Overview

The DMG MORI CLX 750 is a long-bed universal lathe. The listed figures give a 1,290 mm (50.8 in) maximum turning length on 1,350 mm (53.1 in) of Z travel, a 400 mm (15.7 in) maximum turning diameter and a 65 mm (2.6 in) bar capacity. It is not in DMG MORI's current lineup and the listed figures are unconfirmed, so check them against the documentation of the machine in question.

The main spindle is listed at 18.5 kW (24.8 hp) and 400 Nm, with a 3,500 RPM top speed, an A2-6 nose and a 254 mm (10 in) chuck. That is a spindle for shaft work at moderate speeds, not for small diameters that want high rpm. Z travel is more than six times the 210 mm (8.3 in) of X, so the layout favours length over large facing diameters.

Tooling sits in a 12-station VDI 40 turret. Driven tools are an option, listed at 5,000 RPM and 20 Nm, which covers cross drilling and light milling and little beyond that. Rapids are 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in X and 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) in Z on linear guideways, and the machine weighs 5,200 kg (11,464 lb). The control is listed as CELOS with Siemens 840D solutionline or Fanuc 31i-B. For comparison, the CLX 450 has 830 mm (32.7 in) of Z travel against 1,350 mm (53.1 in) here.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

1,290 mm (50.8 in) maximum turning length on 1,350 mm (53.1 in) of Z travel
Main spindle listed at 18.5 kW (24.8 hp) and 400 Nm
12-station VDI 40 turret, with driven tools at 5,000 RPM available as an option
Rapid traverse of 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in X and 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) in Z on linear guideways

Limitations

Driven tools are optional, and their listed torque is 20 Nm
Spindle speed stops at 3,500 RPM, which limits surface speed on small diameters
Bar capacity is 65 mm (2.6 in) against a 400 mm (15.7 in) maximum turning diameter, so larger work has to be chucked
Not in DMG MORI's current lineup, and the listed figures are unconfirmed; they show no Y-axis travel and no second spindle

Best For

Shafts up to 1,290 mm (50.8 in) long Turning in steel with 400 Nm of spindle torque Bar work from stock up to 65 mm (2.6 in) Chuck parts up to 400 mm (15.7 in) in diameter

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is the CLX 750 in DMG MORI's current lineup?

No, it is not in the current lineup, and the figures listed here are unconfirmed. For a used CLX 750, take the travels, spindle data and options from the machine's own documentation. The CLX 350 and CLX 450 are shorter machines, with 540 mm (21.3 in) and 830 mm (32.7 in) of Z travel.

02 How long a part can the CLX 750 turn?

The listed maximum turning length is 1,290 mm (50.8 in), on 1,350 mm (53.1 in) of Z travel. Maximum turning diameter is 400 mm (15.7 in) and X travel is 210 mm (8.3 in). Bar up to 65 mm (2.6 in) passes through the spindle.

03 Does the CLX 750 have driven tools?

Only as an option. The 12-station VDI 40 turret is listed with driven tools at 5,000 RPM and 20 Nm, both marked optional. A machine without that option is a two-axis lathe, so check the turret on any machine offered.

04 What spindle and control does the CLX 750 have?

The listed main spindle is 18.5 kW (24.8 hp) and 400 Nm with a top speed of 3,500 RPM, an A2-6 nose and a 254 mm (10 in) chuck. The control is listed as CELOS with Siemens 840D solutionline or Fanuc 31i-B, so confirm which one a given machine carries.
