Our best estimate for the DMG Mori ALX 2500 is $180,000 - $280,000. 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.

80 mm (3.1 in). That is more than either neighbouring size: the ALX 2000 takes 65 mm (2.6 in) and the ALX 1500 takes 52 mm (2 in). The chuck is a 10-inch chuck and the maximum workpiece diameter is 460 mm (18.1 in).
DMG MORI states a C-axis indexing accuracy of 5 sec. for the turnMASTER spindle and describes it as high-accuracy contouring. It is the figure to look at on the milling and Y-axis specifications, where the spindle has to position the part for driven tools.
DMG MORI lists distance-between-centers types of 500, 1000 and 2000 and 11 models in total across the turning, milling, Y-axis and spindle 2 specifications. The data table shows a maximum workpiece length of 500 mm (19.7 in) and 575 mm (22.6 in) of Z travel, so check both figures for the longer types.
No. Both list 260 mm (10.2 in) in X, 100 mm (3.9 in) in Y and 575 mm (22.6 in) in Z, and both take a 460 mm (18.1 in) workpiece diameter. The ALX 2500 adds bar capacity, 80 mm (3.1 in) against 65 mm (2.6 in), while the ALX 2000 lists the longer workpiece at 574 mm (22.6 in).
No. Full closed loop control with scale feedback is offered as the SmartSCALE option for enhanced positioning accuracy. The standard machine uses slideways on the X-axis and linear motion guides on the Y- and Z-axis.
