New HMCs Designed for High Dynamics and Precision



NHX 4000 2nd Generation

NHX 5000 2nd Generation

The new horizontal machining centers (HMCs) NHX 4000 2nd Generation and NHX 5000 2nd Generation are equipped with a 15,000 RPM standard spindle and CELOS with MAPPS V on Mitsubishi. "These machines are designed to fulfill all demands for single part manufacturing up to serial production," said a company spokesperson.

"With the new NHX 5000 2nd Generation, DMG MORI offers a HMC that is as compact as it is dynamic," said the spokesperson. "The HMCs are ideally suited for the production of complex and demanding components and up to highly efficient serial production. These machine can be utilized in the automotive industry or machine engineering, for example. Together with its new smaller sister machine, the NHX 4000 2nd Generation, the new NHX series now boasts a Direct Drive Table (DDM technology) with speeds of up to 100 RPM and direct measurement systems from MAGNESCALE in all axes in its standard versions. The construction of the machines has also been optimized with regard to the use of shorter tools. The distance from the spindle nose to the pallet center has been minimized to 70 mm / 2.8 in., ensuring longer tool service life and higher process stability. The new NHX machines also offer all the advantages of the new joint DMG MORI design and CELOS.

"The NHX 4000 2nd Generation and NHX 5000 2nd Generation continue in the footsteps of the NHX 4000, whose success on the market is based on a combination of functionality, productivity and precision. The NHX machine concept is based on the NH series with more than 6,000 machines installed worldwide."

According to the company, the range of workpieces that can be handled by the NHX 4000 2nd Generation includes parts with diameters of up to 630 mm / 24.8" and heights of 900 mm / 35.4". The HMC is designed to machine components with a high degree of accuracy and efficiency in its 560 x 560 x 660 mm / 22.0 x 22.0 x 26.0" (X / Y / Z) work area. The 730 x 730 x 880 mm / 28.7 x 28.7 x 34.6" (X / Y / Z) work area of the larger 500-pallet machine has space for workpieces with heights of up to 1,000 mm / 39.4" and widths of 800 mm / 31.5".

"The high precision demanded of the HMCs goes hand in hand with impressive ratings for speed and dynamics," said the spokesperson. "The linear axes, for example, travel at a speed of 96 m/min / 3,779.5 IPM (60 m/min / 2,362.2 IPM in the standard version) with acceleration rates of up to 1.2 g. Chip-to-chip times are only 2.2 seconds. The Direct Drive Table (DDM) with a speed of up to 100 RPM ensures the shortest possible positioning times."

Spindle speeds of 15,000 RPM with a torque of 111 Nm / 81.9 ft-lbs are available in the standard version. The optional high-torque version has a torque of up to 200 Nm / 147.5 ft./lbs. at 15,000 RPM. The modular building blocks of the new NHX models also include a high-speed version that is designed to achieve a speed of up to 20,000 RPM.

"In addition, the new DMG MORI design and CELOS with MAPPS guarantee maximum user-friendliness," said the spokesperson. "CELOS from DMG MORI simplifies and accelerates the process from the idea to the finished product, while CELOS APPs enable consistent management, documentation and visualization of job, process and machine data. CELOS also links the shopfloor with higher level company structures, thus creating the basis for a consistent, digitized and paperless production." According to the company, CELOS is compatible with MRP and ERP systems, can be networked with CAD / CAM applications and is ready for future CELOS APP expansions.

"DMG MORI offers customers the chance of adapting the NHX 4000 2nd Generation and NHX 5000 2nd Generation machines to meet specific needs," said the spokesperson. "These options also include diverse automation solutions. For example, the HMCs can be equipped with a round pallet magazine (RPP) that excels with low space requirements and outstanding set-up features. The DMG MORI systems also offer the option of integrating a carrier pallet magazine (CPP) or a linear pallet magazine (LPP)."

The following are highlights of NHX 4000 2nd Generation and NHX 5000 2nd Generation, according to the company:

  • High machine dynamics for short chip-to-chip times of up to 2.2 seconds:
    • 1.2 / 1.2 / 1.2 g (NHX 4000 2nd Generation) or 1.1 / 1.2 / 1.0 g (NHX 5000)
    • up to 96 m/min rapid traverse / 3,779.5 IPM (60 m/min / 2,362.2 IPM standard)
    • 35% higher dynamic stability
  • Direct Drive Table (DDM) with up to 100 RPM for short positioning times of 0.8 seconds for the NHX 4000 2nd Generation or 1.4 seconds for the NHX 5000 2nd Generation
  • Optimum chip flow due to steep covers in the work area and a sturdy Y-axis cover in "pantograph" design.
