DMG Mori CTX 1250 TC

The DMG Mori CTX 1250 TC is a high-capability turn-mill center that combines a large-bore turning center with full milling functionality, enabling complete machining of complex, large-diameter components in a single setup. The TC (Turn & Mill Complete) designation indicates the integration of a B-axis milling spindle with a swivel range of ±120°, allowing five-axis milling operations on the same machine that performs primary turning — eliminating workpiece transfers and associated re-fixturing errors.

With a maximum turning diameter of 700 mm and up to 1,250 mm between centers, the CTX 1250 TC handles substantial shaft components, large flanges, and complex housings that would otherwise require multiple dedicated machines. The main spindle accommodates bars up to 102 mm in diameter and delivers up to 4,000 rpm with 1,000 Nm of torque — sufficient for aggressive roughing of large steel and titanium forgings. A counter spindle mirrors the main spindle's capability, enabling complete backworking without a second setup.

The integrated B-axis milling spindle reaches 12,000 rpm with 35 kW of power, providing genuine milling capability for off-axis features, compound angles, and deep pockets that would be impossible on a conventional turning center. The Y-axis adds ±175 mm of off-centerline travel, extending this milling reach to full prismatic feature machining on the turned component.

Controlled via CELOS with a Siemens 840D sl or Fanuc 31i, the CTX 1250 TC is well-suited to aerospace engine shaft components, oil and gas downhole tools, and heavy-industry power transmission components where cycle time reduction through single-setup complete machining delivers measurable cost savings.
