The DMG Mori NTX-1000 is an integrated mill-turn center with a reputation for done-in-one accuracy that has made it a staple in aerospace, medical, and precision job-shop work. This 2023 unit pairs a 73 mm big-bore main spindle and a synchronized counter spindle with a true B-axis compactMASTER milling spindle turning up to 20,000 rpm, so a single machine can turn, mill, drill, and tap complex parts complete from bar or chuck. It adds Y-axis off-center machining, a 76-tool Capto C6 magazine, and the Fanuc 31i-B control with the CELOS operating system and 21.5 in ERGOline touchscreen for job, process, and tool management on the floor. With a 430 mm (16.9 in) max turning diameter, 800 mm (31.5 in) turning length, super-high-pressure through-spindle coolant (6-step, up to 1,015 psi) with chiller, a hinge-type chip conveyor, mist collector, and Kitagawa 6 in hydraulic hollow chucks on both spindles, it is a complete, current-generation turn-mill cell.
Compared with the original first-generation NTX-1000, this second-generation machine is a meaningful step up rather than just a newer build: DMG Mori re-engineered it with higher structural rigidity, improved thermal stability, and the compactMASTER milling spindle for stronger, faster five-axis cutting, plus the modern CELOS control in place of the earlier interface. Where an older single-spindle lathe or a first-gen NTX needs more setups and operator handling to finish multi-sided parts, this NTX-1000 completes them in one clamping with counter-spindle transfer and full B-axis milling. For a buyer, that means stepping into a near-new, top-tier done-in-one platform - big-bore main spindle, counter spindle, B-axis mill, Y-axis, and 76-tool magazine already in place - instead of an older, less capable turning center.
