2004 MORI SEIKI DURACENTER 5 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2004 Mori Seiki DURACENTER 5 is a 5-axis vertical machining center from Mori Seiki's DURACENTER series, designed for the complex, simultaneous 5-axis machining of aerospace components, turbine blades, impellers, and multi-surface precision parts that require continuous tool orientation changes during cutting. The DURACENTER 5 features a 43.3 x 23.6 inch work table and provides X-, Y-, and Z-axis travels of 31.5, 20.1, and 20.1 inches, with full 5-axis simultaneous contouring via two additional rotational axes. The BT-40 taper spindle operates at speeds up to 12,000 RPM with a 20 HP motor, providing capable performance across aluminum, titanium, and high-temperature alloys common in aerospace and medical device manufacturing. The machine is equipped with the Mori Seiki MSX-501M CNC control, featuring MAPPS (Mori Advanced Programming Production System) for conversational 5-axis programming. Overall machine dimensions are approximately 89 x 104 x 103 inches and machine weight is approximately 13,400 pounds. The DURACENTER 5 is well-regarded for its thermal stability, rigidity, and ability to maintain tight tolerances in demanding 5-axis applications.
