A total of up to 36 tool positions on two tool carriers, which can work individually or together on the two spindles, provide maximum flexibility. The highly rigid machine construction, the holistic cooling concept, and Magnescale measuring systems in the two X-axes, the Y-axis, and optionally also in the Z-axis ensure precise machining. The positioning accuracy is 6 µm or 12”, allowing small and medium-sized enterprises to meet the demands of demanding industries.

Large working area, versatile spindle range, and powerful turrets

On just 10.8 m², the CTX 450 4A impresses as a versatile turning center that paves the way for the manufacturing of the future. The two spindles and the variety of turrets allow for efficient 6-sided complete machining of workpieces up to ø 430 x 700 mm. The Y-axis travels +/- 50 mm.

Even in standard equipment, the spindles guarantee powerful and capable turning. On the left, an ISM 80 operates at 4,500 min-1 and 280 Nm, on the right, an ISM 65 at 5,500 min-1 and 171 Nm. Optionally, an ISM 102 with 3,500 min-1 and 620 Nm and an ISM 80 with 4,500 min-1 and 280 Nm are available, supporting applications in heavy machining. The bar passage of up to ø 102 mm is the best in its class. Performance and flexibility continue with the turrets. The upper turret accommodates either 12 or 16 VDI-40 tools, while the lower turret holds 12 stations. Both mill or drill at 12,000 min-1 and 38 Nm. Optionally, DMG MORI can equip the CTX 450 4A with VDI-30 turrets – the upper with up to 20 tool stations, the lower with 16 tools.

Manufacturing more productively through automation and digitalization

DMG MORI combines efficient complete machining on the CTX 450 4A with individual automation solutions. A loading device is integrated as standard, which removes workpieces up to ø 100 x 350 mm and 4 kg. Furthermore, workpiece handling can be further expanded with the Robo2Go Turning. Automated manufacturing significantly contributes to optimally utilizing the machine and increasing the overall productivity of production. At the same time, the perfect connectivity of the machine and the app-based control platform CELOS X – optionally on a Siemens SINUMERIK ONE or MAPPS with FANUC – ensure a quick entry into the digitalization of entire manufacturing processes. DMG MORI technology cycles such as the tool balancing assistant and multi-threading pro, for example, reduce the effort in programming.

Sustainability as a competitive advantage

Sustainable manufacturing offers enormous competitive advantages for both ecological and economic reasons. With various measures summarized under GREENMODE, DMG MORI specifically increases the resource efficiency and productivity of its machines. Thanks to innovative hardware components and software, energy consumption can be reduced by more than 30% depending on the machine, for example, with low-friction linear guides, highly efficient coolers, demand-oriented supply of cooling lubricants with 'Adaptive Coolant Flow', or automatic air leakage monitoring 'Air Leakage Monitoring'.
