Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from DMG Mori. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The DMG MORI CTX 1250 TC is listed as a turn-mill center with a B-axis milling spindle and a counter spindle, for parts up to 700 mm in turning diameter and 1,250 mm in turning length. It is not in DMG MORI's current lineup, and the listed figures are unconfirmed. Use them as a starting point and verify them on the machine itself.

The main spindle is listed at 52 kW and 1,000 Nm with a top speed of 4,000 rpm. The counter spindle also reaches 4,000 rpm, with 35 kW. On the milling side, the B-axis swivels ±120° and carries a 12,000 rpm spindle rated 35 kW and 100 Nm, fed from a 36-tool magazine. The milling torque is a tenth of the main spindle's, so heavy stock removal belongs to turning, and the milling spindle is there for drilling, contouring and finishing at speed.

Y travel is ±175 mm, generous for flats, pockets and off-centre holes on large diameters. The table also lists a 12-station turret with driven tools at 6,000 rpm, so a turret works alongside the milling spindle. Rapids are 30 m/min in X and Z. Positioning accuracy is listed as 0.005 mm with 0.003 mm repeatability, the control as Siemens 840D sl / Fanuc 31i (CELOS), and the machine weight as 28,000 kg, which decides the foundation and the rigging.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Main spindle listed at 52 kW and 1,000 Nm, with a 4,000 rpm top speed
B-axis milling spindle with ±120° of swivel, 12,000 rpm and 35 kW
Counter spindle listed at 4,000 rpm and 35 kW for machining the second side
±175 mm of Y travel for off-centre milling and drilling
36-tool magazine plus a 12-station turret with driven tools at 6,000 rpm

Limitations

Milling spindle torque is 100 Nm, which limits heavy milling cuts
A machine weight of 28,000 kg calls for a suitable foundation and rigging capacity
Not in DMG MORI's current lineup, and the listed figures are unconfirmed
The 36-tool magazine is small for part families that need many milling tools

Best For

Shafts and chuck parts up to 700 mm in diameter and 1,250 mm long Turning, milling and second-side work completed in one setup Angled holes and faces reached with the ±120° B-axis Heavy turning with 1,000 Nm on the main spindle

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is the CTX 1250 TC in DMG MORI's current lineup?

No. The CTX 1250 TC is not in the current lineup and the figures listed here are unconfirmed. For a used machine, take the spindle data, travels and options from its own documentation and check which control it carries: the listed control is Siemens 840D sl / Fanuc 31i (CELOS).

02 What size parts does the CTX 1250 TC take?

The listed maximum turning diameter is 700 mm and the maximum turning length is 1,250 mm. Y travel is ±175 mm and the B-axis swivels ±120°, so milled features can sit well off the centreline and at an angle to the part axis.

03 How powerful are the spindles of the CTX 1250 TC?

The main spindle is listed at 52 kW and 1,000 Nm with 4,000 rpm. The counter spindle is listed at 35 kW and 4,000 rpm. The milling spindle runs to 12,000 rpm with 35 kW and 100 Nm. The turning spindles carry the heavy cuts, and the milling spindle is the faster, lighter one.

04 How many tools does the CTX 1250 TC hold?

The listed tool magazine capacity for the milling spindle is 36 tools. In addition, the table lists a 12-station turret with a driven tool speed of 6,000 rpm. Check both on any machine offered, since the listed figures have not been confirmed.
