DMG MORI NLX 3000

The NLX 3000 is a DMG MORI CNC lathe for turned-parts machining, offered in four machine lengths (Type 700, 1250, 2000 and 3000) that differ in maximum workpiece length and Z-axis stroke. Its turret uses a built-in motor (BMT) that drives a rotary tool spindle for milling and drilling operations on the same machine. Guideways on the X, Y and Z axes are slideways, and the machine can be fitted with a servo-driven or programmable tailstock depending on type.

Study notes

  • Machine types in the series and their Z-axis stroke: Type 700 = 820 mm, Type 1250 = 1 370 mm, Type 2000 = 2 170 mm, Type 3000 = 3 170 mm.
  • Machine types and maximum workpiece length: Type 700 = 713 mm, Type 1250 = 1 260 mm, Type 2000 = 2 123 mm, Type 3000 = 3 123 mm.
  • Turret uses a BMT (Built-in Motor Turret); rotary tool spindle speed is 10 000 min-1.
  • X-axis stroke is 280 mm and Y-axis stroke is 120 mm across the series.
  • Coolant circulation in the machine body is standard on Type 700 and Type 1250 for thermal displacement control.
  • Digital tailstock driven by a servo motor is used on Type 700 and Type 1250; a programmable tailstock is used on Type 2000 and Type 3000.
  • The document lists MAPPS Mitsubishi under control and software alternatives; no controller id matches it in the reference list.

Safety

  • Rotary tool spindle torque limits: 40 N·m for 3 min and 100 N·m for 4 min (2000 type / 3000 type).
