MORI SEIKI CL-25 CNC LATHES

Technical Description

The Mori Seiki CNC lathe features an MSC 518 control system with robust 2-axis capability for precision turning operations. This machine accommodates a maximum swing of 20.5 inches over the bed, enabling workpiece diameters up to 17.7 inches in turning diameter. The 12-inch chuck provides secure workpiece holding with a bar capacity of 2.6 inches, making it suitable for both bar stock and chucked component production. The spindle delivers a maximum speed of 3,000 RPM, offering adequate cutting velocities across a broad range of materials and applications. The 12-position automatic tool turret facilitates efficient tool changes with rapid indexing, minimizing production downtime and improving overall throughput. The MSC 518 CNC control delivers reliable automation with intuitive programming capabilities and consistent repeatability for complex turning profiles. This machine is optimized for mid-range production runs and short-lead manufacturing tasks. Notable specifications include the 10-inch chuck designation alongside the 12-inch stated chuck size, providing flexibility in workholding options. The absence of a tailstock limits operations to chuck-only workholding, making this configuration ideal for shorter components or applications not requiring end support. Overall dimensions and weight are typical for this machine class, facilitating standard shop floor integration. This lathe represents a dependable platform for small to medium batch turning operations requiring precision, repeatability, and operator-friendly CNC control.
