Introducing our new DMG MORI NLX 2500|700 CNC Lathe

“It's one of those things with these machines, where you always kind of dream of having them. To go through like a year of spreadsheets and business plans instead of taking the easy route, which was to keep offshoring stuff or deal with local suppliers.”
We managed to get it inside just in time before the rain came down! 🏗🌧 Meet our DMG MORI NLX 2500|700, an automated Y-axis CNC lathe. This will be part of our new CNC manufacturing capability going forward, able to do most of our prototyping work as well as take on local manufacturing jobs.
Thanks to Jim and Gwilym from Edge Engineering for your excellent installation & service!

Nice. They are great lathes. We have 4 now, 3 of which have gantry loaders.

I work on four of these machines now in my new job and I have to say they are great machines, very rigid. But the the only negative is the control, CELOS is not real intuitive IMO for a conversational control. It is great for CAD/CAM integration but the Siemens ShopTurn control option for this machine would be the ultimate package if you wanted a machine mainly for conversational programming.
