Our best estimate for a mill-turn / multi-tasking machine in this class — not a quote from DMG Mori. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The DMG MORI NT 5400 DCG moves the NT turn-mill design up to large parts: workpieces up to 920 mm (36.2 in) in diameter and 1,921 mm (75.6 in) long, with 1,040 mm (40.9 in) of X travel, 510 mm (20.1 in) of Y and 2,140 mm (84.3 in) of Z. Bar capacity is 103 mm (4.1 in).

The step from the smaller machines is mostly in cross-section. The NT 4250 DCG and NT 4300 DCG travel 750 mm (29.5 in) in X, 420 mm (16.5 in) in Y and 1,650 mm (65 in) in Z, so X grows by about 39% and Z by about 30%. A part that fills the envelope is roughly twice as long as it is wide, a stocky proportion that suits hubs, housings and large flanged shafts, where diameter and not length is the difficulty.

Milling reach follows the same logic. With 510 mm (20.1 in) of Y travel the tool spindle covers more than half of the 920 mm (36.2 in) maximum diameter without rotating the part. The spindle sits on a B-axis with a ±120° rotation range and a direct drive motor (DDM), so angled bores and simultaneous 5-axis contours are within its scope, and it holds tools in a 2-face contact Capto interface.

Structure and equipment are those of the NT series: Box in Box construction Driven at the Center of Gravity, an octagonal ram (ORC) for heat control, a digital tailstock as standard and a movable, swivelling operation panel. If the parts are longer than 1,921 mm (75.6 in), the NT 6600 DCG keeps the 1,040 mm (40.9 in) X travel and extends Y to 660 mm (26 in) and Z to 6,150 mm (242.1 in).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Workpieces up to 920 mm (36.2 in) in diameter and 1,921 mm (75.6 in) long
510 mm (20.1 in) of Y travel, more than half the maximum workpiece diameter
1,040 mm (40.9 in) of X travel, against 750 mm (29.5 in) on the NT 4250 DCG and NT 4300 DCG
DDM-driven B-axis with ±120° rotation for simultaneous 5-axis machining
103 mm (4.1 in) bar capacity and a digital tailstock as standard

Limitations

Workpiece length is limited to 1,921 mm (75.6 in); longer shafts need the NT 6600 DCG with 6,150 mm (242.1 in) of Z travel
Bar capacity of 103 mm (4.1 in) is a small fraction of the 920 mm (36.2 in) diameter, so most work on this machine is chucked
Y travel of 510 mm (20.1 in) is less than the 660 mm (26 in) of the NT 6600 DCG, which matters for wide prismatic features
The tool spindle is Capto with 2-face contact, which fixes the tool holder system for the machine

Best For

Large-diameter chuck parts up to 920 mm (36.2 in) with milled features Stocky shafts and housings up to 1,921 mm (75.6 in) long Off-center boring and milling within 510 mm (20.1 in) of Y travel Angled features cut with the ±120° B-axis in a single setup

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How big a part can the NT 5400 DCG handle?

Up to 920 mm (36.2 in) in diameter and 1,921 mm (75.6 in) in length. Travels are 1,040 mm (40.9 in) in X, 510 mm (20.1 in) in Y and 2,140 mm (84.3 in) in Z, and bar capacity is 103 mm (4.1 in).

02 How does the NT 5400 DCG compare with the NT 4250 DCG?

The NT 4250 DCG travels 750 mm (29.5 in) in X, 420 mm (16.5 in) in Y and 1,650 mm (65 in) in Z. The NT 5400 DCG is larger in every axis, at 1,040 mm (40.9 in), 510 mm (20.1 in) and 2,140 mm (84.3 in). Both have the B-axis with ±120° rotation, the Capto tool spindle and the standard digital tailstock.

03 When is the NT 6600 DCG the better choice?

When the part is longer than 1,921 mm (75.6 in) or needs more Y travel. The NT 6600 DCG has the same 1,040 mm (40.9 in) X travel as the NT 5400 DCG, with 660 mm (26 in) of Y and 6,150 mm (242.1 in) of Z.

04 What kind of B-axis and tool spindle does it have?

The B-axis carries a direct drive motor (DDM) and rotates ±120°, which DMG MORI lists for simultaneous 5-axis machining of complex parts. The tool spindle follows the 2-face contact Capto specification.

05 Is the NT 5400 DCG suitable for bar work?

Only for bar up to 103 mm (4.1 in). The machine is sized for workpieces up to 920 mm (36.2 in) in diameter, so its strengths are in chucked parts and in shafts held against the digital tailstock, which is standard.
