Overview

The DMG MORI NLX 4000 Y is listed here as a Y-axis turning center with a 381 mm (15 in) chuck, a maximum turning diameter of 500 mm (19.7 in) and, in the /2000 bed length, a maximum turning length of 2,050 mm (80.7 in). It is not in DMG MORI's current lineup and may be an older model, so anyone assessing a used machine should check each of the listed figures against that machine's own documentation.

The listed main spindle is a low-speed, high-torque unit: 2,500 RPM, 30 kW (40.2 hp) and 1,550 Nm, on an A2-11 nose with 102 mm (4.0 in) of bar capacity. That combination suits roughing steel at large diameters far more than small bar work.

The turret is given as BMT 60 with 12 stations, with driven tools at 10,000 RPM and 100 Nm and a C-axis for contouring. Y travel is 120 mm (4.7 in), +/-60 mm from centerline. X travel is 280 mm (11.0 in), Z travel is 2,100 mm (82.7 in) on the /2000, and rapid traverse is 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in X and Z. The control is listed as CELOS with Siemens 840D solutionline, and the /2000 weighs 10,000 kg (22,046 lb).

The listed 280 mm (11.0 in) of X travel is less than the 365 mm (14.4 in) of the NLX 4000, so do not assume that dimensions carry over between the two.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Listed main spindle torque of 1,550 Nm with 30 kW (40.2 hp), for heavy roughing at large diameters
Maximum turning length of 2,050 mm (80.7 in) in the /2000 bed length
BMT 60 turret with 12 stations and driven tools listed at 10,000 RPM and 100 Nm
120 mm (4.7 in) of Y travel, +/-60 mm from centerline, with C-axis contouring

Limitations

Main spindle speed is listed at 2,500 RPM, which limits surface speed on small diameters
X travel is listed as 280 mm (11.0 in), less than the 365 mm (14.4 in) of the NLX 4000
The turret has 12 stations, which limits how many turning and driven tools stay set up for complete machining of a long shaft
At 10,000 kg (22,046 lb) in the /2000 length, rigging and foundation need planning

Best For

Long shafts up to 2,050 mm (80.7 in) in the /2000 bed length Heavy turning at large diameters with 1,550 Nm of spindle torque Turn-mill parts using 120 mm (4.7 in) of Y travel and C-axis contouring
