How much does the DMG Mori NTX 2000 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 2000 is a B-axis turn-mill center with 675 mm (26.6 in) of X, 300 mm (11.8 in) of Y and 1,562 mm (61.5 in) of Z travel. It takes workpieces up to 670 mm (26.4 in) in diameter and 1,538 mm (60.6 in) long, and bar up to 65 mm (2.6 in).
Three NTX models share this frame size. The NTX 2500 and the NTX 3000 both list the same 675 mm (26.6 in), 300 mm (11.8 in) and 1,562 mm (61.5 in) travels, so travel does not separate them. Bar capacity does: the NTX 2500 passes 80 mm (3.1 in) and the NTX 3000 passes 102 mm (4 in). The NTX 2000 is the one to pick when parts come from bar of 65 mm (2.6 in) or less, or are chucked, and a larger through-hole would go unused.
DMG MORI gives the X stroke as -125 to +550 mm and the Y stroke as ±150 mm. The 125 mm on the minus side lets the tool spindle cross the spindle centreline, which is what allows a milling cutter to work across the full face of a part or a drill to be set below centre. Much of the usable envelope comes from the tool spindle itself: the compactMASTER is 350 mm long, and a short head takes up less of the stroke when the B-axis is swivelled.
The B-axis is driven by a Direct Drive Motor (DDM) for simultaneous 5-axis machining. Turret 2, the second tool carrier, has its own Y-axis with a stroke of ±40 mm, and 6-face machining is available with Spindle 2 so that a component can be completed on one machine. DMG MORI words the second spindle as available, so confirm it is in the configuration quoted.
For accuracy over long cycles, cooling oil circulates through the spindle motors and ball screws to control thermal displacement. The machine also has an energy-saving setting with a display of its effect.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 670 mm (26.4 in) maximum workpiece diameter on a 675 mm (26.6 in) X stroke that runs from -125 to +550 mm
- 300 mm (11.8 in) of Y, ±150 mm about centre, for off-centre milling on large-diameter parts
- B-axis with Direct Drive Motor (DDM) for simultaneous 5-axis machining
- Turret 2 has a Y-axis stroke of ±40 mm, so the second tool carrier is not confined to on-centre work
- Cooling oil circulation in spindle motors and ball screws controls thermal displacement
Limitations
- Bar capacity is 65 mm (2.6 in); the NTX 2500 with 80 mm (3.1 in) and the NTX 3000 with 102 mm (4 in) share the same travels
- Spindle 2 for 6-face machining is listed as available, so it must be confirmed in the configuration ordered
- Turret 2 has ±40 mm of Y against ±150 mm on the tool spindle, so wide off-centre features belong to the upper spindle
- DMG MORI's page states no spindle speed, power or torque for this model; cutting data has to come with the quotation

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Bar capacity, not travel. All three list 675 mm (26.6 in) of X, 300 mm (11.8 in) of Y and 1,562 mm (61.5 in) of Z. The NTX 2000 takes bar up to 65 mm (2.6 in). The NTX 2500 takes 80 mm (3.1 in) and the NTX 3000 takes 102 mm (4 in).
02
X is 675 mm (26.6 in), given as -125 to +550 mm. Y is 300 mm (11.8 in), or ±150 mm. Z is 1,562 mm (61.5 in). The largest workpiece is 670 mm (26.4 in) in diameter and 1,538 mm (60.6 in) long, and bar capacity is 65 mm (2.6 in).
03
DMG MORI's Highlights refer to both. Turret 2 has a Y-axis stroke of ±40 mm. Spindle 2 is described as making 6-face machining available, so that components are completed on one machine. Because the wording is available, check that Spindle 2 is included in the machine you are quoted.
04
The compactMASTER tool spindle is 350 mm long, and DMG MORI ties that to the size of the machining envelope. A short milling head uses up less of the 675 mm X stroke when the B-axis tilts it, leaving more room for the tool and the part.
05
Cooling oil circulates in the spindle motors and the ball screws, the two main heat sources in the drive train. DMG MORI states this controls thermal displacement. No accuracy figure is published on the page for this model.
