DMG MORI UK Technology Day: Innovation, Collaboration, and the NLX 2500 Gen 2

MTDCNC was proud to attend the recent DMG MORI UK Ltd Technology Day, where Tom Skubala (@theukmachinist) and Ian Carver experienced firsthand an event that truly highlighted the future of precision engineering.

Held at DMG MORI UK’s state-of-the-art facility, the event brought together engineers, manufacturers, and technology leaders for a packed day of demonstrations, discussions, and next-generation innovation.

Center stage was the brand-new NLX 2500 Gen 2, and from the moment it powered up, it commanded attention. This latest evolution in the NLX series was built to impress—and it delivered. Attendees were treated to a live showcase of its precision, rigidity, and high-performance turning capabilities. The machine’s versatility and enhanced features make it a standout solution for modern manufacturers looking to stay competitive in today’s demanding market.

A major highlight of the day was the collaborative demonstration between DMG MORI UK and Sandvik Coromant. This powerful partnership brought together cutting-edge machine tool technology with world-class tooling solutions to showcase real-world machining strategies. The result? A seamless and efficient operation that demonstrated just how impactful strategic collaboration can be in pushing the limits of manufacturing performance.

Beyond the machines and technology, the event was a chance to reconnect with industry professionals, share insights, and discuss how digitalization, automation, and smart tooling are shaping the next era of manufacturing. There was a tangible energy throughout the day—one driven by innovation, knowledge-sharing, and a collective passion for engineering excellence.

Sandvik Coromant, known not only for their exceptional tooling solutions but also their investment in education and digital manufacturing, played a key role in reinforcing the message that the future of the industry lies in partnership and forward thinking.

A huge thank you goes to the entire DMG MORI UK Ltd team for putting on such a well-executed and engaging event. The level of preparation, technical depth, and hospitality on display was outstanding.
