{"id":"dmg-mori-alx-2500","model_id":"ALX 2500","name":"DMG MORI ALX 2500","summary":"The ALX 2500 is a DMG MORI turning machine with a Y-axis and milling capability, built as a base machine for automation. It accepts workpieces up to 460 mm in diameter and 500 mm long, with a maximum bar capacity of 80 mm. Axis strokes are 260 mm in X, 100 mm in Y and 575 mm in Z, and X/Z rapid traverse is 30 m/min.","study_notes":["ALX series has 11 models covering 10-inch chuck spindles, turning/milling/Y-axis specifications, a second spindle specification, and 500/1000/2000 mm distance between centres.","Rapid traverse rate of 30 m/min (1,181.1 ipm) applies to the X- and Z-axes and is stated as 25% faster than the CL.","Spindle is the in-house DDS (Direct Drive Spindle) turnMASTER, a built-in motor spindle with a 3-year guarantee.","X-axis uses slideways for damping; Y- and Z-axes use linear motion guides for positioning accuracy.","SmartSCALE full closed loop control (scale feedback) is available as an option.","C-axis indexing accuracy for high-accuracy contouring is 5 sec.","Control and software alternatives listed are MAPPS and Mitsubishi; no matching controller entries are available in the reference list.","An automation configuration is referenced as ALX 2500 GX7."],"safety_notes":["The spindle labyrinth structure is enhanced for frequent use of high-pressure coolant, to prevent coolant entry and improve spindle durability."],"sources":[{"url":"https://en.dmgmori.com/products/machines/turning/horizontal-production-turning/alx/alx-2500","title":"ALX 2500 - Horizontal Production Turning Machines and Lathes - DMG MORI","accessed":"2026-10-25"}],"verification":{"status":"source_checked","checked_at":"2026-10-25","values":8,"method":"llm_source_check"},"updated_at":"2026-10-25","type":"hardware","spec":{"category":"cnc_lathe","manufacturer":"dmg-mori","controllers":[],"travel_x_mm":260,"travel_y_mm":100,"travel_z_mm":575,"rapid_traverse_m_min":30,"max_turning_diameter_mm":460,"max_turning_length_mm":500,"bar_capacity_mm":80,"joints":[],"protocols":[],"standards":[],"error_codes":[]},"url":"https://machineschema.com/hardware/dmg-mori-alx-2500","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"}
