Universal turning

These lathes are true all-rounders and the backbone of many production operations: CNC-controlled universal turning machines by DMG MORI. The highest-possible cutting performance is ensured by spindle drives of up to 12,080 Nm. A large turning diameter of up to 930 mm, optimum chip fall, and measuring systems by MAGNESCALE for extremely precise results also ensure that these turning machines stand out from the crowd: 

• Counter-spindle for six-side full processing
• Y-axis for eccentric milling processing of complex workpieces
• Big-bore spindles with an outlet of up to 375 millimetres in diameter
• Processing of workpieces up to 930 mm in diameter and a turning length of up to 6,000 mm
• Flat track for optimum attenuation properties and dynamic rigidity
• MASTERspindles with a 36-month guarantee and no usage hours limit

DMG MORI makes turning machines in the following series:

• NEF
• CLX
• CTX
• NLX
• SL

Turn & Mill machines

Our Turn & Mill turning machines in the CTX TC, NT and NTX series allow turning and milling capabilities in one machine. Equipped with the counter-spindles that are available, these turning/milling centre workpieces can be fully processed from all six sides. The built-in B-axis is fitted with a direct drive. This means the lathes in the CTX TC, NT and NTX series also facilitate the five-axis CNC milling of complex workpieces along with free-form surfaces.

The advantages of our Turn & Mill centres:

• One machine for lots of work steps with our high-performing Turn & Mill machines in the CTX TC, NT and NTX series.
• B-axis with the compactMASTER Turn & Mill spindle for five-axis simultaneous processing at up to 220 Nm
• Turning spindles in the turnMASTER series with up to 1,194 Nm torque
• 36-month warranty on all MASTER spindles with no usage hours limit
• Counter-spindle for six-side full processing
• Additional lower revolver as a second tool carrier for productive four-axis processing

Three series for Turn & Mill processing:

• CTX TC
• NT
• NTX

​​​​​​​Horizontal production turning with revolvers

Our revolver production turning machines have up to three revolvers with three Y-axes and a built-in B-axis. Thanks to up to three tool carriers, our horizontal lathes are perfect for the series production of both bars and feed components. In addition, the versions are available with three revolvers without a B-axis and with two revolvers. It should also be noted that the two-revolver version also uses the TWIN concept that is available for our production turning machines.

This unique workspace concept with two revolvers and the cross stroke of the counter-spindle and tailstock combination makes possible processing in two independent workspaces in parallel. On the one hand, you can process long workpieces, such as shafts, on our turning machines with the support of the tailstock on a four-axis basis. On the other hand, this enables the collision-free front machining of long parts on the main spindle and counter-spindle.

The turning machines in the NZX-S series and the CTX beta 1250 CS are designed for manufacturing crankshafts or camshafts.

Our production turning machines with revolver:

• NZX-S
• CTX CS
• SPRINT revolver
• NZX
• CTX 4A

Automatic turning

Our automatic turning machines in the SPRINT series (SPRINT 20 and SPRINT 32) allow you to process workpieces with a diameter of up to 20 and 32 mm, respectively, and a length of up to 600 mm. They have five or six linear axes, as well as up to two C-axes. Up to 28 tool positions on three independent linear carriers are available for processing complex workpieces. These can be used to drive up to ten tools. The highlight is the SWISSTYPEkit, which allows both short and long turning to be carried out on the same machine. The machine can be converted in less than 30 minutes with this.

Multi-spindle automatic turning

Our CNC-driven multi-spindle automatic turning machines in the MULTISPRINT series are totally unique. With these machines, DMG MORI combines SWISSTYPE technology with the productivity of a multi-spindle turning machine. In connection with a Y-axis in every spindle position as standard, highly complex workpieces can be fully processed using standard tools with these turning machines:

• Use of driven tools in all spindle positions
• Y-axis in all spindle positions as standard
• SWISSTYPEkit for short and long turning at a length of up to 180 mm
• Chuck machining and bar machining
• Bar diameter of up to 36 mm, chuck components with a diameter of up to 50 mm
• Spindle speed of up to 7,500 rpm
• Double rear and eccentric processing
• State-of-the-art control technology: FANUC series 30i
• Compact installation surface (21.9 m²), incl. bar loader and filtering unit

In addition, the cam-controlled multi-spindle turning machines in the GM series are also available for our customers. These six-spindle turning machines enable you to achieve cycle times even as low as under one second. Depending on the version, this can be used with workpieces with a diameter of up to 25 mm. 

Overview of our automatic turning machines and multi-spindle turning machines:

• SPRINT
• GM
• MULTISPRINT

Complex workpieces that are difficult to process are also not a problem with our high-quality linear tool carriers. Our horizontal turning machines offer the highest precision. They are also equipped with energy-efficient components to reduce electricity consumption. With the space-saving two-spindle, two-revolver turning machine in the WASINO series, for example, you can process the front and back surfaces of workpieces.
