The price estimate for the DMG Mori NLX 2500 2nd Generation 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-2500-2nd#price; the request is passed to DMG Mori or an authorised dealer.
The left spindle is 10 in with 5,000 rpm and 843 Nm, or optionally 12 in with 3,000 rpm and 1,273 Nm. The right spindle is itself an option, from 6 in with 7,000 rpm and 95 Nm up to 10 in with 5,000 rpm and a maximum of 577 Nm. DMG MORI gives its MASTER spindles a 36-month warranty with unlimited spindle hours.
High-Speed runs driven tools up to 12,000 rpm with 86 Nm. High-Torque runs up to 6,000 rpm with 100 Nm. Choose High-Speed for small end mills and drills that need rpm, and High-Torque for larger drills, taps and cutters. The BMT turret has up to 20 tool stations; the VDI version has 12 stations.
No. DMG MORI lists the right spindle as optional. The versions run from 6 in with 7,000 rpm and 95 Nm up to 10 in with 5,000 rpm and a maximum of 577 Nm. A machine ordered without it cannot machine the back of the part in the same cycle.
Two. The Type 700 has 795 mm (31.3 in) of Z travel and a maximum workpiece length of 708 mm (27.9 in). The Type 1250 has 1,345 mm (53 in) of Z travel and takes workpieces up to 1,258 mm (49.5 in). X travel is 260 mm (10.2 in) and Y travel 120 mm (4.7 in) on both.
Under GREENMODE, DMG MORI quotes 16% less energy, 44% less lubrication oil and 12% less compressed air consumption, and notes that the energy value is for the NLX 2500 | 700. A machine with 400 V is listed with up to 6% reduced energy consumption. The coolant tank holds 900 l and has an integrated sludge and oil collection system intended to extend coolant life.
In the travels, only Y changes: the NLX 2500 2nd Generation has 120 mm (4.7 in) against 100 mm (3.9 in) on the NLX 2500, with the same 260 mm (10.2 in) of X and the same 795 mm (31.3 in) and 1,345 mm (53 in) Z travels.
