Our best estimate for a mill-turn / multi-tasking machine in this class — not a quote from DMG Mori. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

Shafts up to 2,000 mm (78.7 in) long and 700 mm (27.6 in) in diameter are the working range of the DMG MORI CTX gamma 2000 TC, the middle length of three CTX gamma TC turn-mill centers. It travels 800 mm (31.5 in) in X, 420 mm (16.5 in) in Y and 2,050 mm (80.7 in) in Z and passes 127 mm (5 in) bar.

Z travel is about 58% longer than on the CTX gamma 1250 TC, which has 1,300 mm (51.2 in), and the CTX gamma 3000 TC goes on to 3,050 mm (120.1 in). X and Y are identical across the three, so nothing is given up in cross-section by choosing the longer bed.

A part of this length usually needs support and more than one tool in the cut, and that is the job of the optional second tool carrier. It is a VDI 40 turret rated at 4,000 rpm, 20.7 ft lb and 13.4 hp, or a VDI 40 Direct Drive turret rated at 10,000 rpm, 25.1 ft lb and 19 hp. Turret steady rests and turret centers are offered for it as options with their own technology cycle. The TRIFIX quick-change interface is standard on the turret, with tool set-up quoted at under 30 sec.

In standard form the main spindle is the ISM 102 with 4,000 rpm, 60.3 hp and 567.9 ft lb, within a range of integrated drives that DMG MORI says reaches 2950.2 ft lb. Milling is done by the compactMASTER spindle with 12,000 rpm, 48.3 hp and 162.3 ft lb, or 20,000 rpm in the high-speed version, fed from a 36-fold disc magazine or an optional chain magazine of up to 180 stations.

Position feedback comes from direct measuring systems by Magnescale in all axes, and the X, Y and Z axis motors and the turret drives are cooled.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

2,050 mm (80.7 in) of Z travel combined with 800 mm (31.5 in) of X and 420 mm (16.5 in) of Y
Optional second tool carrier with a VDI 40 Direct Drive turret rated at 10,000 rpm, 25.1 ft lb and 19 hp
Turret steady rests and turret centers offered as options for supporting long parts
ISM 102 main spindle as standard: 4,000 rpm, 60.3 hp and 567.9 ft lb
Milling spindle with 12,000 rpm, 48.3 hp and 162.3 ft lb; a 20,000 rpm high-speed version is available
Cooled X, Y and Z axis motors and turret drives, with Magnescale direct measuring systems in all axes

Limitations

Steady rests and turret centers are options that depend on the second tool carrier, which is itself optional
Bar capacity of 127 mm (5 in) is small against the 700 mm (27.6 in) maximum diameter, so large shafts are chuck work
The standard disc magazine is 36-fold; longer tool lists need the optional chain magazine
The plain VDI 40 turret is rated 20.7 ft lb and 13.4 hp at its driven tools, enough for drilling and light milling only

Best For

Shafts and rolls up to 2,000 mm (78.7 in) long with milled features Long parts machined with two tool carriers when the optional turret is fitted Parts up to 700 mm (27.6 in) in diameter needing 420 mm (16.5 in) of Y travel Bar work up to 127 mm (5 in) through the main spindle

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How long a part can the CTX gamma 2000 TC machine?

Up to 2,000 mm (78.7 in), with a maximum diameter of 700 mm (27.6 in). Z travel is 2,050 mm (80.7 in). The CTX gamma 1250 TC has 1,300 mm (51.2 in) of Z travel and the CTX gamma 3000 TC 3,050 mm (120.1 in), on the same X and Y travels.

02 What are the two turret choices for the second tool carrier?

A VDI 40 turret rated at 4,000 rpm, 20.7 ft lb and 13.4 hp, or a VDI 40 Direct Drive turret rated at 10,000 rpm, 25.1 ft lb and 19 hp. The second tool carrier itself is optional. The TRIFIX precision quick-change interface is standard on it.

03 How are long shafts supported on this machine?

DMG MORI lists turret steady rests and turret centers, operated through a technology cycle, as options for the second tool carrier. Since that carrier is itself optional, support for slender parts has to be specified when the machine is ordered.

04 What power does the main spindle have?

The standard ISM 102 integrated spindle delivers 4,000 rpm, 60.3 hp and 567.9 ft lb. DMG MORI quotes up to 2950.2 ft lb for its integrated spindle drives, and the spindle has an integrated C-axis with 0.001° resolution.

05 Which tool magazines are offered?

A 36-fold disc magazine is standard and a chain magazine with a maximum of 180 stations is optional. Both serve the compactMASTER turning and milling spindle, which runs at 12,000 rpm, or 20,000 rpm in the high-speed version.
