Overview

The DMG MORI NTX 3000 is the largest-bar member of a trio of mid-size turn-mill centers. It passes bar up to 102 mm (4 in) and turns workpieces up to 670 mm (26.4 in) in diameter and 1,519 mm (59.8 in) long, on travels of 675 mm (26.6 in) in X, 300 mm (11.8 in) in Y and 1,562 mm (61.5 in) in Z.

Those travels are the same on the NTX 2000 and the NTX 2500. What the bigger bar capacity takes away is a little length: the NTX 3000 lists 1,519 mm (59.8 in) of workpiece length, the NTX 2500 lists 1,530 mm (60.2 in) and the NTX 2000 lists 1,538 mm (60.6 in). Bar capacity runs the other way, 65 mm (2.6 in) on the NTX 2000 and 80 mm (3.1 in) on the NTX 2500.

A 102 mm (4 in) bar is heavy stock, and the parts cut from it tend to be shafts and spindles with milled flats, cross holes and keyways. The machine is equipped for that mix. A Direct Drive Motor (DDM) turns the B-axis for simultaneous 5-axis machining. The Y-axis covers 300 mm, ±150 mm either side of centre, and X runs from -125 to +550 mm so that tools can work beyond the centreline.

Turret 2 carries a Y-axis as well, with a stroke of ±40 mm. On bar work that lets the turret mill and drill off centre while the tool spindle is occupied with another feature. Spindle 2 is described as making 6-face machining available, so the cut-off side can be finished without a second machine; confirm it is included in the build you are quoted.

The tool spindle, compactMASTER, measures 350 mm, short enough to leave room around large parts. Spindle motors and ball screws are cooled by circulating oil to hold thermal displacement in check, and there is an energy-saving setting with a display of the saving.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

102 mm (4 in) bar capacity, against 65 mm (2.6 in) on the NTX 2000 and 80 mm (3.1 in) on the NTX 2500
Travels of 675 mm (26.6 in), 300 mm (11.8 in) and 1,562 mm (61.5 in) for parts up to 670 mm (26.4 in) in diameter
B-axis turned by a Direct Drive Motor (DDM), for simultaneous 5-axis machining
Turret 2 with ±40 mm of Y, and Spindle 2 available for 6-face machining
Circulating cooling oil in the spindle motors and ball screws controls thermal displacement

Limitations

Workpiece length is 1,519 mm (59.8 in), the shortest of the three sizes: the NTX 2000 lists 1,538 mm (60.6 in)
Bar capacity of 102 mm (4 in) is still far below the 670 mm (26.4 in) turning diameter, so larger parts are chucked one at a time
Spindle 2 is worded as available; check that it is part of the quoted build before planning 6-face work
DMG MORI's page gives no spindle speed, power or torque figures for this model

Best For

Shafts and spindles from bar up to 102 mm (4 in) Turned parts up to 670 mm (26.4 in) that also need 5-axis milling Long workpieces up to 1,519 mm (59.8 in) Complete machining on six faces using Spindle 2

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How big a bar can the NTX 3000 run?

Up to 102 mm (4 in). On the same travels the NTX 2500 is limited to 80 mm (3.1 in) and the NTX 2000 to 65 mm (2.6 in), so bar size is the reason to choose this model over the other two.

02 Do the NTX 3000 and NTX 2000 have the same working envelope?

The axis travels are the same: the NTX 2000 also lists 675 mm (26.6 in) of X, 300 mm (11.8 in) of Y and 1,562 mm (61.5 in) of Z. Maximum workpiece length differs slightly. It is 1,519 mm (59.8 in) on the NTX 3000 and 1,538 mm (60.6 in) on the NTX 2000.

03 What Y-axis travel does the NTX 3000 have?

The tool spindle has 300 mm (11.8 in) of Y, stated as ±150 mm. Turret 2 has a separate Y-axis with a stroke of ±40 mm. Off-centre features inside the smaller band can be machined by either carrier; anything further out is work for the tool spindle.

04 Is the NTX 3000 capable of simultaneous 5-axis machining?

Yes. DMG MORI lists simultaneous 5-axis machining with a Direct Drive Motor (DDM) on the B-axis. Together with X travel that runs from -125 to +550 mm, this lets the tool spindle approach a part at an angle and from beyond the centreline.

05 What keeps the NTX 3000 thermally stable?

Cooling oil is circulated through the spindle motors and the ball screws, which DMG MORI states controls thermal displacement. The page gives no accuracy figure for the model, so ask for the acceptance values if tolerances are tight.
