Launch of NHX 4th Generation
Shorter cycle times with next-level speed & performance!
DMG MORI CO., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as “DMG MORI”) has launched the newest generation of horizontal machining centers: NHX 4000 / 5000 4th Generation (“NHX 4th Generation”). With increased spindle output and feed rates, the NHX 4th Generation delivers shorter cycle times, reduced energy consumption through integrated coolant and inverter control, and minimized maintenance workload thanks to advanced chip management for fast, stable, and cost-efficient high-precision machining.
The NHX Series is trusted for high-efficiency mass production in industries requiring high rigidity and accuracy, including aerospace, EV, semiconductors, construction machinery, and mold manufacturing. The NHX 4th Generation builds on this foundation to deliver even greater productivity and machining efficiency.
Customers can reduce cycle times with the speedMASTER spindle at 400 V with up to 50% more output and rapid traverse speeds of 70 m/min. For stable automation, DMG MORI offers dedicated solutions for chip, coolant, and mist management. The zero-sludgeCOOLANT pro*1 system with its high-capacity vertical coolant tank enables continued unmanned operation while minimizing maintenance work.
In addition, the new ERGOline X control panel combines a wide screen touch panel with hardware buttons into an intuitive interface. The integrated CELOS X software supports the latest applications, driving digital transformation (DX) on the shop floor.
The NHX 4th Generation supports sustainable manufacturing by improving overall production efficiency. Energy consumption of peripherals is reduced through integrated coolant pumps, inverter control, and valve optimization. For example, taking the production of 32 control valves per day, customers can increase machine utilization by approx. 10% and reduce power consumption and CO2 emissions by around 30% (saving about 2,078 kilograms of CO2 annually) only by replacing the NHX 5000 3rd Generation with the new NHX 5000 4th Generation.
With the NHX 4th Generation, customers can realize both stable and sustainable production. Additional models including NHX 5500 / 6300 / 8000 4th Generation are currently in development. For more details, please refer to the videos and catalogs available on our official website. *3

*4 Data is based on comparison between NHX 5000 3rd Generation and NHX 5000 4th Generation.
Results may vary depending on machining conditions and external factors.
*5 Science Based Targets: greenhouse gas emission reduction targets set by companies for the next 5 to 15 years,
consistent with the levels required by the Paris Agreement
(which aims to limit the global temperature increase to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and 1.5°C below pre-industrial levels).
