Overview

The DMG Mori NTX 1000 is the compact workhorse of the NTX turn-mill lineup, sitting between the small-parts NTX 500 and the mid-range NTX 2000. It delivers full 5-axis turn-mill capability in a footprint that fits into shops where larger multitasking machines would be impractical. The machine handles workpieces up to 500 mm (19.7 in) diameter and 800 mm (31.5 in) length, covering the sweet spot for precision chuck-work components.

The main spindle delivers 22 kW (30 hp) at 5,000 RPM with 200 Nm of torque through an 8-inch chuck. The sub-spindle matches at 22 kW and 5,000 RPM for backworking. Bar capacity is 65 mm (2.6 in). The compactMASTER turn-mill spindle runs at 12,000 RPM with 18.5 kW (25 hp) and 79 Nm through a Capto C6 interface, with HSK-A63 and other options available. A 20,000 RPM high-speed option covers aluminum and small-cutter work.

The B-axis swivels through 240 degrees (plus/minus 120 degrees) via Direct Drive Motor. Axis travels are 455 mm (17.9 in) in X, 150 mm (5.9 in) in Y (plus/minus 75 mm), and 805 mm (31.7 in) in Z. Rapids hit 36 m/min on X and Y, 40 m/min on Z. The standard tool magazine holds 38 stations with 1.25 second tool change time. An optional lower turret with 10 live tool stations provides parallel processing.

Control is Fanuc 31iB5 with MAPPS, with Siemens CELOS available on 3rd Generation models. The machine weighs approximately 10,500 kg (23,148 lb) and occupies 3,180 x 2,520 mm. Pricing starts around $350,000 with production configs running $430,000-$550,000. It competes directly with the Mazak Integrex i-100, Okuma Multus B200II, and the DMG Mori CTX beta 450 TC.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Full NTX-class 5-axis turn-mill capability in a compact footprint of just 3,180 x 2,520 mm, significantly smaller than the NTX 2000
18.5 kW compactMASTER milling spindle at 12,000 RPM with Capto C6 delivers genuine machining center-class performance
Dual identical 22 kW / 5,000 RPM spindles enable balanced main and backworking operations without compromising either side
38-tool standard magazine (76 optional) with 1.25 second changes supports complex parts and long unattended runs
Optional lower turret with 10 live tool stations enables parallel processing that cuts cycle times on production work
B-axis Direct Drive with 240-degree continuous swivel gives true simultaneous 5-axis capability for complex contour work
3rd Generation option brings CELOS X interface and improved thermal displacement control for tighter long-run accuracy

Limitations

Starting at $350K, it commands a premium over the CLX TC series despite similar turning capacity; the milling capability justifies the gap
65 mm bar capacity limits bar-fed work compared to the CTX beta 1250 TC 102 mm; shops running larger stock need to step up
800 mm maximum turning length constrains shaft work; longer parts need the NTX 2000 (1,538 mm) or larger
10,500 kg weight requires proper foundation work, adding $10,000-$20,000 to installed cost
Programming 5-axis turn-mill work demands experienced operators and well-developed post processors; expect 3-6 months learning curve

Best For

Aerospace shops machining mid-size complex components needing turning, milling, drilling, and tapping in a single setup Medical device manufacturers producing implants, instruments, and orthopedic components with 5-axis contour accuracy Job shops consolidating turning center and VMC operations into a single multitasking platform for high-mix work Automotive precision component producers running dual-spindle backworking to reduce handling and improve accuracy Shops needing NTX-class multitasking capability in floor space too tight for the NTX 2000 Die and mold shops running complex cavity and core work on the B-axis milling head

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a DMG Mori NTX 1000 cost?

A new NTX 1000 starts around $350,000 base. Adding the 20,000 RPM milling spindle, lower turret, expanded 76-tool magazine, high-pressure coolant, and automation pushes to $430,000-$550,000. Used machines from 2015-2020 sell in the $140,000-$270,000 range.

02 What is the difference between the NTX 1000 and the NTX 2000?

The NTX 2000 has a larger work envelope (670 mm turning diameter vs 500 mm, 1,538 mm length vs 800 mm), slightly more Y-axis travel (300 mm vs 150 mm), and more torque on the main spindle (230 vs 200 Nm). The NTX 1000 is more compact and costs $50,000-$100,000 less.

03 How does the NTX 1000 compare to the CTX beta 450 TC?

Both are similar-size turn-mill centers. The NTX 1000 has longer Z-axis travel (805 vs 505 mm), dual standard spindles, and uses Fanuc control. The CTX beta 450 TC runs Siemens and has a wider Y-axis (200 vs 150 mm). The NTX comes from Japanese engineering (Mori Seiki lineage), the CTX from German (DMG).

04 What CAM software works with the NTX 1000?

Esprit, hyperMILL, and Mastercam all support the NTX 1000. The Fanuc 31iB5 control is well-supported. Budget $10,000-$18,000 for CAM and post setup.

05 Can the NTX 1000 cut gears?

Yes. DMG Mori offers technology cycles for gear cutting on the NTX series, including hobbing, skiving, and gear milling using the B-axis tool spindle.
