1998 MITSUBISHI MV70E VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 1998 Mitsubishi MV70E is a 3-axis large-format vertical machining center manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, designed for the production of large and heavy prismatic components requiring wide table capacity and high spindle torque. The MV70E features a 65 x 27.5 inch work table and provides X-, Y-, and Z-axis travels of 49.2, 27.6, and 25.6 inches, accommodating large housings, mold bases, dies, and structural components. The CAT-50 taper spindle operates at speeds up to 6,000 RPM driven by a 35 HP motor, delivering high torque for aggressive face milling, profiling, and heavy roughing operations in steel, cast iron, and specialty alloys. The machine is controlled by Mitsubishi's Fanuc-Mitsubishi FM CNC, a co-branded control platform from the mid-to-late 1990s that combines Fanuc motion control technology with Mitsubishi's machine-specific integration. Overall machine dimensions are approximately 169 x 160 x 126 inches. At approximately 50,000 pounds, the MV70E is a very heavy-duty production asset requiring adequate floor loading capacity. As a 1998 vintage machine, buyers should evaluate control health and spindle condition; CAT-50 spindle rebuilds and FM control service are available through specialist providers.
