MORI SEIKI NH5000 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2009 Mori Seiki NH5000 Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance CNC machine designed for precision and efficiency in demanding production environments. Featuring a robust 500 mm (19.7 in.) square pallet, it supports a maximum workpiece load of 1,100 lbs (500 kg), making it suitable for a wide range of part sizes and weights. The machine is equipped with a high-speed spindle capable of 12,000 RPM, delivering exceptional cutting performance and surface finish for both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The spindle utilizes a CAT 40 taper, ensuring compatibility with a broad range of tooling options. The NH5000 incorporates Mori Seiki’s DCG (Driven at the Center of Gravity) technology, which minimizes vibration and thermal distortion, resulting in superior accuracy and extended tool life. The machine’s three-axis travels are 28.7 in. (730 mm) in X, 28.7 in. (730 mm) in Y, and 33.5 in. (850 mm) in Z, providing a generous work envelope for complex machining operations. Rapid traverse rates reach up to 1,969 ipm (50 m/min), enabling fast cycle times and increased productivity. The 40-station automatic tool changer (ATC) ensures quick and reliable tool changes, reducing downtime and enhancing operational flexibility. Standard features include through-spindle coolant, a chip conveyor, and MAPPS conversational programming, streamlining setup and operation. The NH5000’s rigid construction, advanced control system, and high-speed capabilities make it an ideal solution for high-volume, high-precision manufacturing applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and mold and die.
