cuts are done.

The Y-axis has a travel range of ± 1.6 in. That is enough to mill flats and keyways and to drill off-centre on the lateral surface of a bar-size part, but a wide flat on a part near the 320 mm (12.6 in) limit is out of its reach.

For bar work, three items have to be on the order. The bar capacity itself is standard, but the automation interface for a bar feeder is an option, and so is the part catcher, which takes parts up to ø2.6 x 7.9 in and 6.6 lb. Longer or heavier parts have to leave the machine another way.

The control is a choice between a 19 in multi-touch panel with SIEMENS and the 19 in DMG MORI SLIMline panel with FANUC. One size up, the CLX 450 has 276 mm (10.9 in) of X, 120 mm (4.7 in) of Y and 830 mm (32.7 in) of Z.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Main spindle drive rated 22.1 hp and 123.9 ft lb (40% DC), with a speed of up to 5,000 rpm
Sub spindle ISM 36 with 16.9 hp (40% DC) and up to 5,000 rpm for rear-face machining
65 mm (2.6 in) bar capacity as standard
Footprint of 53.8 ft² for a machine that takes 320 mm (12.6 in) diameter parts
Y-axis with a travel range of ± 1.6 in for milling on the lateral surface
Choice of SIEMENS or FANUC control, each with a 19 in panel

Limitations

The sub spindle is rated 45.7 ft lb (40% DC), a little over a third of the 123.9 ft lb of the main spindle
Y travel is 80 mm (3.1 in); the CLX 450 has 120 mm (4.7 in)
The part catcher is optional and limited to parts of ø2.6 x 7.9 in and 6.6 lb
The bar feeder interface is an option, so bar automation is not part of the base machine
DMG MORI's Highlights do not say whether the sub spindle and Y-axis belong to every version; confirm the configuration quoted

Best For

Bar-fed parts from stock up to 65 mm (2.6 in) Parts finished on the rear face with the sub spindle Chuck parts up to 320 mm (12.6 in) in diameter and 530 mm (20.9 in) long Turned parts with flats, keyways and cross holes within ± 1.6 in of Y Shops short of floor space, given the 53.8 ft² footprint

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How powerful are the spindles of the CLX 350?

The main spindle drive is rated 22.1 hp and 123.9 ft lb at 40% DC, with a speed of up to 5,000 rpm. The sub spindle, an integrated motor spindle called ISM 36, is rated 16.9 hp and 45.7 ft lb at 40% DC and also runs to 5,000 rpm. DMG MORI's US page gives these figures in hp and ft lb only.

02 What size parts does the CLX 350 handle?

Parts up to 320 mm (12.6 in) in diameter and 530 mm (20.9 in) long. Bar up to 65 mm (2.6 in) feeds through the spindle as standard. Travels are 242.5 mm (9.5 in) in X, 80 mm (3.1 in) in Y and 540 mm (21.3 in) in Z.

03 Is the CLX 350 ready for a bar feeder?

The 65 mm (2.6 in) bar capacity is standard, but the automation interface is an option. DMG MORI describes it as compatible with most bar feeders. A part catcher is optional too, for parts up to ø2.6 x 7.9 in with a weight of 6.6 lb, so specify both for unattended bar work.

04 Which controls are offered on the CLX 350?

Two. DMG MORI offers a 19 in multi-touch control panel with SIEMENS, or the 19 in DMG MORI SLIMline control panel with FANUC, which it lists with 3D simulation for contour verification. The DMG MORI SMARTkey, personalized and with 8 GB of additional storage, is listed with both.

05 How does the CLX 350 compare with the CLX 450?

More length and more Y. The CLX 450 lists 276 mm (10.9 in) of X, 120 mm (4.7 in) of Y and 830 mm (32.7 in) of Z, against 242.5 mm (9.5 in), 80 mm (3.1 in) and 540 mm (21.3 in) on the CLX 350. The CLX 350 is the choice when parts stay within 530 mm (20.9 in) of length.
