As the latest series in DMG MORI’s production turning portfolio, the NZ platform allows each user to define a manufacturing solution tailored to their exact requirement.

DMG MORI has incorporated decades of experience in production turning as well as the individual requirements of users into the development of the new NZ series. The result is a highly modular platform with two bed sizes that offers customers maximum flexibility and productivity: bar and chuck machining are part of the modular system, as is the option to install two, three or four units with B-axis and a TWIN spindle in the Z-axis. Additionally, DMG MORI offers several automations solutions for the NZ platform.

Available in two bed sizes, the new NZ platform serves a wide range of components. The short version is designed for workpieces up to 740 mm in length, while the long version accommodates components up to 1,290 mm. Chuck machining is possible in both cases up to a diameter of ø 120 mm, and for bar machining the passage is ø 65 mm. Including the 3.30 m long bar feeder, the NZ requires only 17.8 m² of floor space. Stability and precision in machining are ensured by the symmetrical architecture bed with high thermal stability and equal chip removal performance in all positions. On the control side, the NZ platform is equipped with a 19″ DMG MORI SLIMline touch panel and FANUC 30iB.

Maximum modularity with up to four milling units

The highlight of the NZ platform is the individual equipment options, allowing each user to define a manufacturing solution tailored to their exact requirements. Due to the modular machine concept, the NZ platform includes the NZ DUE, NZ TRE and NZ QUATTRO. This means that two, three or four milling units can be installed in the workspace. Each of these units can be freely positioned and has a Y-axis with 80 mm travel and a B-axis with a swivel range of -10° to +100°. There is also the option of a TWIN spindle in the Z axis with a diameter of ø 65 mm. It serves as a hydraulic steady rest and offers a Swisstype function with up to 5,000 min-1 speed in the guide bush. Furthermore, the TWIN spindle can be used for turning at 4,000 min-1 and 60 Nm.
