Overview
The DMG MORI NZ DUE Formula is the packaged version of the NZ DUE production lathe: a fixed specification with a main and a counter spindle, 72 mm (2.8 in) of bar capacity and 740 mm (29.1 in) of Z travel. X travel is 210 mm (8.3 in), Y travel is 80 mm (3.1 in) and the maximum workpiece length is 740 mm (29.1 in).
DMG MORI describes the Formula as packaged specifications that are simple and easy to understand. The published data bears that out: there is one spindle rating, one turret interface and one bed length. Both spindles run up to 5,000 rpm with 174 Nm at 100% DC, the milling spindle reaches 12,000 rpm, and the turret is listed with 12 stations for BMT 40.
The matching spindles are the point of the design. Because the counter spindle has the same 174 Nm rating as the main spindle, the second operation can be as heavy as the first, and the rating is a 100% DC figure, not a short-time peak. On bar work that lets the cycle be balanced between the two ends of the part. The spindles carry a 3-year warranty with unlimited spindle hours.
The NZ DUE, NZ TRE and NZ QUATTRO all list the same 210 mm (8.3 in) X and 80 mm (3.1 in) Y travels with 1,290 mm (50.8 in) of Z. The Formula's 740 mm (29.1 in) therefore sets its limit. It suits bar parts and short shafts, and longer shafts belong on the NZ DUE.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Main and counter spindle both rated up to 5,000 rpm and 174 Nm at 100% DC
- 72 mm (2.8 in) of bar capacity
- 12,000 rpm milling spindle with 12 stations for BMT 40
- 3-year spindle warranty with unlimited spindle hours
- Packaged specification with one published configuration, which keeps quotations easy to compare
Limitations
- Z travel and maximum workpiece length are 740 mm (29.1 in), against 1,290 mm (50.8 in) of Z on the NZ DUE

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The Formula is a packaged specification with a shorter bed. It has 740 mm (29.1 in) of Z travel, where the NZ DUE has 1,290 mm (50.8 in). The X and Y travels, 210 mm (8.3 in) and 80 mm (3.1 in), are the same on both machines.
02
The main and counter spindle are both listed with up to 5,000 rpm and 174 Nm at 100% DC. DMG MORI covers them with a 3-year warranty and unlimited spindle hours.
03
Bar work capacity is 72 mm (2.8 in) and the maximum workpiece length is 740 mm (29.1 in), which equals the Z travel. DMG MORI's table gives no maximum chucking diameter for this model.
04
The maximum milling spindle speed is 12,000 rpm and the turret has 12 stations for BMT 40. Y travel is 80 mm (3.1 in). No driven tool torque or power is published in the Formula's highlights, so ask for it before committing milling-heavy parts.
