Overview

The DMG MORI NZX 6000 is a heavy long-bed lathe: workpieces up to 900 mm (35.4 in) in diameter and 4,000 mm (157.5 in) long, on travels of 485 mm (19.1 in) in X, 200 mm (7.9 in) in Y and 4,150 mm (163.4 in) in Z.

It shares its X and Y strokes with the NLX 6000, which has 485 mm (19.1 in) and 200 mm (7.9 in) but 2,150 mm (84.6 in) of Z. The NZX 6000 is therefore the one to look at when the part is the same size across but close to twice as long.

DMG MORI gives few figures beyond the envelope. The spindle is gear driven with no belt, a layout the maker says gives high output from a small unit, and it is offered with a variety of through-spindle holes for long and large-diameter workpieces. The hole sizes are not published, so the bore has to be settled with the quotation. The bed is a thick trapezoidal section for torsional rigidity, and the slideways are wide, which DMG MORI relates to stable cutting in milling as well as in turning.
