Overview

The DMG MORI NZ DUE is a production turning center for bar and shaft parts, with a main and a counter spindle, 72 mm (2.8 in) of bar capacity and a maximum workpiece length of 1,290 mm (50.8 in). Travels are 210 mm (8.3 in) in X, 80 mm (3.1 in) in Y and 1,290 mm (50.8 in) in Z.

Start with the spindle speed, because DMG MORI quotes two figures. Both spindles are rated at 174 Nm at 100% DC. The speed is given as up to 7,000 rpm with 5,000 rpm as standard, so 7,000 rpm is the higher version, and a quoted machine should be checked for which one it carries. The spindles come with a 36 month warranty and unlimited spindle hours.

Length is what separates this machine from the NZ DUE Formula, which has the same 210 mm (8.3 in) X and 80 mm (3.1 in) Y travels on 740 mm (29.1 in) of Z. The longer Z of the NZ DUE makes room for shafts and for the TWIN spindle (TS), which DMG MORI calls ideal on the long bed but also possible on the short bed version.

The TWIN spindle creates two independent work areas for 6-sided complete machining. It turns at up to 4,000 rpm and 60 Nm at 100% DC, works as a rotating guide bush at up to 5,000 rpm for SWISSTYPE machining of long slender parts, and can serve as a steady rest.

Driven tools run from a 12,000 rpm built-in motor turret with up to 24 Nm / 16 kW. That is a fast drive with little torque, suited to small end mills and drills. Tooling is 12 stations for VDI 30 and BMT 40, or 16 stations for VDI 25 and BMT 45.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Main and counter spindle both rated at 174 Nm at 100% DC, with up to 7,000 rpm
1,290 mm (50.8 in) of Z travel and workpiece length, against 740 mm (29.1 in) of Z on the NZ DUE Formula
TWIN spindle (TS) with a turning function up to 4,000 rpm and 60 Nm, a rotating guide bush up to 5,000 rpm and a steady rest function
12,000 rpm built-in motor turret with up to 24 Nm / 16 kW
A B-axis with a -10° to +100° swivel range is possible, allowing standard tools in place of special angle tools
36 month spindle warranty with unlimited spindle hours

Limitations

5,000 rpm is the standard spindle speed; 7,000 rpm is the upper version
Driven tool torque is up to 24 Nm, which restricts milling to small cutters and drills
Y travel is 80 mm (3.1 in), against 110 mm (4.3 in) on the NZX 1500 and NZX 2000
Bar capacity is 72 mm (2.8 in); DMG MORI's table gives no maximum chucking diameter for this model

Best For

Bar parts from stock up to 72 mm (2.8 in) finished on main and counter spindle Shafts up to 1,290 mm (50.8 in) long Long slender parts supported by the TWIN spindle as a rotating guide bush or steady rest Parts with small milled and drilled features at up to 12,000 rpm

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the NZ DUE and the NZ DUE Formula?

In the published travels, Z. The NZ DUE has 1,290 mm (50.8 in) of Z travel and the NZ DUE Formula has 740 mm (29.1 in). X travel of 210 mm (8.3 in) and Y travel of 80 mm (3.1 in) are the same on both.

02 How fast do the NZ DUE spindles turn?

DMG MORI gives the main and counter spindle as up to 7,000 rpm, with 5,000 rpm as standard, and 174 Nm at 100% DC. Check which speed version is quoted, because the 7,000 rpm figure is not the standard one.

03 What does the TWIN spindle do on the NZ DUE?

It gives two independent work areas for 6-sided complete machining. It has a turning function with up to 4,000 rpm and 60 Nm at 100% DC, a SWISSTYPE function as a rotating guide bush at up to 5,000 rpm, and a steady rest function. DMG MORI calls it ideal on the long bed but also possible on the short bed version.

04 How many tool stations does the NZ DUE turret have?

Either 12 stations for VDI 30 and BMT 40, or 16 stations for VDI 25 and BMT 45. The driven tools run from a 12,000 rpm built-in motor turret with up to 24 Nm / 16 kW.

05 Can the NZ DUE have a B-axis?

DMG MORI lists a B-axis as possible, with a swivel range of -10° to +100°. Its stated purpose is to let standard tools replace special angle tools and to make 5-axis simultaneous operation possible. Confirm which turret carries it on the machine quoted.
