1999 MORI SEIKI MV40E VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 1999 Mori Seiki MV40E is a 3-axis vertical machining center representing the updated generation of the MV40 platform, offering expanded axis travels and refined performance compared to the earlier MV40B. The 'E' designation reflects engineering improvements including an enlarged work envelope, with X travel extending to 39.4 inches, Y to 20.5 inches, and Z to 20.1 inches. The worktable measures 39.4 by 18.1 inches and features T-slot clamping. A 15 HP spindle motor drives the CAT 40 taper spindle to a maximum speed of 8,000 RPM, providing solid torque for a broad range of materials including steel, aluminum, cast iron, and non-ferrous alloys. The machine is controlled by a Mori Seiki MSC-500 or MSC-520 control—Fanuc-based OEM builds offering standard G-code compatibility and robust operator interface functionality. Box-way guideways on all three axes deliver the rigidity and damping characteristics that define the MV series, supporting consistent dimensional accuracy across long production runs. The automatic tool changer enables efficient multi-operation cycles. At approximately 13,890 pounds, the MV40E offers structural stability appropriate for demanding cutting applications. Note: Mori Seiki merged with DMG to form DMG Mori around 2013; machines labeled MORI SEIKI are pre-rebranding era. This machine is well-suited for job shops, aerospace subcontractors, and precision manufacturing operations requiring reliable 3-axis VMC capability with generous table capacity.
