Our best estimate for a horizontal machining centers (hmc) in this class — not a quote from DMG Mori. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

With 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 DMG MORI NHX 6300 is a horizontal machining center for parts and tombstones weighing up to 1,500 kg (3,306.9 lb). It sits between the NHX 5500 and the NHX 8000 in the range.

The jump from the smaller model is large in every direction: the NHX 5500 has 800 mm (31.5 in) in X and Y and 880 mm (34.6 in) in Z. One size up, the NHX 8000 offers 1,400 mm (55.1 in), 1,200 mm (47.2 in) and 1,350 mm (53.1 in). The NHX 6300 is the choice for work that has outgrown the first without needing the frame size of the second.

Its largest workpiece is 1,050 mm (41.3 in) in diameter, equal to the X travel, and 1,300 mm (51.2 in) tall. Y is the short axis at 900 mm (35.4 in). On a tombstone that uses the whole height allowance, some rows of parts will lie beyond the spindle's vertical range, so size the fixture from the Y stroke and treat the 1,300 mm (51.2 in) figure as clearance.

Rapid traverse is 2,362.2 ipm on all three axes, and the cutting feedrate is listed at the same value. The acceleration figures are less even: 0.64 G in X, 0.93 G in Y and 0.70 G in Z (20.7 / 29.9 / 22.6 ft/s2). The long X axis is the slowest to get up to speed, so estimates for parts with many short X moves should be based on that figure and not on the headline rapid rate.

DMG MORI's rigidity points are a thick bed, a 3-point support for stable installation and a layout that allows shorter tools. Direct scale feedback and a draw-back function for the through-spindle coolant are listed as precision equipment.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Travels of 1,050 × 900 × 1,030 mm (41.3 × 35.4 × 40.6 in), with more than a metre in both X and Z
Carries workpieces up to 1,500 kg (3,306.9 lb)
X travel of 1,050 mm (41.3 in) matches the maximum workpiece diameter
2,362.2 ipm rapid traverse on X, Y and Z, and a cutting feedrate listed at the same figure
Y accelerates at 0.93 G, the highest of the three axes
Direct scale feedback and a through-spindle coolant draw-back function are listed

Limitations

Y travel of 900 mm (35.4 in) is well short of the 1,300 mm (51.2 in) workpiece height limit
X acceleration is 0.64 G, the lowest of the three axes, against 0.93 G in Y
Spindle speed, power, torque and tool shank are not given in DMG MORI's listed data for this model
No tool magazine capacity or pallet change data is stated

Best For

Tombstones and single parts up to 1,500 kg (3,306.9 lb) Workpieces up to 1,050 mm (41.3 in) in diameter that need full-width access in X Housings and frames that have outgrown the NHX 5500 Deep parts that use the 1,030 mm (40.6 in) Z travel

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What are the travels of the NHX 6300?

1,050 mm (41.3 in) in X, 900 mm (35.4 in) in Y and 1,030 mm (40.6 in) in Z. The workpiece can be up to 1,050 mm (41.3 in) in diameter and 1,300 mm (51.2 in) tall, so the height allowance is greater than the Y stroke and should be read as clearance, not as machinable height.

02 How heavy a load can the NHX 6300 carry?

The maximum workpiece weight is 1,500 kg (3,306.9 lb). Count the tombstone or fixture plate, the clamping and all the parts loaded on it against that figure, not only the weight of one workpiece.

03 Why do the acceleration figures differ by axis on the NHX 6300?

DMG MORI lists 0.64 G in X, 0.93 G in Y and 0.70 G in Z (20.7 / 29.9 / 22.6 ft/s2) without giving a reason. In general each axis moves a different mass, and a lower value means that axis takes longer to reach the 2,362.2 ipm rapid rate on short moves.

04 Is the NHX 6300 a big step up from the NHX 5500?

Yes, on all three axes. The NHX 5500 has 800 mm (31.5 in) in X and Y and 880 mm (34.6 in) in Z, while the NHX 6300 has 1,050 mm (41.3 in), 900 mm (35.4 in) and 1,030 mm (40.6 in).

05 What should I ask DMG MORI before ordering an NHX 6300?

The spindle data. The listed figures cover travels, workpiece limits, feed rates and acceleration, but not spindle speed, power, torque or tool shank, and not the tool magazine capacity. Also confirm where the 900 mm (35.4 in) Y stroke sits relative to the table surface.
