Overview

The DMG MORI NVX 5080 is a vertical machining center with 800 × 530 × 510 mm (31.5 × 20.9 × 20.1 in) of travel that carries workpieces up to 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb). It is the middle model of the NVX 5000 2nd Generation, between the NVX 5060 with 600 mm (23.6 in) of X and the NVX 5100 with 1,050 mm (41.3 in). Y and Z are the same on all three.

A tonne on the table changes how the machine is loaded. DMG MORI's answer is a ceiling part that opens, together with a wide door opening, so a crane can lower the part straight onto the table. The maximum workpiece is 1,100 mm (43.3 in) long, 600 mm (23.6 in) wide and 510 mm (20.1 in) high. Length and width both exceed the travels, so a full-size part overhangs the cutting area and has to be repositioned to be machined from end to end.

Which spindle goes in decides what kind of machine this is. With the No. 50 taper powerMASTER it is a heavy-duty machine for steel and cast iron, and that spindle carries a growth sensor for thermal expansion compensation. With the No. 40 taper speedMASTER it is a faster general-purpose machine, and run-out accuracy is the point DMG MORI stresses. The Highlights attach no rpm, power or torque to either, so those figures must be requested per spindle.

Underneath, X and Y use wide slideways and Z uses roller guides, with a column shaped to limit thermal displacement. Chip handling is where the base machine is bare: the internal spiral-type chip conveyor, the through-spindle coolant system with its unit on the coolant tank, and the tank for collecting casting sludge are each listed as options. Put them in the specification from the start if the work is cast iron or deep-hole drilling.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb) workpiece limit with 800 × 530 × 510 mm (31.5 × 20.9 × 20.1 in) of travel
The ceiling part opens for crane loading, alongside a wide door opening
powerMASTER No. 50 taper spindle for heavy-duty cutting, with a spindle growth sensor for thermal expansion compensation
speedMASTER No. 40 taper spindle for high-speed machining
Slideways on the X- and Y-axis and roller guides on the Z-axis

Limitations

A full-length 1,100 mm (43.3 in) workpiece overhangs the 800 mm (31.5 in) X travel and cannot be machined end to end in one setup
The chip conveyor, through-spindle coolant system and casting-sludge coolant tank are all listed as options
DMG MORI's Highlights give no rpm, power or torque for the speedMASTER or powerMASTER spindle
Y travel of 530 mm (20.9 in) is less than the 600 mm (23.6 in) maximum workpiece width

Best For

Steel and cast-iron parts up to 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb), with the No. 50 taper spindle Plates and housings within 800 × 530 mm (31.5 × 20.9 in) of X and Y travel Crane-loaded work that benefits from the opening ceiling General milling at higher speeds on the No. 40 taper speedMASTER spindle

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How heavy a workpiece can the NVX 5080 carry, and how is it loaded?

The limit is 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb), for a workpiece up to 1,100 mm (43.3 in) long, 600 mm (23.6 in) wide and 510 mm (20.1 in) high. DMG MORI lists a wide door opening and a ceiling part that also opens, so loading and unloading with a crane is possible from above.

02 Should I choose the speedMASTER or the powerMASTER spindle on the NVX 5080?

The speedMASTER is a No. 40 taper spindle that DMG MORI positions for high-speed machining, with improved run-out accuracy. The powerMASTER is a No. 50 taper spindle for heavy-duty cutting, with a spindle growth sensor. Large cutters in steel and cast iron point to the powerMASTER, small tools and aluminium to the speedMASTER. Neither has speed or power figures in the Highlights, so compare the data sheets.

03 What comes as an option on the NVX 5080?

Three items in DMG MORI's chip disposal list are marked as options: the coolant tank for collecting casting sludge, the through-spindle coolant system with its unit on the coolant tank, and the internal spiral-type chip conveyor. A machine ordered without them has none of the three.

04 How does the NVX 5080 differ from the NVX 5060 and NVX 5100?

In X travel. The NVX 5060 has 600 mm (23.6 in), the NVX 5080 has 800 mm (31.5 in) and the NVX 5100 has 1,050 mm (41.3 in). All three have 530 mm (20.9 in) of Y and 510 mm (20.1 in) of Z.

05 How does the NVX 5080 compare with the CMX 800 V?

The CMX 800 V has 800 mm (31.5 in) of X, 560 mm (22 in) of Y and 510 mm (20.1 in) of Z travel. The NVX 5080 has the same X and Z and 530 mm (20.9 in) of Y, so the two cover almost the same envelope and differ in construction and equipment.
