How much does the DMG Mori NTX 1000 cost?
Estimated price range
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 NTX 1000 is a turn-mill center built around a B-axis for simultaneous 5-axis machining, sized for workpieces up to 430 mm (16.9 in) in diameter and 800 mm (31.5 in) long. Travels are 455 mm (17.9 in) in X, 210 mm (8.3 in) in Y and 800 mm (31.5 in) in Z. Bar capacity is 65 mm (2.6 in).
The B-axis is turned by a direct drive motor (DDM) installed in the axis itself. Its rotation range is 240° and its rotation speed 100 rpm. A direct drive has no gear train between motor and axis, so there is no backlash to cross when the axis reverses in the middle of a contour, and at 100 rpm the head swings from one angled feature to the next quickly. Both points count for more in 5-axis contouring of complex parts than in indexed drilling and milling.
The tool spindle takes Capto C5 as standard. Its maximum speed is 12,000 rpm, and a 20,000 rpm spindle is an option. Which one to order follows from the tools: 12,000 rpm covers general milling and drilling in steel, while the faster spindle is for small cutters and aluminium. DMG MORI's page states no power or torque for either, so ask for the spindle curves with the quotation.
In the NTX line this model sits between two quite different sizes. The NTX 500 has 375 mm (14.8 in) of X, 150 mm (5.9 in) of Y and 610 mm (24 in) of Z. The NTX 2000 jumps to 675 mm (26.6 in), 300 mm (11.8 in) and 1,562 mm (61.5 in). A part longer than 800 mm (31.5 in) therefore means a much larger machine.
Two construction points are stated. Cooling oil circulates through the machine body to control thermal displacement, and the bed and linear motion guides are described as high-rigidity. Automation is optional: DMG MORI names an in-machine travelling robot and a workpiece unloader among the available equipment.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- B-axis with a direct drive motor (DDM): 240° rotation range at 100 rpm for simultaneous 5-axis machining
- Capto C5 tool spindle as standard at 12,000 rpm, with a 20,000 rpm spindle optional
- 210 mm (8.3 in) of Y travel with 455 mm (17.9 in) of X on a machine for 430 mm (16.9 in) parts
- Cooling oil circulation in the machine body controls thermal displacement
- Optional automation includes an in-machine travelling robot and a workpiece unloader
Limitations
- The 20,000 rpm tool spindle is an option; the standard spindle tops out at 12,000 rpm
- Bar capacity is 65 mm (2.6 in), so anything larger, up to the 430 mm (16.9 in) maximum, is chuck work loaded part by part
- Z travel and maximum workpiece length are both 800 mm (31.5 in); the next size listed, the NTX 2000, has 1,562 mm (61.5 in) of Z
- The in-machine robot and workpiece unloader are optional equipment, not part of the base machine
- No spindle power or torque figure is stated on DMG MORI's page for this model

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The B-axis has a rotation range of 240° and a rotation speed of 100 rpm. It is driven by a direct drive motor (DDM) installed in the axis, which DMG MORI lists for simultaneous 5-axis machining of complex parts.
02
A Capto C5 tool spindle is standard. Its maximum speed is 12,000 rpm, and DMG MORI offers a 20,000 rpm spindle as an option. No power or torque figure is given on the manufacturer's page, so request the spindle data for the version you intend to buy.
03
Workpieces up to 430 mm (16.9 in) in diameter and 800 mm (31.5 in) long. Bar capacity is 65 mm (2.6 in). The axes travel 455 mm (17.9 in) in X, 210 mm (8.3 in) in Y and 800 mm (31.5 in) in Z.
04
Yes, as an option. DMG MORI lists optional automation equipment for this model and names two items: an in-machine travelling robot and a workpiece unloader. Neither is described as standard, so they need to be specified in the order.
05
The NTX 1000 travels 455 mm (17.9 in) in X, 210 mm (8.3 in) in Y and 800 mm (31.5 in) in Z. The NTX 500 is smaller at 375 mm (14.8 in), 150 mm (5.9 in) and 610 mm (24 in). The NTX 2000 is far larger at 675 mm (26.6 in), 300 mm (11.8 in) and 1,562 mm (61.5 in), close to twice the Z travel.
