DMG MORI NTX 2000/1500SZM – 2014
USED DMG MORI NTX 2000/1500SZM – 2014
The DMG MORI NTX 2000/1500SZM – 2014 is a high-performance 5-axis mill-turn machining center designed to combine turning, milling, Y-axis machining, B-axis interpolation, and dual-spindle operations in one machine. This configuration is particularly suited to manufacturers producing complex components that would otherwise require multiple machines and setups. The 2014 model uses a FANUC 31iB5 CNC control and combines a main spindle, sub-spindle, lower live-tool turret, and 12,000 RPM milling spindle.
The machine provides a maximum workpiece swing of approximately 660 mm (25.9″), maximum turning diameter of 610 mm (24″) with the standard tool arrangement, and maximum turning length of 1,540 mm (60.6″). Standard bar capacity is 65 mm (2.5″), while the machine’s B-axis milling head provides simultaneous 5-axis machining capability.
The milling spindle operates at up to 12,000 RPM and uses a Capto C6 taper, while the main and sub-spindles operate at up to 5,000 RPM. The machine has a 10-station lower turret with live tooling and can be equipped with a 38- or 76-tool automatic tool storage system. The 2014 machines currently listed on the used market commonly include a FANUC 31iB5 control, chip conveyor, coolant system, dual 8″ Kitagawa chucks, and live tooling.
With its combination of turning, milling, B-axis, Y-axis, C-axis, and sub-spindle machining, the NTX 2000/1500SZM is well suited for aerospace, medical, automotive, energy, defense, precision engineering, and complex contract manufacturing applications. DMG MORI identifies the NTX family as a platform for demanding complex components requiring high precision and multitasking capability.

INDUSTRIES THAT USE DMG MORI NTX 2000/1500SZM
The NTX 2000/1500SZM is designed for manufacturers that need turning and complex multi-axis milling in the same machining platform. Its dual-spindle architecture and B-axis milling head make it especially useful when a component requires multiple machining operations from different directions.
Common industries include:
- Aerospace
- Medical and surgical components
- Automotive
- Defense
- Oil and gas
- Energy
- Precision contract manufacturing
- General industrial equipment
- Tool and mold manufacturing
For these applications, the ability to perform turning, drilling, milling, contouring, and multi-face machining on one platform can reduce workholding changes and intermediate handling.
TYPICAL PARTS THE DMG MORI NTX 2000/1500SZM CAN PRODUCE
The machine is particularly well suited for complex rotational components that require both turning and multi-axis milling.
Typical parts include:
- Aerospace structural components
- Turbine and engine components
- Medical implants and instruments
- Automotive shafts
- Complex hydraulic components
- Oil and gas components
- Precision housings
- Flanges
- Complex valve bodies
- Couplings
- Multi-face rotational components
- High-precision prototype components
The combination of the 5,000 RPM turning spindles, 12,000 RPM B-axis milling spindle, Y-axis movement, lower live-tool turret, and sub-spindle gives the NTX 2000/1500SZM substantial flexibility for complex parts.
WHY CHOOSE DMG MORI NTX 2000/1500SZM?
The primary advantage of the NTX 2000/1500SZM is its ability to consolidate turning and milling operations. Instead of moving a complex component between a CNC lathe and machining center, manufacturers can complete multiple operations within one machine setup. The B-axis milling head, Y-axis capability, C-axis spindle control, lower live-tool turret, and sub-spindle provide the flexibility required for sophisticated components.
The 2014 version also offers a substantial machining envelope, 1,540 mm turning length, 610 mm standard turning diameter, 65 mm standard bar capacity, and 12,000 RPM milling spindle. For shops producing complex, high-value parts, these capabilities can make the NTX 2000/1500SZM a productive alternative to purchasing separate turning and milling equipment.
WHY BUY USED DMG MORI NTX 2000/1500SZM?
Buying a used DMG MORI NTX 2000/1500SZM can provide access to a sophisticated 5-axis mill-turn platform at a lower acquisition cost than purchasing a new multitasking machine. The 2014 platform still provides substantial turning capacity, dual-spindle machining, B-axis milling, Y-axis movement, and automatic tool changing.
Many used machines include valuable options such as:
- FANUC 31iB5 CNC control
- 12,000 RPM Capto C6 milling spindle
- 38- or 40-position automatic tool changer
- Lower 10-station live-tool turret
- Main and sub-spindles
- 8″ Kitagawa hydraulic chucks
- Chip conveyor
- Coolant system
- Y-axis capability
- Full C-axis spindle rotation
- B-axis milling head
- Tooling and accessories, depending on seller
Before purchasing a used NTX 2000/1500SZM, buyers should inspect spindle condition, B-axis accuracy, turret operation, tool changer operation, hydraulic systems, coolant system, CNC control, axis backlash, spindle hours, cutting hours, and machine history. Individual machines can have substantially different options and operating hours. One currently advertised 2014 example, for instance, reports more than 13,000 hours on one cutting head and 4,600 hours on another, demonstrating why machine-specific inspection is important.
HOW MUCH DOES A USED DMG MORI NTX 2000/1500SZM COST?
Used pricing for a DMG MORI NTX 2000/1500SZM – 2014 varies significantly according to machine condition, spindle hours, options, tool magazine capacity, tooling, coolant equipment, chucks, chip conveyor, and overall maintenance history. Current listings show that many sellers use Request a Quote pricing rather than publishing a fixed asking price.
A current 2014 NTX 2000/1500SZM listing shows an asking price of $149,500, providing a useful reference point for a machine with a documented configuration. Other 2014 machines are offered without a published price, so the actual market value can differ considerably based on configuration and condition.
When evaluating the price of a used NTX 2000/1500SZM, buyers should compare the machine’s spindle and cutting hours, 38- versus 76-tool configuration, milling spindle condition, B-axis accuracy, main and sub-spindle condition, included chucks and tooling, chip conveyor, coolant options, control condition, and service history rather than relying on year alone.
