The price estimate for the DMG Mori CTX 550 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-550#price; the request is passed to DMG Mori or an authorised dealer.
The maximum workpiece length is 1,225 mm (48.2 in), equal to the Z travel. Maximum workpiece diameter is 480 mm (18.9 in). The CTX 450 uses the same X and Y travels with 825 mm (32.5 in) of Z, so the CTX 550 is the choice when parts are too long for it.
An integrated spindle, type ISM102, on an A2-8 nose with a hollow cylinder of Ø 102 mm. DMG MORI gives the drive rating as 36 / 40 kW (100 / 40% duty cycle) and the speed as 3,250 rpm. The spindle motor is water-cooled.
It will make them, but it is not sized for them. The main spindle stops at 3,250 rpm, so small diameters run at low surface speed, and the Ø 102 mm bore and 36 / 40 kW drive are aimed at large stock. The counter spindle is faster at 5,500 rpm, with 13/14 kW.
DMG MORI lists a 6-axis robot interface and a predisposition for Robo2Go, Robo2Go max and Matris. The Highlights also name synchronous (IPM) motors and hydraulic pumps with inverter control as energy-saving features. No integrated unloading device is mentioned for this model.
Direct measuring systems in the X-axis and Y-axis are standard. The C-axis is controlled by a measuring system on the front bearings, and the integrated spindle motors are water-cooled for thermal stability. The Highlights do not mention a direct measuring system for Z, which matters on a 1,225 mm (48.2 in) axis, so ask about it.
