Rising cost pressure, smaller batch sizes, and the need for skilled personnel challenge the manufacturing industry. The trend is moving away from rigid large systems towards flexible universal machines that can be gradually and need-based automated. DMG MORI responds to this market reality: With the clear positioning of BX and MX solutions, companies receive exactly the tool they need. The range of offerings extends from the efficient standalone machine for effective and economical machining to the highly automated premium system for complex processes. Additionally, the concept of 'Used Machines' allows for the trade-in of underutilized existing machines as an attractive financing option for new investments.
Proven technology for economical manufacturing processes
The BX concept is aimed at companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and contract manufacturers, that demand the highest standards in machining quality but initially seek a cost-effective solution without an immediate need for complex full automation. The Best fit Machines combine globally proven, high-precision machine technology with a modular, ready-to-use offering concept. The combination of proven technology, high availability, and long-term investment security is a central feature of the BX portfolio. This is further supported by the new 5-year warranty on selected core components. Depending on the machine type, it covers central components such as turnMASTER spindles, turretMASTER turrets, or the ERGOline X control panel. It creates additional planning security and reduces investment risk, especially for SMEs and contract manufacturers. Highlights of the BX exhibition in Stuttgart include the new DMV 160 in vertical milling, the CLX 450 in turning, and the DMX 80 U for 5-axis machining. Most Best fit Machines are prepared for the control system CELOS X, allowing companies to flexibly expand their initial investment with automation and digital components later on. The machines then grow over time with the demands of the company.
Full innovation power: Technology cycles for job shops
The efficient Best fit Machines at DMG MORI do not compromise on innovation. They provide full access to DMG MORI's exclusive technology cycles. These significantly simplify complex machining and increase value creation. The Gear Package ALL IN 2.0 is an excellent example of this:
With cycles like gearBROACHING, job shops can perform demanding gear cutting on a CLX 450 without having to invest in a separate, expensive gear cutting machine. This underscores DMG MORI's commitment to continuous value enhancement: Even proven machines gain performance capabilities over their lifecycle through software updates and can be operated economically.
BX and MX: Economical and automated
BX and MX are not separate worlds at DMG MORI, but form an integrated, customer-growing system. Instead of replacing machines after a few years, customers can adapt them to their increasing demands through modular expansion stages and complementary digital services: Based on an economical initial investment, a gradual expansion up to an autonomous high-end cell can take place.
Most BX machines are already prepared for the forward-looking control system CELOS X and can be flexibly automated as demand increases. They thus form a fully-fledged and scalable component of the Machining Transformation (MX) and keep companies up to date with the latest manufacturing technology. While the BX series focuses on economical manufacturing, MX solutions address highly automated production environments with maximum process integration, digital networking, and autonomous manufacturing.
At the same time, BX machines ideally complement existing high-end manufacturing: In already highly automated MX environments, BX machines serve as efficient, robust capacity extensions for machining simpler workpieces. This allows the complex MX machining centers to be specifically reserved for demanding, automated processes.
"The BX machines are our response to the increasing demand for powerful and scalable manufacturing solutions, whose application possibilities grow with the company," explains Dr. Harald Neun, Executive Officer at DMG MORI. "With our Best fit Machines, we offer an economical entry into the DMG MORI world. Through seamless integration with our MX solutions and CELOS X, we give our customers the assurance that their investment is future-proof and can grow with their requirements."
