Technical Description

The 1984 Mori Seiki MV JR is a 3-axis vertical machining center from Mori Seiki's MV Junior series, representing an early production CNC vertical machining center from one of Japan's most respected machine tool manufacturers. The MV JR was Mori Seiki's entry-level VMC offering, designed to bring CNC vertical machining capability to a broader range of shops during the early adoption era of CNC machine tools. The machine features a 35.43 x 17.71 inch cast-iron work table and provides X-, Y-, and Z-axis travels of 22, 16, and 18 inches, accommodating a range of small-to-medium prismatic components. The BT-40 taper spindle operates at speeds up to 6,000 RPM with a 7.5 HP motor, suitable for milling, drilling, and tapping in steel, aluminum, and cast iron. The machine is equipped with the Fanuc 10M CNC control, an early Fanuc platform providing G-code programming and basic canned cycle capability. Overall machine dimensions are approximately 88 x 85 x 106 inches and machine weight is approximately 8,200 pounds. As a 1984 vintage machine with over 40 years of service life potential, prospective buyers should carefully evaluate spindle bearing condition, guideway wear, axis drive performance, and control functionality before acquisition.
