Overview

The DMG MORI NVD 6000 DCG is a large vertical machining center for die and mold work, with 900 × 600 × 450 mm (35.4 × 23.6 × 17.7 in) of travel and room for workpieces up to 1,000 mm (39.4 in) long, 600 mm (23.6 in) wide and 450 mm (17.7 in) high. The weight limit is 800 kg (1,763.7 lb).

The proportions suit plates more than blocks. X is twice the Z travel and Y is 600 mm, so a mold base or a die shoe can lie flat and be reached across its full width, while deep cavities and tall setups are bounded by 450 mm of Z, which the tool length also has to come out of. Maximum workpiece width and height equal the Y and Z travels. Only in length does the part exceed the travel, 1,000 mm against 900 mm.

Thermal control of the feed drives is what DMG MORI lists under precision: cooling of the motor bracket, ball screw shaft cooling and direct scale feedback. The first two remove heat where the servo motor and the screw generate it, and the scales read the slide position directly, so accuracy does not rest on a screw staying at one temperature through a finishing program that runs for many hours. The die and mold specification includes AI contour control Ⅱ as standard.

The axes are DCG drives, which DMG MORI connects with longer tool life, improved surface quality and roundness, and acceleration. No spindle speed, power, taper or tool capacity is stated in the Highlights for this model. In size it sits apart from its neighbours: the NVD 4000 DCG has 600 × 400 × 400 mm of travel, and the NVX 5100 has more X at 1,050 mm (41.3 in) but 530 mm (20.9 in) of Y.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

900 × 600 × 450 mm (35.4 × 23.6 × 17.7 in) of travel with an 800 kg (1,763.7 lb) workpiece limit
Ball screw shaft cooling and cooling of the motor bracket
Direct scale feedback listed under high precision
AI contour control Ⅱ is standard in the die and mold specification
DCG drives, linked by DMG MORI to improved surface quality and roundness and longer tool life

Limitations

Z travel of 450 mm (17.7 in) is short for the size of the table axes and limits deep cavities and tall setups
Workpiece weight is capped at 800 kg (1,763.7 lb), so a solid steel block near the maximum dimensions is too heavy
No spindle speed, power, taper or tool capacity is stated in DMG MORI's Highlights for this model
A 1,000 mm (39.4 in) long workpiece extends beyond the 900 mm (35.4 in) of X travel

Best For

Mold bases and die plates up to 1,000 mm (39.4 in) long and 600 mm (23.6 in) wide Long finishing cycles where ball screw shaft cooling and direct scale feedback limit thermal drift Contoured die surfaces using the standard AI contour control Ⅱ Workpieces up to 800 kg (1,763.7 lb) that need 600 mm (23.6 in) of Y travel

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How large a mold or die fits on the NVD 6000 DCG?

The maximum workpiece is 1,000 mm (39.4 in) long, 600 mm (23.6 in) wide and 450 mm (17.7 in) high, up to 800 kg (1,763.7 lb). Travels are 900 mm (35.4 in) in X, 600 mm (23.6 in) in Y and 450 mm (17.7 in) in Z. The weight limit will be reached before the dimensional limits on a solid steel part, so check the weight first.

02 How does the NVD 6000 DCG deal with heat?

DMG MORI lists cooling of the motor bracket, ball screw shaft cooling and direct scale feedback. The servo motors and ball screws are the heat sources closest to the axes, and cooling them limits how much the screws grow in a long cycle. Direct scale feedback then measures the slide position independently of the screw.

03 What does DCG contribute on a machine of this size?

With 900 mm (35.4 in) of X travel and an 800 kg (1,763.7 lb) load, the moving masses are large, and any rocking at a reversal leaves a mark on a finished mold surface. DMG MORI states that DCG gives improved surface quality and roundness, acceleration and longer tool life. No figures accompany those statements.

04 How does the NVD 6000 DCG compare with the NVD 4000 DCG?

The NVD 4000 DCG has 600 mm (23.6 in) of X travel and 400 mm (15.7 in) of Y and Z. The NVD 6000 DCG has 900 mm (35.4 in) of X, 600 mm (23.6 in) of Y and 450 mm (17.7 in) of Z, so the gain is mostly in table area and only slightly in height.

05 How does the NVD 6000 DCG compare with the NVX 5080 and NVX 5100?

The NVX 5080 has 800 × 530 × 510 mm and the NVX 5100 has 1,050 × 530 × 510 mm of travel. The NVD 6000 DCG, at 900 × 600 × 450 mm, has more Y than either and less Z.
