Overview
The DMG Mori CTX gamma 2000 TC is a large-format universal mill-turn center purpose-built for the complete machining of long, complex shafts and large rotational components in a single clamping. With a turning length of 2,000 mm and a swing diameter of 730 mm, it addresses the demanding requirements of energy, power generation, and heavy industrial sectors where eliminating multiple setups is essential to maintain part accuracy.
The machine's B-axis milling head swivels across the full angular range, delivering 5-axis simultaneous machining capability on long workpieces that conventional machining centers cannot accommodate. A full Y-axis travel of ±200 mm enables eccentric drilling, off-center milling, and complex contour machining along the entire length of a shaft or housing without any repositioning.
The CTX gamma 2000 TC is available with an optional counter spindle for short to medium parts, or with a motorized tailstock for supporting long shafts during heavy-duty turning. High-pressure internal coolant through the tooling system keeps cutting temperatures under control during extended cycles in difficult materials. The high-capacity chip conveyor and large coolant tank are engineered to support extended unattended machining runs.
Powered by the Siemens SINUMERIK ONE control with DMG Mori CELOS, the CTX gamma 2000 TC offers full digital twin simulation capability, reducing risk when programming expensive long-part operations. This machine is a preferred platform for turbine shaft, crankshaft, and large valve body production where part cost makes re-work unacceptable.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 2,000 mm turning length handles long shafts and complex rotational components in one clamping
- Massive 62 kW / 3,000 Nm spindle enables aggressive roughing on large steel and superalloy workpieces
- Full 5-axis simultaneous mill-turn capability eliminates dedicated milling setups for complex shaft features
- SINUMERIK ONE digital twin supports collision-free programming verification before cutting expensive workpieces
- Modular configuration (counter spindle or motorized tailstock) adapts to batch or single-part production
Limitations
- Very high capital cost requires sustained high-value complex part volumes to justify ROI
- Extremely heavy machine requires reinforced foundation and specialized rigging for installation
- Programming and operation require highly experienced personnel to exploit the full 5-axis capability

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The CTX gamma 2000 TC is designed for heavy workpieces. With the motorized tailstock configuration, it can support long shaft-type parts weighing several hundred kilograms. DMG Mori's application team provides specific weight limits based on the exact configuration and fixturing chosen.
02
Yes. The machine's B-axis milling head and Y-axis capability support deep-hole drilling operations with appropriate tooling. High-pressure through-tool coolant assists with chip evacuation in deep bores.
03
The CTX gamma 2000 TC is significantly larger, with a 730 mm swing versus 500 mm, a 2,000 mm turning length versus 1,250 mm, and a much higher-torque spindle (3,000 Nm vs. 800 Nm). It targets large-part, high-value applications in energy and heavy industry, while the CTX beta 1250 TC is optimized for aerospace and precision manufacturing of medium-sized complex parts.
04
Given its large spindle bore and capacity, bar feeder use is possible in principle, but the CTX gamma 2000 TC is primarily deployed for large-diameter chucking and shaft work rather than bar production. DMG Mori's application engineers can advise on bar feed integration for specific part families.
05
The primary industries are oil and gas, power generation, marine, heavy industrial machinery, and large-part aerospace. These sectors commonly produce high-value parts with complex turned and milled features where the cost of re-fixturing errors and secondary operations is prohibitive.
