Overview

The DMG MORI NH 6300 DCG II is a large horizontal machining center for workpieces up to 1,050 mm (41.3 in) in diameter, 1,300 mm (51.2 in) high and 1,500 kg (3,306.9 lb). Travels are 1,050 mm (41.3 in) in X, 900 mm (35.4 in) in Y and 980 mm (38.6 in) in Z.

X travel equals the maximum workpiece diameter, so the spindle covers the full width of the largest part from one side without relying on a table rotation. Height is another matter: the 1,300 mm limit exceeds the 900 mm of Y, and features on the tallest workpieces have to fall within that stroke. A 1,500 kg load allowance puts large housings and frames, with their fixtures, within range.

One statement in DMG MORI's Highlights matters for planning. Customers can choose a magazine with the number of tools that suits them while the machine width stays as it is. The floor layout can therefore be fixed before the tool count is final. The machine measures 132.7 × 234.5 in. in width and depth and 134.4 in. in height. The magazine sizes themselves are not stated.

The Highlights name two drive technologies. DMG MORI attributes longer tool life and improved surface quality and roundness to DCG, and states that the Direct Drive Motor on the rotary axis achieves zero backlash. On a table that carries 1,500 kg, a backlash-free drive is relevant to how accurately opposite faces line up after indexing.

Among its neighbours, the NHX 6300 has the same 1,050 mm (41.3 in) and 900 mm (35.4 in) in X and Y with 1,030 mm (40.6 in) of Z. The INH 63 keeps the X figure and extends Y to 1,100 mm (43.3 in) and Z to 1,050 mm (41.3 in).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Workpieces up to 1,500 kg (3,306.9 lb), 1,050 mm (41.3 in) in diameter and 1,300 mm (51.2 in) high
1,050 mm (41.3 in) of X travel matches the maximum workpiece diameter
Magazine size can be chosen without changing the machine width
Direct Drive Motor on the rotary axis, stated to achieve zero backlash with high-precision indexing
DCG drive technology, which DMG MORI links to longer tool life and improved surface quality and roundness

Limitations

Y travel of 900 mm (35.4 in) is well short of the 1,300 mm (51.2 in) workpiece height limit
A large installation: 132.7 × 234.5 in. in width and depth and 134.4 in. high
Z travel of 980 mm (38.6 in) is shorter than the 1,030 mm (40.6 in) of the NHX 6300
DMG MORI's Highlights give no spindle speed, power or torque and no tool counts for the selectable magazines

Best For

Large housings and frames up to 1,500 kg (3,306.9 lb) Parts up to 1,050 mm (41.3 in) across machined over their full width Multi-face work on heavy parts indexed on a zero-backlash rotary axis Shops that need a large tool magazine without widening the machine

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the workpiece capacity of the NH 6300 DCG II?

Up to 1,050 mm (41.3 in) in diameter, 1,300 mm (51.2 in) high and 1,500 kg (3,306.9 lb). Travels are 1,050 mm (41.3 in) in X, 900 mm (35.4 in) in Y and 980 mm (38.6 in) in Z. Because Y is shorter than the height limit, check feature positions on tall parts.

02 How large is the NH 6300 DCG II on the shop floor?

Machine width × depth is 132.7 × 234.5 in. and machine height is 134.4 in. DMG MORI states that customers can choose a magazine with the number of tools they need while keeping the machine width as it is, so the width figure holds across magazine choices.

03 How many tools does the NH 6300 DCG II hold?

DMG MORI's Highlights do not state a number. They say a magazine can be chosen with the number of tools to suit the customer's needs, without changing the machine width. Ask for the list of magazine sizes and their tool length, diameter and weight limits with the quotation.

04 How does the NH 6300 DCG II compare with the NHX 6300 and the INH 63?

The NHX 6300 has 1,050 mm (41.3 in) of X, 900 mm (35.4 in) of Y and 1,030 mm (40.6 in) of Z. The INH 63 has 1,050 mm (41.3 in), 1,100 mm (43.3 in) and 1,050 mm (41.3 in). The NH 6300 DCG II shares the X travel of both and has 900 mm (35.4 in) of Y and 980 mm (38.6 in) of Z.

05 What do DMG MORI's Highlights say about the rotary axis?

That it uses a Direct Drive Motor, which achieves zero backlash and provides high-speed rotation and high-precision indexing, with less maintenance and a longer product life. No rotation speed or indexing accuracy is given as a figure, so request both if the work depends on them.
