Overview

The DMG MORI NZX-S 2500 is a compact production lathe designed for shaft machining, taking workpieces up to 200 mm (7.9 in) in diameter and 700 mm (27.6 in) long on 120 mm (4.7 in) of X travel and 770 mm (30.3 in) of Z.

It is the thicker, shorter machine of the NZX-S pair. The NZX-S 1500 has 60 mm (2.4 in) of X travel and 1,100 mm (43.3 in) of Z, so the NZX-S 2500 doubles the X travel and gives up 30% of the Z. Choose between them by the part: a shaft too thick for the smaller machine belongs here, and one longer than 700 mm (27.6 in) does not fit this one.

DMG MORI builds the machine on a vertical bed and lists better chip disposal as the result, since chips fall away from the cut instead of collecting under it. The same layout is credited with good access to the workpiece and tools for setup. The body was designed by FEM analysis to be light but rigid, and the structure is symmetrical about the spindle to control thermal displacement and hold accuracy in continuous machining.

The case DMG MORI makes for the machine is output per unit of floor area: a compact design with a reduced footprint. No floor dimensions are published in the highlights, so ask for the layout drawing before planning a line around it.

The control is DMG MORI's COMPACTline with MAPPS Pro on a 12.1-inch multi-touch screen. The table lists X and Z travel only. No Y travel, turret count or driven tool figure is given for this model, where the NZX 2000 lists 110 mm (4.3 in) of Y travel.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Workpieces up to 200 mm (7.9 in) in diameter and 700 mm (27.6 in) long
120 mm (4.7 in) of X travel, double the 60 mm (2.4 in) of the NZX-S 1500
Vertical bed, listed by DMG MORI for better chip disposal
Structure symmetrical about the spindle to control thermal displacement in continuous machining
COMPACTline with MAPPS Pro on a 12.1-inch multi-touch screen

Limitations

Maximum workpiece length is 700 mm (27.6 in); the NZX-S 1500 has 1,100 mm (43.3 in) of Z travel for longer shafts
No Y travel is listed, where the NZX 1500 and NZX 2000 have 110 mm (4.3 in)
DMG MORI's published data for this model gives no spindle speed, power or driven tool figure
The reduced footprint is claimed without a published floor dimension

Best For

Shafts up to 200 mm (7.9 in) in diameter and 700 mm (27.6 in) long Volume shaft turning where floor space per machine matters Continuous production runs that depend on stable thermal behaviour Shaft parts too thick for the 60 mm (2.4 in) X travel of the NZX-S 1500

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size parts does the NZX-S 2500 take?

Workpieces up to 200 mm (7.9 in) in diameter and 700 mm (27.6 in) long. X travel is 120 mm (4.7 in) and Z travel is 770 mm (30.3 in). DMG MORI describes the design as optimal for shaft machining.

02 How does the NZX-S 2500 compare with the NZX-S 1500?

The NZX-S 2500 has 120 mm (4.7 in) of X travel and 770 mm (30.3 in) of Z. The NZX-S 1500 has 60 mm (2.4 in) of X and 1,100 mm (43.3 in) of Z. That makes the NZX-S 2500 the machine for thicker, shorter shafts and the NZX-S 1500 the one for thinner, longer shafts.

03 Why does the NZX-S 2500 have a vertical bed?

DMG MORI lists better chip disposal thanks to the vertical bed, and good access to the workpiece and tools for setups. On a production shaft lathe, chips that drop clear of the cutting zone reduce stoppages for cleaning.

04 What control is on the NZX-S 2500?

DMG MORI's COMPACTline operation system with MAPPS Pro, on a 12.1-inch multi-touch screen. No alternative control is named in the published highlights for this model.

05 Does the NZX-S 2500 have a Y-axis or driven tools?

DMG MORI's table for this model lists X travel of 120 mm (4.7 in) and Z travel of 770 mm (30.3 in) only, and the highlights give no driven tool figure. If the parts need milling, ask DMG MORI what is offered. The NZX 2000 lists 110 mm (4.3 in) of Y travel.
