1998 MORI SEIKI MV50 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 1998 Mori Seiki MV50 is a 3-axis vertical machining center offering a larger work envelope than the standard MV40, extending X-axis travel to approximately 40.2 inches for machining of elongated or larger footprint workpieces. The MV50 series features a CAT 40 spindle taper driven by a 10 HP spindle motor to a maximum speed of 8,000 RPM, providing the power and speed appropriate for general-purpose machining of steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous alloys. The worktable measures approximately 44.1 by 21.7 inches and is fitted with T-slots for standard fixture mounting. Axis travels span 40.2 inches in X, 20.1 inches in Y, and 18.1 inches in Z. The CNC control is a Fanuc-based system consistent with the MV series platform, offering standard G-code compatibility and dependable operation. Box-way construction on all three linear axes delivers the rigidity and vibration damping characteristic of Mori Seiki's MV series design, supporting stable cutting performance across a range of materials and operations. The automatic tool changer enables efficient multi-operation cycles. At approximately 12,390 pounds, the MV50 provides a capable mid-size VMC platform for job shops and production environments. Overall machine dimensions are approximately 114.2 by 106.3 by 104.3 inches. Note: Mori Seiki merged with DMG to form DMG Mori around 2013; machines labeled MORI SEIKI are pre-rebranding era. Buyers should verify specific axis travel and spindle specifications against the machine's data plate.
