1996 MORI SEIKI M25 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 1996 Mori Seiki M25 is a 3-axis vertical machining center from Mori Seiki's Frontier M series, designed as a compact precision production platform with pallet-change capability for improved spindle utilization in small-to-medium component manufacturing. The M25 (Frontier M-25 FV) features dual pallets of approximately 23 x 18 inches and delivers X-, Y-, and Z-axis travels of 23.78, 16.54, and 12.99 inches, suited to precision machining of small brackets, covers, valve bodies, and compact prismatic workpieces. The BT-40 taper spindle operates at speeds up to 8,000 RPM with a 7.5 HP motor, providing capable performance in steel, aluminum, and cast iron. The machine is equipped with the Fanuc 18M CNC control, providing G-code programming, rigid tapping, and canned cycles. As a 1996 vintage machine, the M25 has significant operating history and buyers should evaluate spindle condition, pallet changer mechanical health, and control functionality prior to acquisition. The pallet-change configuration provides a significant productivity advantage in high-volume production environments.
