Overview
The DMG Mori NTX 2000 is a compact turn-mill center that's become a go-to for shops running complex, high-value parts in a single setup. It sits in the middle of DMG Mori's NTX lineup between the smaller NTX 1000 and the larger NTX 2500, covering a sweet spot for mid-size multitasking work. The "2000" loosely refers to the machine's capacity class, and it handles workpieces up to 670 mm (26.4 in) diameter and 1,538 mm (60.6 in) length.
The main spindle delivers 22 kW (30 hp) at 5,000 RPM with 230 Nm of torque, and the sub-spindle matches it spec-for-spec. Both run 8-inch chucks with 65 mm (2.6 in) bar capacity. What really sets this machine apart is the compactMASTER turn-mill spindle on the B-axis. At just 350 mm long, it's the shortest tool spindle in its class, which means you get more usable space inside the work envelope. It puts out 18.5 kW (24.7 hp) at 12,000 RPM through a Capto C6 interface, with BT40, CAT40, and HSK-A63 available as alternatives.
The B-axis swivels through a continuous 240-degree range (plus/minus 120 degrees) via Direct Drive Motor, giving you true simultaneous 5-axis capability. X-axis travel reaches 675 mm (26.6 in) with an extended range from -125 to +550 mm, and Y-axis provides plus/minus 150 mm (300 mm total / 11.8 in). The Z-axis covers 1,562 mm (61.5 in). There's also a lower turret with 10 live tool stations and its own Y-axis stroke of plus/minus 40 mm, so you can run parallel processing while the B-axis milling head handles finish work.
Tool magazine holds 38 stations standard, expandable to 76. Tool change time is 1.25 seconds. Rapid traverse hits 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) on all main axes. The machine runs on a Fanuc 31iB5 control, though Siemens CELOS is available as an alternative on newer 3rd Generation models.
The 3rd Generation update brought a 400V turning spindle, CELOS X as standard, and improved thermal displacement control through coolant circulation in spindle motors and ball screws. Floor space is 4,080 x 2,980 mm, and the machine weighs around 15,270 kg (33,594 lb). At $400,000-$600,000 configured, it competes directly with the Mazak Integrex i-200, Okuma Multus B250II, and the larger DMG Mori CTX beta 1250 TC. Aerospace, medical device, automotive, and precision equipment shops get the most value here.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- compactMASTER B-axis milling head at 350 mm is the shortest in its class, maximizing usable machining envelope inside the work area
- Dual identical spindles (22 kW / 230 Nm each at 5,000 RPM) enable balanced main and backworking operations without compromising on either side
- B-axis Direct Drive Motor with +/-120 degrees of continuous swivel gives true simultaneous 5-axis capability for complex contour work
- Lower turret with 10 live tool stations and its own Y-axis stroke allows parallel processing, cutting cycle times on production runs
- 675 mm X-axis travel with the extended -125 to +550 mm range provides more flexibility for off-center and large-diameter work than most competitors
- 38-to-76 tool magazine with 1.25 second changes supports long unattended runs across multiple operations
- Thermal displacement control through coolant circulation in spindle motors and ball screws holds tight tolerances over extended machining cycles
Limitations
- Starting above $400K, it's a major capital investment that only pays off if you're consolidating multiple setups into one machine
- 65 mm bar capacity limits bar-fed work compared to larger-bore machines; shops running 3-inch or bigger stock will need to slug it
- Programming simultaneous 5-axis turn-mill work demands strong CAM support (Esprit, hyperMILL, Mastercam) and experienced operators
- At 15,270 kg, the machine needs serious foundation work and rigging logistics that add to the installed cost
- DMG Mori service and parts costs tend to run higher than some Japanese competitors, and some owners report slow parts availability in certain regions

Frequently Asked Questions
01
A new NTX 2000 starts around $400,000 in base configuration. Adding the expanded 76-tool magazine, high-pressure coolant, automation (Robo2Go or MATRIS), and gantry loader pushes the price toward $500,000-$600,000. Used machines from 2013-2018 sell in the $150,000-$300,000 range depending on hours, configuration, and control version.
02
Both are DMG Mori turn-mill centers, but they come from different design lineages. The NTX originated from Mori Seiki's Japanese engineering and runs a Fanuc control, while the CTX comes from the German DMG side with Siemens. The NTX 2000 has longer Z-axis travel (1,562 vs 1,200 mm) and a 10-station lower turret, while the CTX beta 1250 TC offers a more powerful main spindle (33 kW vs 22 kW) and larger bar capacity (102 vs 65 mm). The 3rd Gen NTX now offers Siemens CELOS as well.
03
The 3rd Generation brought a 400V turning spindle for better cutting capability, CELOS X interface as standard, improved thermal displacement control technology, and Green Transformation (GX) energy-saving features. The mechanical platform is similar, but the 3rd Gen delivers better accuracy over long runs and a more modern operator interface.
04
Both are B-axis turn-mill centers in a similar size class. The NTX 2000 has longer Z-axis travel (1,562 vs 1,524 mm) and a 10-station lower turret for parallel processing. The Integrex offers MAZATROL conversational programming that's faster for short runs and one-offs. Service networks are comparable in North America. Pricing is similar, with the NTX 2000 often slightly higher depending on configuration.
05
Most NTX 2000s run a Fanuc 31iB5, which is a high-end 5-axis capable control. The 3rd Generation models also offer Siemens-based CELOS X with MAPPS as an alternative. Older models (pre-2020) typically use Fanuc 31iB or 31iB5 with DMG Mori's MAPPS interface on top.
06
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. It won't replace a dedicated gear machine for high-volume production, but for low-to-medium volumes it eliminates an entire secondary operation and setup.
