Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from DMG Mori. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The DMG MORI GEAR production by NMV 5000 DCG is a 5-axis machining center configured for cutting gears, with listed travels of 730 × 760 × 850 mm (28.7 × 29.9 × 33.5 in) and a 12,000 rpm BIG-PLUS BT40 spindle. It is not in DMG MORI's current lineup, so treat the listed figures as a starting point and confirm them against the documentation of the machine on offer.

On a 5-axis machining center, gear work means milling the tooth forms with the rotary axes instead of hobbing them on a dedicated machine. The A axis tilts +/- 120 degrees (240 total) and the C axis rotates 360 degrees continuously, which lets the cutter follow a flank on spur, helical, bevel and worm gears and reach inside internal ring gears, the types the listed data names. Grinding for finish operations is integrated. Blanks can be up to 800 mm (31.5 in) in diameter and 1,000 mm (39.4 in) high, with a table load of 500 kg (1,102 lb).

The spindle is rated 22 kW (30 hp) and 119 Nm (88 ft-lb), with 20,000 rpm as an option. That torque suits end mills and ball cutters working a tooth gap in many passes, not large form cutters taking the gap in one. The axes use the Driven at Center of Gravity (DCG) drive system and the control is MAPPS Fanuc (CELOS X compatible). The NMV 5000 DCG that the name refers to is listed with 730 × 510 × 510 mm (28.7 × 20.1 × 20.1 in), so check the Y and Z travel of any machine you inspect.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Listed for spur, helical, bevel and worm gears as well as internal ring gears on one machine
A axis tilt of +/- 120 degrees (240 total) with a C axis that rotates 360 degrees continuously
Integrated grinding for finish operations
12,000 rpm BIG-PLUS BT40 spindle with 22 kW (30 hp); 20,000 rpm was optional
Driven at Center of Gravity (DCG) drive system on the axes

Limitations

Not in DMG MORI's current lineup, so the listed figures should be confirmed from the machine's own documentation
Spindle torque of 119 Nm (88 ft-lb) limits the size of cutter and the depth of cut in hardened or large-module gears
Table load is 500 kg (1,102 lb), which a solid steel blank reaches long before it fills the 800 mm (31.5 in) by 1,000 mm (39.4 in) envelope
The 20,000 rpm spindle is an option, so a given machine may have the 12,000 rpm spindle only

Best For

Small batches and prototypes of gears up to 800 mm (31.5 in) in diameter Bevel and helical gears milled in five axes without dedicated gear machines Internal ring gears and worm gears within the 500 kg (1,102 lb) table load Gear parts that also need milled, drilled and ground features in the same setup

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What kinds of gears can the GEAR production by NMV 5000 DCG cut?

The listed gear types are spur, helical, bevel, worm and internal ring gears. They are produced by 5-axis milling, using an A axis that tilts +/- 120 degrees (240 total) and a C axis with 360 degrees of continuous rotation, and integrated grinding is listed for finish operations.

02 How large a gear blank fits on the machine?

The listed maximum workpiece is 800 mm (31.5 in) in diameter and 1,000 mm (39.4 in) in height, with a table load of 500 kg (1,102 lb). Listed travels are 730 mm (28.7 in) in X, 760 mm (29.9 in) in Y and 850 mm (33.5 in) in Z. In steel the weight limit, not the envelope, will usually decide what fits.

03 What spindle does the GEAR production by NMV 5000 DCG have?

A BIG-PLUS BT40 spindle with a listed maximum of 12,000 rpm, 22 kW (30 hp) and 119 Nm (88 ft-lb). A 20,000 rpm spindle is listed as optional. On a used machine, check which of the two is fitted, since the listed power and torque are given without saying which spindle they belong to.

04 Which control does the machine use?

The listed control is MAPPS Fanuc (CELOS X compatible). Gear cutting on a 5-axis machine also depends on the gear software and cycles installed, which the listed figures do not describe, so ask the seller exactly which options are on the control.
