Overview
The DMG Mori NVX 7000 is the largest box-way vertical machining center in DMG Mori’s NVX lineup, built for shops machining big, heavy parts where rigidity is non-negotiable. With 1,540 x 760 x 660 mm (60.6 x 29.9 x 26.0 in) of travel, it handles workpieces that most VMCs simply cannot accommodate.
The standard spindle is a BT 40 at 12,000 RPM with 11 kW (14.7 hp) continuous, but most NVX 7000 buyers opt for the BT 50 variant at 10,000 RPM with 22 kW (29.5 hp) to match the machine’s heavy-cutting personality. Box ways on all three axes provide the vibration damping and rigidity needed for aggressive material removal in steel, cast iron, and stainless.
The 2,000 x 760 mm (78.7 x 29.9 in) table supports up to 2,000 kg (4,409 lb) — enough for large mold bases, dies, and structural aerospace components. Rapid traverse is 36 m/min (1,417 ipm), and the 30-tool arm-type ATC handles changes in 1.8 seconds chip-to-chip.
At 12,000 kg (26,455 lb), the NVX 7000 is a serious piece of iron. That mass translates directly to stability during heavy interrupted cuts and better surface finish on demanding materials. DMG Mori’s thermal compensation system keeps the machine accurate through temperature swings, with positioning accuracy of ±0.003 mm.
New NVX 7000 machines price between $250,000 and $350,000. The NVX 7000 competes with the Okuma MB-56V, Mazak VTC-760C, and other large-format box-way VMCs. Specs sourced from DMG Mori published data.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,540 mm X-travel and 660 mm Z-travel accommodate large mold bases, dies, and structural components that exceed most VMC envelopes
- 2,000 kg table load handles the heaviest fixtures and workpieces without concern for deflection
- Box ways on all axes deliver the vibration damping and rigidity needed for aggressive roughing in hardened steel and cast iron
- 12,000 kg machine weight provides exceptional stability and thermal mass for consistent accuracy during extended cuts
- BT 50 option with 22 kW spindle turns the NVX 7000 into a serious material removal platform for hard metals
- ±0.003 mm positioning accuracy maintains precision despite the machine’s large travel volume
Limitations
- 36 m/min rapids are slow compared to roller-guide machines, adding non-cutting time on parts with many positioning moves
- At 12,000 kg, the machine requires substantial foundation preparation and may not fit in shops with limited floor load capacity
- BT 40 version with 11 kW is underpowered for a machine this size — the BT 50 upgrade is practically mandatory
- Starting at $250K, it is a major capital investment that requires consistent utilization to justify

Frequently Asked Questions
01
New NVX 7000 machines start around $250,000 for BT 40. The BT 50 variant with expanded tool magazine and through-spindle coolant runs $300,000-$350,000. Used units from 2014-2020 sell for $120,000-$200,000.
02
BT 50 is the strong recommendation for the NVX 7000. The machine was designed for heavy cutting in hard materials, and the BT 40 spindle at 11 kW is a mismatch for that mission. The BT 50 with 22 kW gives you the torque and rigidity to use the full travel envelope under load. Only choose BT 40 if your work is predominantly aluminum.
03
The NVX 7000 is substantially larger in every dimension: 92% more X-travel (1,540 vs 800 mm), 43% more Y (760 vs 530), 29% more Z (660 vs 510), nearly triple the table load (2,000 vs 700 kg), and 60% more machine weight (12,000 vs 7,500 kg). Choose the 5080 for parts under 800 mm; the 7000 for anything larger.
04
At 12,000 kg, you need a reinforced concrete foundation minimum 200 mm (8 in) thick. Many shops pour an isolated pad to prevent vibration transmission to and from adjacent equipment. Consult a structural engineer if your floor is on grade with less than 150 mm of concrete. Anti-vibration mounts are recommended.
