1999 MITSUBISHI MV5CN VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 1999 Mitsubishi MV5CN is a 3-axis vertical machining center from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' MV series, offering a mid-size machining envelope with an elevated spindle speed capability suited to a broad range of precision production applications. The MV5CN features a 39.4 x 19.7 inch work table and provides X-, Y-, and Z-axis travels of 31.5, 20.1, and 18.1 inches, accommodating medium-sized prismatic components including housings, fixtures, and complex contoured workpieces. The BT-40 taper spindle operates at speeds up to 12,000 RPM driven by an approximately 10 HP continuous motor, enabling high surface-speed cutting of aluminum and composites alongside productive steel machining cycles. The machine is equipped with a Fanuc 18i-M CNC control, providing advanced G-code programming, rigid tapping, high-speed machining cycles, and a comprehensive library of canned cycles. MHI's MV series features precision-ground guideways and ballscrews for long-term accuracy. As a 1999 vintage machine, the MV5CN has significant operating history; buyers should evaluate spindle bearing condition and control functionality prior to acquisition.
