Overview

The DMG MORI NVD 5000 DCG is a vertical machining center listed with 1,020 × 510 × 510 mm (40.2 × 20.1 × 20.1 in) of travel, a BT 40 spindle of 12,000 rpm and a 1,200 kg (2,646 lb) table load. It is absent from DMG MORI's current lineup and is probably an older model, which makes this a page for someone assessing an existing machine. Treat every figure as a listed figure to be confirmed from that machine's manual.

As listed, the spindle runs to 12,000 rpm, with 15,000 rpm as an option, and is rated 11 kW (14.7 hp) continuous. The magazine holds 30 tools on an arm-type ATC, with 40 or 60 as options, and chip-to-chip time is 1.5 sec. Rapid traverse is 50 m/min (1,969 ipm).

The listed accuracy equipment is direct scale feedback on X, Y and Z and linear roller guides with DCG drive, with a positioning accuracy of ±0.002 mm (±0.00008 in) and a repeatability of ±0.001 mm (±0.00004 in). Workpieces up to 1,320 mm (52 in) long, 600 mm (23.6 in) wide and 510 mm (20.1 in) high are listed. That length is greater than the X travel, so the ends of the longest part lie outside the reach of the spindle. The control is listed as FANUC 0i-MF Plus / MAPPS.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

1,020 mm (40.2 in) of X travel with a listed table load of 1,200 kg (2,646 lb)
Direct scale feedback on X, Y and Z, with positioning accuracy listed at ±0.002 mm (±0.00008 in)
12,000 rpm BT 40 spindle, with 15,000 rpm listed as an option
30-tool arm-type ATC with a listed chip-to-chip time of 1.5 sec
Rapid traverse of 50 m/min (1,969 ipm)

Limitations

Absent from DMG MORI's current lineup, so the listed figures must be confirmed on the individual machine
Listed spindle power is 11 kW (14.7 hp) continuous and no torque figure is listed, so roughing capacity cannot be judged from the table
The 15,000 rpm spindle and the magazines of 40 or 60 tools are options and cannot be assumed on an existing machine
Y travel of 510 mm (20.1 in) is narrower than the 600 mm (23.6 in) maximum workpiece width

Best For

Long precision parts within 1,020 × 510 × 510 mm (40.2 × 20.1 × 20.1 in) of travel Finishing work that relies on direct scale feedback and a listed repeatability of ±0.001 mm (±0.00004 in) Heavy fixtures and workpieces up to the listed 1,200 kg (2,646 lb) Jobs with frequent tool changes, at a listed 1.5 sec chip to chip

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is the NVD 5000 DCG a current DMG MORI model?

It is not in DMG MORI's current lineup and is probably an older model. The listed figures here, such as 1,020 × 510 × 510 mm of travel and a 12,000 rpm BT 40 spindle, describe the model in general. The options a particular machine was built with have to be read from its own documents.

02 What are the travels and workpiece limits of the NVD 5000 DCG?

Listed travels are 1,020 mm (40.2 in) in X and 510 mm (20.1 in) in Y and Z. The maximum workpiece is listed as 1,320 mm (52 in) long, 600 mm (23.6 in) wide and 510 mm (20.1 in) high, and the table load as 1,200 kg (2,646 lb). Length and width of the largest part both exceed the travels.

03 What spindle and tool changer are listed for the NVD 5000 DCG?

A BT 40 spindle with a maximum of 12,000 rpm, or 15,000 rpm as an option, rated 11 kW (14.7 hp) continuous. The arm-type ATC holds 30 tools, with 40 or 60 as options, and the listed chip-to-chip time is 1.5 sec. No spindle torque is listed.

04 How accurate is the NVD 5000 DCG?

The listed positioning accuracy is ±0.002 mm (±0.00008 in) and the listed repeatability ±0.001 mm (±0.00004 in), with direct scale feedback on X, Y and Z. On a machine that has been in service, those figures describe it as built. A current laser or ballbar check is the way to know what it holds today.

05 How does the NVD 5000 DCG compare with the NVD 4000 DCG and NVD 6000 DCG?

The NVD 4000 DCG has 600 × 400 × 400 mm of travel and the NVD 6000 DCG has 900 × 600 × 450 mm. The NVD 5000 DCG is listed with 1,020 × 510 × 510 mm, the longest X and Z of the three, with a Y travel between the other two.
