EMO MILANO 2021 featured about 700 exhibits, representing 34 countries with foreign exhibitors accounting for about 60% of the total attendees.

DMG MORI’s exhibit for the European market focused on automation, equipment-as-as-service, and the premiere of their NZ platform of machines.

The NZ platform includes the DUE, TRE, QUATTRO for production turning with up to 4 turrets and 4 B-axes. Available in two sizes, the short version is designed for workpieces up to 690mm in length, while on the long version extends to 1,290mm. Chuck machining is possible up to a diameter of 120mm, and for bar machining it’s 65mm. The NZ series is extremely compact – including the 3m length bar feeder, the NZ requires only 17.8m² of floor space.

Some highlights of the NZ platform are the individual equipment options, so every user can install a manufacturing solution tailored to their precise requirements. Because of the modular machine, the NZ platform includes the NZ DUE, NZ TRE and NZ QUATTRO, which means that 2-, 3-, or 4-turret machining stations can be placed in the workspace. Each of these units can act autonomously and has a Y-axis with 80mm travel and a B-axis with a swivel range of -10° to +100°.

Promoted as the Netflix of machine building, DMG MORI's PAYZR business model for equipment-as-a-service launched earlier this year with the compact M1 vertical machining center. For a monthly basic fee, customers receive the machine and an all-round carefree package for service and maintenance, for example. In addition, in a pay-per-use model, the fee is calculated based only on the machine’s actual usage – exactly according to spindle minutes. A second machine has now been added to the PAYZR portfolio was the CLX 450 TC introduced this year. With the B-axis factor and equipped with a compactMASTER turn & mill spindle, the turn & mill complete machining center reduces setup and non-productive times in variant-rich production of small to medium batch sizes.
