1995 MITSUBISHI MV4B VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 1995 Mitsubishi MV4B is a 3-axis vertical machining center from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' MV series, representing an earlier generation of MHI's precision VMC product line. The MV4B features a 36 x 16 inch cast-iron work table and delivers X-, Y-, and Z-axis travels of 22, 16, and 18 inches, providing a compact machining envelope well-suited to small-to-medium prismatic components. The BT-40 taper spindle operates at speeds up to 8,000 RPM, delivering capable performance for milling, drilling, and tapping in steel, aluminum, and cast iron. The machine is equipped with the Fanuc 18M CNC control, a widely known and well-supported control platform offering comprehensive G-code programming, rigid tapping, and a broad library of canned cycles. Mitsubishi's MV series machines are recognized for their robust construction and manufacturing precision, with hardened and ground guideways providing long-term accuracy. As a 1995 vintage machine, the MV4B has significant operating history and prospective buyers should assess spindle bearing condition, control functionality, and axis drive performance. Fanuc 18M support remains widely available, making control maintenance and repair accessible.
