The price estimate for the DMG Mori NLX 1500 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-nlx-1500#price; the request is passed to DMG Mori or an authorised dealer.
Mainly bar capacity. The NLX 1500 takes 52 mm (2 in) bar and the NLX 2000 takes 65 mm (2.6 in). Both have 260 mm (10.2 in) of X, 100 mm (3.9 in) of Y and 590 mm (23.2 in) of Z travel. The NLX 1500 lists the slightly larger envelope, 386 mm (15.2 in) by 515 mm (20.3 in), against 366 mm (14.4 in) by 510 mm (20.1 in) on the NLX 2000.
The maximum rotary tool spindle torque is 21.4 ft lbf, given as a 3 min rating, at a rotary tool spindle speed of 10,000 rpm. Because the torque figure is time-limited, treat it as the ceiling for short cuts such as drilling and tapping. DMG MORI gives no continuous value.
Workpieces up to 386 mm (15.2 in) in diameter and 515 mm (20.3 in) long, and bar up to 52 mm (2 in). Anything above the bar size has to be loaded into the chuck as a blank. Z travel is 590 mm (23.2 in) and X travel 260 mm (10.2 in).
Slideways on the X-, Z- and Y-axis. DMG MORI lists them for higher vibration damping performance and dynamic rigidity, which pays off in interrupted cuts and when the driven tools are milling.
Coolant circulation in the machine body is standard, as part of the thermal displacement control. The BMT turret with its 10,000 rpm rotary tool spindle is part of the machine as described. The high-precision quick-change turret is listed as an option.
