How much does the DMG Mori NTX 2500 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
Bar up to 80 mm (3.1 in) is what the DMG MORI NTX 2500 brings to the mid-size NTX frame. Its travels are 675 mm (26.6 in) in X, 300 mm (11.8 in) in Y and 1,562 mm (61.5 in) in Z, identical to those of the NTX 2000 and the NTX 3000, and the largest workpiece is 670 mm (26.4 in) in diameter and 1,530 mm (60.2 in) long.
Choosing among the three is a question of stock size. The NTX 2000 has a bar capacity of 65 mm (2.6 in) and the NTX 3000 one of 102 mm (4 in). If the largest bar a shop feeds is above the 65 mm (2.6 in) of the NTX 2000 but within 80 mm (3.1 in), this model takes it without giving up any travel, since nothing about the envelope changes.
The layout is for work on two carriers and two spindles. The upper tool spindle swivels on a B-axis driven by a Direct Drive Motor (DDM), which is what makes simultaneous 5-axis machining possible. Turret 2 has a Y-axis stroke of ±40 mm, enough for keyways, flats and off-centre holes on bar-size parts but far short of the ±150 mm the tool spindle has. With Spindle 2, which DMG MORI words as available, the part is taken over and its back face machined, giving 6-face machining on one machine.
X does not stop at the centreline. The stroke is given as -125 to +550 mm, 675 mm in all, and DMG MORI credits the 350 mm compactMASTER tool spindle for the size of the envelope: the shorter the head, the less of the stroke it uses up when tilted.
Set against the CLX 450 TC, which has 750 mm (29.5 in) of X, 200 mm (7.9 in) of Y and 1,100 mm (43.3 in) of Z, the NTX 2500 gives up some X for 50% more Y and a much longer Z. Cooling oil circulating in the spindle motors and ball screws limits thermal displacement, and an energy-saving setting displays its own effect.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 80 mm (3.1 in) bar capacity on the same 675 mm (26.6 in) X and 1,562 mm (61.5 in) Z as the NTX 2000, which passes 65 mm (2.6 in)
- Direct Drive Motor (DDM) on the B-axis for simultaneous 5-axis machining
- 6-face machining is available with Spindle 2, completing components on one machine
- Y-axis on both carriers: ±150 mm on the tool spindle and ±40 mm on Turret 2
- X stroke of 675 mm runs from -125 to +550 mm, helped by a tool spindle only 350 mm long
Limitations
- Bar over 80 mm (3.1 in) needs the NTX 3000, which passes 102 mm (4 in) on the same travels
- Maximum workpiece length is 1,530 mm (60.2 in), a little under the 1,562 mm (61.5 in) of Z travel
- Turret 2 has only ±40 mm of Y; wider off-centre work has to be done by the tool spindle
- No spindle speed, power, torque or tool magazine size is stated on DMG MORI's page for this model

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Up to 80 mm (3.1 in). That places it between its two frame-mates: the NTX 2000 takes 65 mm (2.6 in) and the NTX 3000 takes 102 mm (4 in). Maximum workpiece diameter for chucked parts is 670 mm (26.4 in).
02
Not in travel. The NTX 2000 lists the same 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 2500 differs in bar capacity, 80 mm (3.1 in), and in maximum workpiece length, 1,530 mm (60.2 in).
03
Turret 2 is the second tool carrier and has a Y-axis with a stroke of ±40 mm. That allows milling and drilling off the centreline within that band. The tool spindle has ±150 mm of Y, so features further from centre are left to it.
04
DMG MORI gives the X-axis stroke as 675 mm, from -125 to +550 mm. The 125 mm on the minus side is travel beyond the zero position, which lets the tool spindle reach across the centreline of the workpiece.
05
The CLX 450 TC has 750 mm (29.5 in) of X, 200 mm (7.9 in) of Y and 1,100 mm (43.3 in) of Z. The NTX 2500 has 675 mm (26.6 in), 300 mm (11.8 in) and 1,562 mm (61.5 in): less X, but more Y for off-centre milling and more Z for long shafts.
