2005 MORI SEIKI MV653 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2005 Mori Seiki MV653 is a 3-axis vertical machining center representing an advanced generation of the MV65 platform, incorporating an Automatic Pallet Changer system for high-productivity unmanned machining of large components. The '653' designation indicates the 3-pallet APC configuration integrated into the base MV65 architecture. Equipped with a CAT 50 spindle taper and a 25 HP spindle motor, the MV653 achieves a maximum spindle speed of 6,000 RPM—an increase over earlier MV65 variants. The work envelope spans approximately 60 inches in X, 25.6 inches in Y, and 25.6 inches in Z, with the worktable measuring 26 by 66.9 inches. The Fanuc MSG-501 (18iM) CNC control provides reliable G-code programming, macro B capability, and operator-friendly interface functionality. The APC system enables continuous lights-out production by automatically swapping loaded pallets, significantly increasing spindle utilization rates. The automatic tool changer with 60 positions supports extended unattended operations with minimal interruption. Overall machine weight is approximately 35,260 pounds, inclusive of the pallet changer assembly. Box-way guideways on all three axes ensure the rigidity required for heavy cutting loads. Note: Mori Seiki merged with DMG to form DMG Mori around 2013; machines labeled MORI SEIKI are pre-rebranding era. The MV653 is ideal for aerospace structural machining, large mold fabrication, and high-volume precision manufacturing.
