DMG Mori NMV 5000 DCG

The DMG Mori NMV 5000 DCG is the larger platform in the NMV vertical 5-axis lineup, stepping up to 730 x 510 x 510 mm (28.7 x 20.1 x 20.1 in) of travel while retaining the DCG (Driven at the Center of Gravity) technology that defines this series. Where the NMV 3000 is a small-parts specialist, the 5000 opens the door to mid-size aerospace components, larger mold work, and automotive production parts.

The DCG drive system positions the ball screw at the center of gravity of each moving axis component. This eliminates the pitching moment that causes vibration in conventional designs, translating to better surface finish at aggressive feed rates and longer tool life. Combined with ORC (Octagonal Ram Construction) on the Z-axis column, the machine delivers stiffness-to-weight ratios that let you push parameters harder than the footprint suggests.

The trunnion table handles workpieces up to 500 mm (19.7 in) in diameter and 450 mm (17.7 in) tall, with a 300 kg (661 lb) table load capacity. The A-axis tilts ±120 degrees and the C-axis rotates 360 degrees continuous, both driven by direct drive motors for backlash-free positioning. That table load is generous for a vertical 5-axis and accommodates heavier aerospace billets and steel mold blocks.

The standard spindle runs 12,000 RPM with 22 kW (30 hp) and 119 Nm of torque through a BIG-PLUS BT40 taper. High-speed options push to 20,000 RPM. The MAPPS Fanuc control with 24-inch ERGOline X touchscreen handles programming and operation, with CELOS X platform compatibility for shop-floor connectivity.

Rapid traverse rates reach 36 m/min on all linear axes. The tool magazine starts at 30 positions and expands to 60 or 120. Machine weight comes in around 9,500 kg (20,940 lb), providing a mass foundation that absorbs vibration during heavy cuts. DMG Mori also offers the NMV 5000 DCG in a Gear Production+ variant specifically configured for 5-axis gear cutting, targeting shops that need to machine gears without dedicated hobbing equipment. The standard machine competes with the Okuma MU-5000V, Mazak VARIAXIS i-500, and Makino D500. Specs sourced from DMG Mori published data.
