The price estimate for the DMG Mori CTX 2500 is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/dmg-mori-ctx-2500#price; the request is passed to DMG Mori or an authorised dealer.
Length only, as far as DMG MORI's table shows. Type 700 has 795 mm (31.3 in) of Z travel and a maximum workpiece length of 734 mm (28.9 in). Type 1250 has 1,345 mm (53 in) of Z travel and takes workpieces up to 1,284 mm (50.6 in). X travel of 260 mm (10.2 in), Y travel of 100 mm (3.9 in), the 430 mm (16.9 in) maximum diameter and the 102 mm (4 in) bar capacity are common to both.
The standard main spindle has 4,000 rpm and 387.2 ft lb. The optional spindle has 3,500 rpm and 880.6 ft lb. Choose the option for large diameters and heavy roughing, where torque limits the cut; keep the standard spindle for bar work and smaller parts that benefit from the higher top speed.
The standard turret has 12 stations with VDI interface and a 6,000 rpm drive rated 13.4 hp and 26.6 ft lb. DMG MORI also lists a torqueDRIVE turret with 6,000 rpm, 31.5 hp and a maximum torque of 62.7 ft lb, and an optional speedDRIVE turret with 12,000 rpm, 26.8 hp and a maximum of 41.3 ft lb.
Only with the optional counter spindle, which DMG MORI rates at up to 5,000 rpm, 42.9 hp and 265.6 ft lb. A star turret is listed as an option alongside it for complete machining. Without them the part has to be turned around by hand or in a second operation.
The CTX 450 has 310 mm (12.2 in) of X travel, 130 mm (5.1 in) of Y and 825 mm (32.5 in) of Z, and takes workpieces up to 480 mm (18.9 in) in diameter. The CTX 2500 has 260 mm (10.2 in) of X and 100 mm (3.9 in) of Y, but its Type 1250 reaches 1,345 mm (53 in) of Z, which the CTX 450 does not offer.
