2005 MORI SEIKI MV653/50 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2005 Mori Seiki MV653/50 is a 3-axis vertical machining center combining the large-format MV65 platform with an Automatic Pallet Changer and CAT 50 spindle taper for maximum torque and heavy-duty production capability. The '/50' designation specifically identifies this as the CAT 50 tool interface variant of the MV653, offering enhanced spindle rigidity and torque capacity for aggressive cuts in titanium, hardened steels, and large-diameter tooling applications. The work envelope spans approximately 60 inches in X, 25.6 inches in Y, and 25.6 inches in Z, with a worktable measuring 26 by 66.9 inches. A 25 HP spindle motor drives the spindle to a maximum speed of 6,000 RPM. The Fanuc MSG-501 (18iM) CNC control provides full G-code compatibility, macro B programming, and robust operator interface support. The 3-pallet APC system enables continuous production cycling, maximizing spindle utilization and reducing idle time between setups. An automatic tool changer with 60 positions supports complex, multi-operation programs for large, high-feature-count components. Total machine weight including the pallet changer system is approximately 35,260 pounds, reflecting the substantial cast iron construction of this heavy-duty VMC platform. Note: Mori Seiki merged with DMG to form DMG Mori around 2013; machines labeled MORI SEIKI are pre-rebranding era. Ideal for aerospace, heavy industrial machining, and large-scale mold and die production.
