Robust Construction Supporting Heavy-duty

Cutting
The NLX 6000 is capable of high-efficiency, high-precision machining of ultra-heavy workpieces with a turning
diameter of up to 920 mm (36.2 in.) and a turning length of up to 2,000 mm (78.7 in.) <distance between centers
2000 type>. We carry out simulations for torsional rigidity using the FEM analysis to produce a high-rigidity body
with DMG MORI technologies applied to every detail. The model employs slideways on the X-, Y- and Z-axis for
higher vibration damping performance and dynamic rigidity, which realizes outstanding cutting capabilities.
In addition, each unit mechanism is designed in such a way that thermal displacement is minimized, which
leads to 47% less thermal displacement than the conventional machine.

Thoroughly Controlled Thermal Displacement

There are varieties of factors leading to thermal displacement
that has a major influence on machining accuracy, including
heat generation during machine operation, changes in room
temperature and increase in coolant temperature.
DMG MORI tackles each of the factors by taking its original
measures from every angle.

+ Heat generation suppressed by circulating cooling oil
inside the headstock casting

4 Z-axis ball nut cooling

+ Cooling oil circulated around the Z-axis ball nut
 Coolant chiller <separate type> (option)

Increased coolant temperature causes

thermal displacement in the fixtures and
workpiece, affecting the machining accuracy
of the workpiece. Use this unit to prevent
the cutting coolant from heating up.
When using oil-based coolant, the coolant
temperature can become extremely high
even with the standard coolant pump,
so please be sure to select this unit.

When using oil-based coolant or a

super-high-pressure coolant system,
please be sure to consult our sales
representative.

● We cannot guarantee that this unit will completely control the coolant temperature.
It is designed to help prevent oil temperature increases.
