Press Release
Launch of the NTX 3rd Generation
Realize MX with next-level precision & productivity!
DMG MORI CO., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as “DMG MORI”) has launched the newest generation of mill-turn machining centers: NTX 1000 / 2000 / 2500 / 3000 3rd Generation (“NTX 3rd Generation”).
With improved design and the newest technology, we proudly present the perfect machine series for accelerating customers' MX (Machining Transformation) with new levels of precision and productivity by offering a range of beloved options now as standard*1.
The NTX series of mill-turn machines combines high machining capacity with the ability to integrate processes from separate turning/machining centers to efficiently machine a wide range of workpieces and lot sizes. Since its launch in 2010, our NTX machines have enjoyed popularity in various industries, such as aerospace, medical, energy, EV, mold, semiconductor, and precision machinery. Recently, more and more customers have been realizing the benefits of process integration with mill-turn machines to solve labor shortages and produce highly precise and complex workpieces in a sustainable manner. DMG MORI developed the NTX 3rd Generation as a next-level machine capable of meeting the needs of customers and greatly accelerating their MX.
In addition, the new generation comes with various spindle types as standard: the high-rigidity, 400V-powered turnMASTER spindle, the compactMASTER turn-mill spindle, and the turretMASTER*2 spindle with high milling capability. All spindles benefit from full closed-loop control (scale feedback) on all axes and thorough thermal deformation suppression by cooling water circulation in the machine body to drastically improve cutting ability and accuracy. In addition, the "ERGOline X with CELOS X" user interface combines touch-panel and keyboard inputs to allow for easy and intuitive operation, while the “Setup Assistant” guides your inputs and reduces setup time. Furthermore, gear cutting, grinding, and other machining processes that used to rely on special machines, as well as measurement processes on CMM-level, can now be integrated into a single NTX 3rd Generation machine thanks to DMG MORI Technology Cycles.
On the automation side, we offer MATRIS, gantry loaders, bar feeders, and more. Also, we address machining troubles due to chips, coolant, and mist that pose a hurdle to long periods of continued operation: Highly durable stainless-steel covers prevent chips from accumulating inside the machine; the vertical high-capacity coolant tank zero-sludgeCOOLANT pro efficiently collects both sludge and mixed oil; and zeroFOG absorbs machining mist. The NTX 3rd Generation comes with these solutions as standard and enables reliable, continuous operation of machines and automation systems over long periods of time, thus further boosting customers’ productivity.
In addition, thorough management of coolant and cutting chips helps extend coolant life to reduce CO2 emissions from the incineration of coolant waste. With our in-house-developed, high-efficiency transformer as well as GREENmode and the integration of coolant pumps, we allow customers to further save power and reduce their annual energy consumption by 12%.
As a result, DMG MORI's latest series of mill-turn machines, the NTX 3rd Generation, integrates processes from milling and turning to gearing, grinding, and measuring, to realize long hours of continuous operation in the most sustainable and profitable manner.
