1994 MORI SEIKI MV40M VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 1994 Mori Seiki MV40M is a 3-axis vertical machining center that shares the compact MV40B platform geometry with an updated Fanuc MF-M7 control featuring Custom Macro B capability. The 'M' suffix indicates a mid-range configuration within the MV40 family, with axis travels of 31.5 inches in X, 16.1 inches in Y, and 20.1 inches in Z. The worktable measures 35.4 by 17.7 inches and accommodates standard T-slot workholding fixtures. A 10 HP spindle motor drives the CAT 40 taper spindle to a maximum speed of 8,000 RPM, providing adequate power for general-purpose machining of steel, aluminum, and cast iron. The Fanuc MF-M7 control with Custom Macro B offers advanced parametric programming capability, enabling complex repetitive routines and probing cycle integration. Box-way construction on all three linear axes provides strong rigidity and vibration damping, characteristic of the MV series design philosophy. The automatic tool changer supports multi-operation machining without manual tool changes. At approximately 13,890 pounds, the MV40M delivers the structural mass typical of this generation of Mori Seiki VMCs. Note: Mori Seiki merged with DMG to form DMG Mori around 2013; machines labeled MORI SEIKI are pre-rebranding era. This machine is suited to job shops and precision toolrooms where Custom Macro B programming and reliable Fanuc-based control are priorities.
