Our best estimate for the DMG Mori ALX 2000 is $150,000 - $250,000. This is an estimate for a cnc lathes / turning centers in this class, not a quote from DMG Mori; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially.

65 mm (2.6 in). That places it between the ALX 1500 at 52 mm (2 in) and the ALX 2500 at 80 mm (3.1 in). The chuck is an 8-inch chuck and the maximum workpiece diameter is 460 mm (18.1 in), so parts larger than the bar bore are loaded as blanks.
The data table gives a maximum workpiece length of 574 mm (22.6 in) on 575 mm (22.6 in) of Z travel. DMG MORI also lists distance-between-centers types of 300, 500, 1000 and 2000, so longer and shorter beds exist. Ask for the workpiece length and Z travel of the specific type.
DMG MORI counts 13 models. They are combinations of the turning, milling, Y-axis and spindle 2 specifications with the four distance-between-centers types. Y travel of 100 mm (3.9 in) is a feature of the Y-axis specification, and a second spindle only comes with the spindle 2 specification.
Both kinds. The X-axis runs on slideways, which DMG MORI chose for higher damping performance. The Y- and Z-axis use linear motion guides for positioning accuracy. Full closed loop control with scale feedback, called SmartSCALE, can be added as an option.
In capacity, yes. The ALX 1500 has the same 260 mm (10.2 in) X travel and 575 mm (22.6 in) Z travel, but takes 52 mm (2 in) bar and a 440 mm (17.3 in) workpiece diameter. The ALX 2000 takes 65 mm (2.6 in) bar and 460 mm (18.1 in).
