Overview

The DMG MORI NHX 10000 is a horizontal machining center for very large parts: workpieces up to 2,000 mm (78.7 in) in diameter, 1,600 mm (63 in) tall and 3,000 kg (6,613.9 lb). Travels are 1,700 mm (66.9 in) in X, 1,400 mm (55.1 in) in Y and 1,510 mm (59.4 in) in Z, larger on every axis than the NHX 8000 below it at 1,400 mm (55.1 in), 1,200 mm (47.2 in) and 1,350 mm (53.1 in).

Read the diameter and the X stroke together. A 2,000 mm (78.7 in) part can turn on the table, but X covers 1,700 mm (66.9 in), so features spread across the full width are reached over more than one table position. Y, at 1,400 mm (55.1 in), is likewise shorter than the 1,600 mm (63 in) height allowance.

DMG MORI describes the axes as driven at the center of gravity and the frame as box-in-box. Driving a slide through its center of gravity, instead of from one side, reduces the tilting moment when it accelerates, and a box-in-box frame supports the moving unit on both sides. Both are filed under precision in the Highlights.

Rapid traverse and cutting feedrate are both 1,968.5 ipm on X, Y and Z. Maximum acceleration is 0.62 G in X, 0.51 G in Y and 0.45 G in Z (20.0 / 16.4 / 14.4 ft/s2), so X responds fastest and Z slowest.

The standard spindle has an output of up to 53.3 HP. A maximum spindle torque of 1,042.2 ft-lbf is listed as an option and carries a 10%ED rating, which marks it as a short-duty value and not a continuous one. No spindle speed or tool shank appears in the listed data.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Workpieces up to 2,000 mm (78.7 in) in diameter, 1,600 mm (63 in) tall and 3,000 kg (6,613.9 lb)
Travels of 1,700 × 1,400 × 1,510 mm (66.9 × 55.1 × 59.4 in)
Axes driven at the center of gravity in a box-in-box frame
Standard spindle output of up to 53.3 HP
Rapid traverse and cutting feedrate of 1,968.5 ipm on X, Y and Z

Limitations

X travel of 1,700 mm (66.9 in) is less than the 2,000 mm (78.7 in) maximum workpiece diameter
The 1,042.2 ft-lbf maximum spindle torque is an option and is rated at 10%ED
Z acceleration is 0.45 G, the lowest of the three axes
No spindle speed, tool shank or tool magazine capacity is given in the listed data

Best For

Very large housings and frames up to 3,000 kg (6,613.9 lb) Parts up to 2,000 mm (78.7 in) in diameter machined over several table positions Heavy cuts that call for the optional 1,042.2 ft-lbf spindle torque Tall workpieces within the 1,600 mm (63 in) height allowance

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How large a workpiece can the NHX 10000 machine?

The limits are 2,000 mm (78.7 in) in diameter, 1,600 mm (63 in) in height and 3,000 kg (6,613.9 lb). X travel is 1,700 mm (66.9 in) and Y travel 1,400 mm (55.1 in), both smaller than the envelope, so a part at the limits is machined over more than one table position.

02 What spindle power and torque does the NHX 10000 offer?

The standard spindle is listed with an output of up to 53.3 HP. A maximum spindle torque of 1,042.2 ft-lbf is available as an option, with a 10%ED rating, so it is a short-duty figure. DMG MORI does not state the torque of the standard spindle or any spindle speed in the Highlights.

03 How fast are the NHX 10000 axes?

Rapid traverse is 1,968.5 ipm on X, Y and Z and the cutting feedrate is the same 1,968.5 ipm. Maximum acceleration is 0.62 G in X, 0.51 G in Y and 0.45 G in Z, or 20.0 / 16.4 / 14.4 ft/s2.

04 How does the NHX 10000 differ from the NHX 8000?

It is larger on all three axes. The NHX 10000 travels 1,700 mm (66.9 in) in X, 1,400 mm (55.1 in) in Y and 1,510 mm (59.4 in) in Z, while the NHX 8000 travels 1,400 mm (55.1 in), 1,200 mm (47.2 in) and 1,350 mm (53.1 in).

05 What do center-of-gravity drive and box-in-box construction mean here?

They are the two structural points DMG MORI lists under precision. A slide driven through its center of gravity is pushed without a tilting moment, and a box-in-box frame carries the moving unit between two supports instead of on one side. No accuracy figures are attached to either in the listed data.
