Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from DMG Mori. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The DMG MORI NMV 3000 DCG is a 5-axis machining center with a small envelope: 500 mm (19.7 in) of X travel, 350 mm (13.8 in) of Y and 510 mm (20.1 in) of Z, for workpieces up to 350 mm (13.8 in) in diameter, 300 mm (11.8 in) high and 100 kg (220.5 lb). Those six figures are the whole of DMG MORI's technical data for the model, and they place it at the small end of 5-axis work.

The proportions deserve a second look. Z is the longest axis, and at 510 mm it goes well beyond the 300 mm maximum workpiece height, which leaves stroke for long tools and for clearing a part that has been tilted. Y is the shortest axis and matches the maximum workpiece diameter exactly at 350 mm, so the largest permitted part uses the full Y stroke. Count the fixture when adding up the load against the 100 kg limit.

DMG MORI's Highlights for this model carry no spindle, magazine or feed figures. They describe three design elements instead. The rotary axes are driven by direct drive motors, a system the manufacturer describes as having zero backlash, with high-speed rotation, high-precision indexing and less maintenance. DCG technology is credited with longer tool life, improved surface quality and roundness, and acceleration. ORC technology is credited with damping, with suppressing thermal displacement, and with high-speed, high-precision feed.

The NMV 5000 DCG is the next size up: 730 mm (28.7 in) of X and 510 mm (20.1 in) of Y, with the same 510 mm (20.1 in) of Z. Because both share the Z stroke, choosing between the two comes down to the plan size of the part. For spindle speed, power, tool capacity and control, ask DMG MORI for the data sheet with the quotation, because none of it is stated in the Highlights.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Rotary axes use direct drive motors, described by DMG MORI as a zero-backlash drive system with high-precision indexing
510 mm (20.1 in) of Z travel above a 300 mm (11.8 in) maximum workpiece height leaves stroke for long tools
DMG MORI credits the DCG design with improved surface quality and roundness and with longer tool life
ORC technology is listed as suppressing thermal displacement and providing damping
Shares its 510 mm (20.1 in) Z travel with the larger NMV 5000 DCG

Limitations

Workpiece weight is limited to 100 kg (220.5 lb)
Y travel is only 350 mm (13.8 in), and the maximum workpiece diameter is the same 350 mm (13.8 in)
No spindle speed, power, torque or tool magazine figure appears in DMG MORI's Highlights for this model
Parts taller than 300 mm (11.8 in) fall outside the stated workpiece limit

Best For

Small 5-axis parts up to 350 mm (13.8 in) in diameter and 300 mm (11.8 in) high Light workpieces within the 100 kg (220.5 lb) limit Indexed and simultaneous work that depends on backlash-free rotary axes Round features where surface quality and roundness are specified

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size workpiece fits the NMV 3000 DCG?

Up to 350 mm (13.8 in) in diameter, 300 mm (11.8 in) in height and 100 kg (220.5 lb) in weight. The diameter limit equals the Y travel, so a part at the limit uses the whole Y stroke. Count the fixture when you add up the load.

02 What are the axis travels of the NMV 3000 DCG?

500 mm (19.7 in) in X, 350 mm (13.8 in) in Y and 510 mm (20.1 in) in Z. Z is the longest of the three, which is unusual for a machine this small and gives room above the 300 mm (11.8 in) maximum workpiece height for long tools.

03 How are the rotary axes of the NMV 3000 DCG driven?

By direct drive motors. DMG MORI describes the rotary axis drive system as having zero backlash and lists high-speed rotation, high-precision indexing, less maintenance and longer product life as the results. The Highlights give no rotary speed or indexing accuracy figure, so request those values if your parts depend on them.

04 How does the NMV 3000 DCG differ from the NMV 5000 DCG?

In X and Y travel. The NMV 5000 DCG has 730 mm (28.7 in) of X and 510 mm (20.1 in) of Y against 500 mm (19.7 in) and 350 mm (13.8 in) here. Z travel is 510 mm (20.1 in) on both machines, so the larger model adds travel in the table plane and none along Z.

05 What spindle and tool magazine does the NMV 3000 DCG have?

DMG MORI's Highlights for this model state no spindle speed, power, torque or magazine capacity. They cover the DCG design, the direct drive motors on the rotary axes and ORC technology. Get the spindle and magazine data from DMG MORI with the quotation instead of assuming figures from another model.
