Overview

The DMG MORI NZ TRE is a production turn-mill center for parts cut from bar up to 72 mm (2.8 in) or shafts up to 1,290 mm (50.8 in) long, on 210 mm (8.3 in) of X travel, 80 mm (3.1 in) of Y and 1,290 mm (50.8 in) of Z.

Tooling is where a buyer has the most to decide. DMG MORI offers 12 stations for VDI 30 and BMT 40, or 16 stations for VDI 25 and BMT 42/64. The larger count keeps more tools standing ready and cuts changeovers between part numbers; the smaller count comes with the larger VDI shank. The turret drive is a built-in motor at 12,000 rpm with up to 24 Nm / 16 kW. That is plenty of speed and modest torque, which fits small end mills, drills and cross holes in bar parts and rules out heavy face milling.

A B-axis is possible, with a swivel range of -10° to +100°. DMG MORI's point is that standard tools replace special angle tools and that 5-axis simultaneous operation becomes possible, so angled holes and chamfers no longer need a dedicated holder for each angle.

The main and counter spindles are rated at 174 Nm at 100% DC, with 5,000 rpm as standard and up to 7,000 rpm available. A TWIN spindle (TS) adds two independent work areas, a turning function with up to 4,000 rpm and 60 Nm, a rotating guide bush at up to 5,000 rpm and a steady rest function.

Against the NZX 2000, which lists 110 mm (4.3 in) of Y and 810 mm (31.9 in) of Z, the NZ TRE has less Y travel and more Z on the same 210 mm (8.3 in) of X.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Choice of 12 stations for VDI 30 and BMT 40, or 16 stations for VDI 25 and BMT 42/64
12,000 rpm built-in motor turret drive for small tools that need speed
B-axis possible with a -10° to +100° swivel range, for 5-axis simultaneous operation with standard tools
Main and counter spindle rated at 174 Nm at 100% DC
1,290 mm (50.8 in) of Z travel, against 810 mm (31.9 in) on the NZX 1500 and NZX 2000

Limitations

Driven tool drive is limited to 24 Nm / 16 kW, which excludes heavy milling
Y travel is 80 mm (3.1 in), less than the 110 mm (4.3 in) of the NZX 1500 and NZX 2000
Standard spindle speed is 5,000 rpm; 7,000 rpm is the upper version
The 16-station turret uses the smaller VDI 25 shank

Best For

Bar parts up to 72 mm (2.8 in) with many small drilled and milled features Part families that need 16 stations of tooling kept set up Angled holes and chamfers cut with standard tools on the B-axis Shafts up to 1,290 mm (50.8 in) long

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What tooling interfaces are available on the NZ TRE?

Two configurations are listed: 12 stations for VDI 30 and BMT 40, or 16 stations for VDI 25 and BMT 42/64. Both are driven by a 12,000 rpm built-in motor turret with up to 24 Nm / 16 kW.

02 How strong is the milling drive on the NZ TRE?

Up to 24 Nm and 16 kW at up to 12,000 rpm. That suits small-diameter end mills, drills and taps. For comparison the turning spindles are rated at 174 Nm at 100% DC, so this is a turning machine with fast, light driven tools.

03 What is the B-axis swivel range on the NZ TRE?

From -10° to +100°. DMG MORI lists the B-axis as possible on the turret positions and gives two uses for it: standard tools in place of special angle tools, and 5-axis simultaneous operation. Confirm how many positions carry it on the machine quoted.

04 How does the NZ TRE compare with the NZX 2000?

Both have 210 mm (8.3 in) of X travel. The NZX 2000 lists 110 mm (4.3 in) of Y and 810 mm (31.9 in) of Z. The NZ TRE has 80 mm (3.1 in) of Y and 1,290 mm (50.8 in) of Z, so it gives up some off-centre milling width for a longer part.

05 Is the TWIN spindle on the NZ TRE a steady rest or a spindle?

Both. DMG MORI lists a turning function with up to 4,000 rpm and 60 Nm at 100% DC, a SWISSTYPE function with a rotating guide bush at up to 5,000 rpm, and a steady rest function. It divides the machine into two independent work areas.
