DMG Mori CNC Machinery Auctions

DMG Mori stands as one of the world's largest CNC machine tool builders, with operations spanning 21 production sites and 161 service locations across 43 countries.

The company emerged from a unique merger between German engineering excellence (Gildemeister, founded 1870) and Japanese precision manufacturing (Mori Seiki, founded 1948), combining 150 years and 75 years of respective heritage. This dual lineage creates machines renowned for exceptional build quality, thermal stability and process reliability across industries from aerospace to medical technology.

Purchasing DMG Mori machinery at auction provides access to this premium engineering at substantial savings compared to new equipment prices. Contact us if you are interested in acquiring one of these tools with us.

What is a DMG Mori machine?

DMG Mori represents the convergence of two pioneering machine tool manufacturers into what the company terms a "Global One Company". The merger began in 2009, with full business integration completed by 2016. Today, the unified organisation operates 21 production sites globally and maintains 161 sales and service locations across 43 countries.

The company builds between 8,000 and 10,000 machines annually and has installed over 100,000 machines internationally. This substantial scale creates significant advantages for equipment purchasers, particularly those acquiring used CNC machinery. The extensive service network ensures parts availability and technical support for equipment spanning decades of production.

A defining innovation emerged in 2013 when DMG Mori introduced CELOS, the world's first app-based machine control system. The latest evolution, CELOS X (launched 2024), provides unified digital control across all DMG Mori equipment regardless of whether machines use Siemens, Heidenhain or MAPPS control platforms.

Types of DMG Mori machines

CNC lathes

CNC lathes form the foundation of the portfolio, spanning universal turning machines (CLX, CTX and NLX series), production lathes (SPRINT, NZ platform) and the WASINO series acquired in 2015. Modern DMG Mori lathes incorporate Y-axis capabilities, sub-spindles and live tooling that enable in-cycle milling operations.

Turn-mill centres

Turn-mill centres enable 6-sided complete machining within a single clamping operation. The CLX TC, CTX TC and NTX series eliminate manual re-fixturing between operations, maintaining consistent datum references and dramatically reducing cycle times. This process integration allows one turn-mill centre to replace two or three separate machines.

Vertical machining centres

Vertical machining centres range from entry-level models to high-performance systems, including the DMU series, CMX series and DMP series.

Horizontal machining centres

Horizontal machining centres excel in cost-effective series production, particularly when integrated with pallet systems.

5-axis machining centres

5-axis machining centres deliver simultaneous 5-axis milling capabilities essential for complex aerospace and medical components.
