The price estimate for the DMG Mori NLX 4000 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-4000#price; the request is passed to DMG Mori or an authorised dealer.
The Type 750 has 875 mm (34.4 in) of Z travel and a maximum workpiece length of 746 mm (29.4 in). The Type 1500 has 1,685 mm (66.3 in) of Z travel and takes 1,584 mm (62.4 in). DMG MORI also lists coolant circulation inside the castings for the 750 type only. X travel, Y travel, workpiece diameter and bar capacity are the same.
The table gives a maximum bar capacity of 117 mm (4.6 in). DMG MORI's highlights give the through-spindle hole diameter as 5.7 in / 7.3 in. The two figures are not the same thing: usable bar size also depends on the chuck and draw tube, so confirm the configuration quoted.
DMG MORI gives the maximum as 73.8 ft lbf, rated for 4 min, and 50.2 ft lbf continuous. The turret is a BMT (Built-in Motor Turret), with the tool drive motor built into the turret. Plan long milling operations on the continuous figure.
Three things are listed. The slideway area is up 50% on the X-axis and 90% on the Z-axis compared with DMG MORI's conventional machine. Large-diameter ball screws are used. DMG MORI also lists the 5.7 in / 7.3 in through-spindle hole under the same heading.
By X travel it is the middle machine: the NLX 3000 has 280 mm (11 in), the NLX 4000 has 365 mm (14.4 in) and the NLX 6000 has 485 mm (19.1 in). The NLX 3000 and NLX 4000 share 120 mm (4.7 in) of Y travel, while the NLX 6000 has 200 mm (7.9 in).
