The NLX 2500|700 2. Generation offers enhanced and fine-tuned box guideways, stable roller guides with a width of 55mm, and double anchored ball screws for high rigidity in the machine’s guide and drive geometry. The temperature stabilization and compensation minimize thermal displacements coming from machine operation and environment through internally cooled ball screws, machine bed, and spindle temperature control.
The turret is available as a BMT60, BMT40, or VDI40 with 10 to 20 tool positions. The driven tools reach speeds up to 12,000rpm or torques up to 100Nm depending on the machining needs. The left 10" turnMASTER spindle of the NLX 2500|700 2. Generation offers torque up to 828Nm and optionally up to 1,273Nm with the 12" version. The right spindle is available in 6", 8", and 10" design with a torque up to 577Nm.
With a maximum turning diameter of 366mm and a turning length up to 705mm, the NLX 2500|700 2. Generation’s maximum bar capacity for operation with bar feeders is increased to 105mm on both spindles; travel distances are 260mm in the X-axis and 795mm in the Z-axis. A travel of 120mm (±60mm) in the Y-axis allows off-center milling, drilling, and further operation with driven tools for more flexibility.
The stealth design makes the NLX 2500|700 2. Generation more durable and easier to maintain, while the user-friendly ERGOline operating panel is available with MAPPSX (FANUC 31iB Plus) or SIEMENS SINUMERIK ONE.
The range of flexible automation solutions for the NLX 2500|700 2. Generation includes the classic gantry loader and various robot-based products, including the Robo2Go and the IMTR or the MATRIS light and the WH-AMR 10 as autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for handling workpieces. Integrated solutions for automatic unloading of workpieces are also available to match working with bar feeders. These automation solutions are operated directly via the SIEMENS or MAPPS control system.
Compared to the first NLX generation, the NLX 2500|700 2. Generation is more economical and efficient. Power consumption has been reduced by 16%, and air and oil reductions by 12% and 50%, respectively. With extensive coolant and chip management in place, the coolant in use gains longevity, reducing total consumption and supporting Green Transformation (GX) in the long term.
