1999 MORI SEIKI MV45 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 1999 Mori Seiki MV45 is a 3-axis vertical machining center offering an extended work envelope compared to the standard MV40, making it suitable for larger workpieces requiring additional X-axis reach. The MV45 series was produced in both CAT 40 (/40) and CAT 50 (/50) spindle taper configurations; the /40 version features a 10 HP spindle motor at up to 6,000 RPM. The worktable on the /40 configuration measures approximately 43 by 17.7 inches, with axis travels of 31.5 inches in X, 17.7 inches in Y, and 19.7 inches in Z. The Fanuc 6M-B CNC control provides reliable G-code programming and operation. Box-way guideways on all three axes ensure rigidity and vibration damping appropriate for medium-to-heavy cutting in steel, cast iron, and aluminum. The automatic tool changer, typically with 20 positions, supports efficient multi-operation part programs. Machine weight is approximately 17,000 pounds for the standard /40 version. Note: Mori Seiki merged with DMG to form DMG Mori around 2013; machines labeled MORI SEIKI are pre-rebranding era. The MV45 is well-suited for aerospace, die and mold, and general precision machining applications where table length beyond the standard 39.4-inch MV40 is required. Buyers should verify the specific spindle taper configuration—/40 or /50—against the machine's data plate, as specifications and weight differ significantly between variants.
