Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the DMG Mori SL-603 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.

Overview

The DMG MORI SL-603 is a large-bore heavy turning center built in four bed lengths, for workpieces up to 930 mm (36.6 in) in diameter. X travel is 485 mm (19.1 in). Maximum workpiece length is 1,000 mm (39.4 in) on Type 1000, 2,000 mm (78.7 in) on Type 2000, 3,000 mm (118.1 in) on Type 3000 and 4,000 mm (157.5 in) on Type 4000. The matching Z travels are 1,150 mm (45.3 in), 2,150 mm (84.6 in), 3,150 mm (124 in) and 4,150 mm (163.4 in).

The spindle comes with one of three through-spindle hole diameters: B at 7.1 in, C at 10.8 in and D at 14.6 in. The table's 375 mm (14.8 in) bar capacity can only correspond to the largest of them, so check the bore of the machine quoted against the stock or pipe that has to pass through it.

All axes run on slideways, on a trapezoidal bed with a triangular saddle, a construction DMG MORI describes as suited to large machines and heavy-duty cutting. Turret indexing takes 0.4 sec per station. No spindle speed, power or torque is published. The NLX 6000 has the same 485 mm (19.1 in) of X travel with 2,150 mm (84.6 in) of Z, and adds 200 mm (7.9 in) of Y, an axis the SL-603 table does not list.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Four bed lengths, from 1,150 mm (45.3 in) of Z travel on Type 1000 to 4,150 mm (163.4 in) on Type 4000
Three through-spindle hole diameters: B 7.1 in, C 10.8 in and D 14.6 in
Maximum workpiece diameter of 930 mm (36.6 in)
Slideways on all axes, with turret indexing in 0.4 sec per station

Limitations

No Y travel is listed; the NLX 6000 has 200 mm (7.9 in)
No spindle speed, power or torque figure is published for the SL-603
The 375 mm (14.8 in) bar capacity depends on the bore ordered; the B bore is 7.1 in

Best For

Pipe and large-bore work passing through a spindle hole of up to 14.6 in Shafts up to 4,000 mm (157.5 in) long on Type 4000 Heavy-duty turning of parts up to 930 mm (36.6 in) in diameter

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What bed lengths does the SL-603 come in?

Four. Type 1000 has 1,150 mm (45.3 in) of Z travel for workpieces up to 1,000 mm (39.4 in) long. Type 2000 has 2,150 mm (84.6 in) for 2,000 mm (78.7 in). Type 3000 has 3,150 mm (124 in) for 3,000 mm (118.1 in). Type 4000 has 4,150 mm (163.4 in) for 4,000 mm (157.5 in). X travel is 485 mm (19.1 in) on all of them.

02 What through-spindle hole sizes are available on the SL-603?

DMG MORI lists three variations in through-spindle hole diameter: B at 7.1 in, C at 10.8 in and D at 14.6 in. The table gives a maximum bar capacity of 375 mm (14.8 in), which can only apply to the largest bore, so confirm the bore letter on the quotation.

03 How does the SL-603 differ from the NLX 6000?

Both have 485 mm (19.1 in) of X travel. The NLX 6000 has 200 mm (7.9 in) of Y travel and 2,150 mm (84.6 in) of Z. The SL-603 table lists no Y travel, but the machine is built in four lengths, up to 4,150 mm (163.4 in) of Z on Type 4000.
