4th generation horizontal machining centers bring advances in speed and precision

The newest generation of horizontal machining centers, NHX 4000 / 5000 4th Generation, offers increased spindle output and feed rates, 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.

Customers can reduce cycle times with the speedMASTER spindle at 400V with up to 50% more output and rapid traverse speeds of 70m/min. For stable automation, DMG MORI offers dedicated solutions for chip, coolant, and mist management. The optional zero-sludgeCOOLANT pro system with its high-capacity vertical coolant tank enables continued unmanned operation while minimizing maintenance work.

The 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.
