The price estimate for the DMG Mori NLX 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-nlx-2500#price; the request is passed to DMG Mori or an authorised dealer.
Length. The Type 700 has 795 mm (31.3 in) of Z travel and a maximum workpiece length of 705 mm (27.8 in). The Type 1250 has 1,345 mm (53 in) of Z travel and takes workpieces up to 1,255 mm (49.4 in) long. The 260 mm (10.2 in) X travel, 100 mm (3.9 in) Y travel, 460 mm (18.1 in) maximum workpiece diameter and 90 mm (3.5 in) bar capacity are the same on both.
The maximum workpiece diameter is 460 mm (18.1 in) and the bar capacity is 90 mm (3.5 in). Maximum workpiece length is 705 mm (27.8 in) on the Type 700 and 1,255 mm (49.4 in) on the Type 1250. Anything larger than the bar capacity has to be loaded into the chuck as a cut blank.
Yes. The turret is a BMT (Built-in Motor Turret) with the tool drive motor inside it, and DMG MORI gives the rotary tool spindle speed as 10,000 rpm. Y travel is 100 mm (3.9 in), which allows flats, keyways and off-centre holes on a turned part. DMG MORI's data for this model does not state a driven tool torque, so ask for it if the milling is heavy.
The 260 mm (10.2 in) X travel and the two Z travels, 795 mm (31.3 in) and 1,345 mm (53 in), are the same. The NLX 2500 2nd Generation has 120 mm (4.7 in) of Y travel against 100 mm (3.9 in) here, and a maximum workpiece diameter of 366 mm (14.4 in), where the NLX 2500 described here lists 460 mm (18.1 in). Bar capacity on the NLX 2500 2nd Generation is 105 mm (4.1 in) against 90 mm (3.5 in).
Slideways. DMG MORI states that slideways are used for the X, Y and Z axes and lists this under rigidity. Sliding ways give more damping than rolling linear guides, which helps in heavy roughing and interrupted cuts.
