The DMG MORI NL / NLX 1500–4000 MC/Y/SMC/SY uses a BMT turret interface. Mongtec Precision, a Taiwanese tooling brand headquartered in Taichung, Taiwan, supplies driven tool holders and static tooling on the open machine-side BMT and VDI (DIN 69880) standards used by this machine class. The exact Mongtec model for your machine configuration is confirmed by Mongtec engineering at RFQ, and every driven unit ships with an individual inspection report.
| Machine brand | DMG MORI |
|---|---|
| Model | NL / NLX 1500–4000 MC/Y/SMC/SY |
| Turret interface | BMT60 (84×94 bolt pattern) on NL builds (NLX builds of the same size can differ; the actual turret drawing is confirmed at RFQ) |
| Driven tool line speed | 6,000–12,000 rpm standard (up to 32,000 rpm with speed increaser) |
| Max torque | Up to 160 Nm (line capability; unit rating confirmed at RFQ) |
| Coolant | Internal / external, up to 100 bar |
| Runout | ≤0.003 mm (0° axial driven line) |
| Quality assurance | Each driven unit ships with an individual inspection report |
DMG MORI turret rule: NL / NLX 1500–3000 use BMT60 on 12-station turrets and BMT40 on 20-station turrets; NLX 4000 and NT 4000–5400 use BMT60; Duraturn, NT/NTX 1000–3200, NRX 2000, NZ and NZX use BMT40. Trifix VDI turrets (VDI25/30/40 Trifix) accept standard VDI holders.

Mongtec also supplies BMT40, BMT60, BMT68 and BMT80 holders and builder-specific interfaces (Mazak, Nakamura-Tome, Haas BOT, Okuma BOT, Muratec BOT) — the 228 article numbers published here are a subset of the range. Mongtec tooling is exported to five continents and supplied to machine-tool builders. Lead time is confirmed per item and quantity at quotation.

Mongtec supplies BMT and VDI (DIN 69880) driven tool holders and static tooling compatible with the DMG MORI turret platform. Interface: BMT60 (84x94 bolt pattern) on NL builds. The exact configuration is confirmed by Mongtec engineering at RFQ.
Yes. BMT and VDI are open machine-side standards, so switching supplier does not require any turret modification. Mongtec also publishes cross-reference pages for WTO, Heimatec, EWS, Eppinger, BIG and other brands.
Lead time is quoted per order and ships from Taichung, Taiwan. Every Mongtec driven tool holder is inspected before shipment (runout, torque, balancing) and ships with an individual inspection report.
BMT is an industry de-facto standard, not an ISO or DIN standard. On the DMG MORI NL series the nominal size is BMT60 and the mounting is an 84×94 mm bolt pattern; the pattern is what actually determines whether a holder bolts on. NLX builds of the same nominal size are not guaranteed to share it. How BMT bolt patterns differ by machine builder →

This machine is built with either turret depending on configuration: 20-station builds use BMT40, 12-station builds use BMT60. The turret decides the holder, not the model name — so the station count is the first thing to confirm. Mongtec supplies both.

Mongtec driven and static tool holders are exported worldwide across five continents, and are supplied to machine tool manufacturers as well as to end users. Lead time is confirmed against the items and quantity you need.
To quote we need: the machine model and turret designation, the station count, a turret interface drawing or a clear photo of the turret face, the holder orientation (axial or radial) and the clamping or collet size you need, and the quantity. A drawing of the holder you are replacing works just as well.

We have not published an interface for this model because the public machine specifications do not state it consistently, and a guessed figure is worse than a blank field. Three steps settle it:
BMT is not published by ISO or DIN, so even the marking in step 2 is a starting point, not proof. The drawing decides.
Machine builders regularly ship the same model with different turrets — station count, model suffix and the number of keys all change the mounting. The Hardinge Conquest H51 is BMT55 in the 12-station build and BMT45 in the 16-station build; the Okuma GENOS L300 M is VDI40, while the L300 MW/MYW uses a 65×73 mm bolt pattern. This is the single most common reason a driven tool holder arrives and will not bolt on. BMT bolt pattern reference — 38 patterns by machine builder →

Whether a holder mounts is decided by the turret bolt pattern and the drive coupling, not by the machine name alone. The types below are published by Mongtec for this interface; the exact article number is confirmed against the actual turret drawing at RFQ.
