MORI SEIKI NH5000/40 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Mori Seiki NH5000/40 is a compact horizontal machining center engineered for precision metal fabrication and complex multi-axis operations. This machine features a robust three-axis configuration with X-axis travel of 24.7 inches, Y-axis travel of 23.5 inches, and Z-axis travel of 26.3 inches, providing adequate workspace for medium-sized components. The spindle delivers a maximum speed of 14,000 RPM with a 30 horsepower motor, enabling efficient cutting operations across various materials and finishing applications. The tool magazine accommodates 330 tools, significantly reducing setup times and maximizing production efficiency for jobs requiring multiple tool changes. The square pallet dimensions of 19.654 inches by 19.654 inches are complemented by a dual-pallet configuration, allowing continuous operation with one pallet loading while the other machines. The CNC control system, typically MSX series controllers in production models, provides precise positioning and advanced programming capabilities. Built by DMG Mori, this machine demonstrates space-saving design while maintaining substantial rigidity and repeatability essential for tolerant machining tasks. The NH5000/40 is particularly suited for aerospace, automotive, and general manufacturing applications requiring reliable horizontal milling with rapid tool accessibility and minimal cycle times.
