Overview
The DMG Mori NHX 10000 is the flagship of the NHX horizontal machining center lineup, built around a massive 1,000 x 1,000 mm (39.4 x 39.4 in) pallet for the largest prismatic components in heavy industry, energy, and aerospace. With 1,300 x 1,100 x 1,200 mm (51.2 x 43.3 x 47.2 in) of travel, it handles workpieces that exceed 800mm platforms.
The speedMASTER spindle runs at 6,000 RPM through CAT 50, producing 45 kW (60 hp) and 700 Nm (516 ft-lb) torque. Rapid traverse hits 42 m/min. Maximum pallet load is 2,000 kg (4,409 lb). Standard 60-tool magazine expandable to 120 or 180. Thermo-symmetric design with comprehensive active cooling. Competitors include Okuma MB-10000H, Mazak HCN-10800, and Toyoda FH1250SX. New $800,000-$1,200,000. Specs sourced from DMG Mori published data.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,000 x 1,000 mm pallet with 2,000 kg load capacity handles the largest standard HMC workpieces
- Extended travel of 1,300 x 1,100 x 1,200 mm for deep-cavity work on the biggest industrial components
- 700 Nm spindle torque with CAT 50 delivers sustained heavy metal removal in cast iron and steel
- Thermo-symmetric design with active cooling maintains dimensional accuracy through multi-hour cycles
- CELOS ecosystem provides production monitoring, tool management, and IoT connectivity
- Two-pallet changer maintains productivity on largest workpieces
Limitations
- At 35,000 kg requires specialized foundation engineering and heavy crane access
- 6,000 RPM max strictly for ferrous material production
- 42 m/min rapids noticeably slower than smaller HMCs
- $800,000+ price plus $100,000-$200,000 foundation and installation costs
- 22-second pallet change time is longest in NHX range

Frequently Asked Questions
01
$800,000-$1,200,000. Foundation, rigging, and installation add $100,000-$200,000+. LPP typically exceeds $500,000. Used units trade $400,000-$750,000.
02
At 35,000 kg, heavily reinforced concrete 400-600mm thick. Plan for 30-40+ ton crane capacity.
03
Upgrade when workpieces exceed 800mm pallet capacity, weigh over 1,500 kg, or need more than 1,050mm X-travel.
04
Both top-tier 1,000mm HMCs. Okuma has Thermo-Friendly Concept and OSP control. DMG Mori offers CELOS and LPP ecosystem.
05
Yes, though not primary application. 700 Nm torque handles titanium with high-pressure coolant (70+ bar). Most buyers machine cast iron and steel.
