It is widely used in aerospace, medical, automotive, hydraulic, electronics, and precision engineering industries.
The machine offers a maximum turning diameter of approximately 15.2 inches (386 mm) and a maximum machining length of 20.3 inches (515 mm). With X-axis travel of 10.2 inches (260 mm), Y-axis travel of ±2 inches (±50 mm), and Z-axis travel of 23.2 inches (590 mm), the machine is capable of producing complex turned and milled components with exceptional precision. Its highly rigid box guideway construction minimizes vibration during heavy cutting operations while providing excellent surface finishes and long tool life. Whether machining stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, alloy steel, or engineering plastics, the 2015 DMG MORI NLX-1500SY/500 delivers consistent accuracy and repeatability.
The machine is equipped with a 6,000 RPM main spindle, 6,000 RPM sub-spindle, and a BMT live tooling turret capable of 10,000 RPM rotary tool speeds. Automatic workpiece transfer between the main and sub-spindle enables complete front and back machining without operator intervention, dramatically reducing cycle times and improving part accuracy. Many used machines include valuable factory-installed options such as bar feeders, high-pressure coolant, parts catchers, tool setters, chip conveyors, tailstocks, and automation interfaces for unattended production.
The MAPPS IV / CELOS Control combines conversational programming with full ISO G-code compatibility, USB and Ethernet connectivity, integrated tool management, and advanced machining cycles. Its intuitive interface and high-speed processing make the NLX-1500SY/500 one of the most productive and operator-friendly turn-mill centers in its class.
