Our best estimate for the DMG Mori NZX 1500 is $250,000 - $400,000. This is an estimate for a cnc lathes / turning centers in this class, not a quote from DMG Mori; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/dmg-mori-nzx-1500#price; the request is passed to DMG Mori or an authorised dealer.
Bar capacity is 52 mm (2 in). Workpieces can be up to 300 mm (11.8 in) in diameter and 810 mm (31.9 in) long. The travels behind those limits are 210 mm (8.3 in) in X, 110 mm (4.3 in) in Y and 810 mm (31.9 in) in Z.
DMG MORI states that BMT enables milling at speeds of up to 12,000 rpm, with 6,000 rpm as the standard figure. Confirm which speed is on the machine quoted. Small drills and end mills in aluminium or brass benefit from the higher figure, while 6,000 rpm limits their cutting speed.
Up to 16 tools can be mounted on each turret. DMG MORI's description refers to each turret and to a Turret 2, so the machine has more than one, but no total tool count is given. Count the turrets on the configuration quoted to arrive at the total.
Yes. The table lists 110 mm (4.3 in) of Y travel, and DMG MORI describes the Turret 2 Y-axis as an Octagonal Ram Construction (ORC) built for rigidity. Y rapid traverse is 65.6 fpm. DMG MORI does not state whether another turret also has a Y-axis, so ask if off-centre milling is needed from more than one turret.
Not in travels: the NZX 2000 has the same 210 mm (8.3 in) of X, 110 mm (4.3 in) of Y and 810 mm (31.9 in) of Z. The NZX 1500 is listed for workpieces up to 300 mm (11.8 in) in diameter and bar up to 52 mm (2 in), so those are the two limits to set against the NZX 2000 when choosing.
