MORI SEIKI NH5000/50 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The MORI SEIKI NH5000/50 is a high-performance horizontal machining center featuring a 25.6-inch X-axis travel, 27.6-inch Y-axis travel, and 28.7-inch Z-axis travel, providing a sizable machining envelope. It is powered by a 40-horsepower spindle motor with a maximum spindle speed of 8,000 RPM, utilizing a robust CAT50 tool taper for heavy-duty cutting operations. The machine supports a 60-tool automatic tool changer, enhancing operational efficiency through reduced tool change times. The workpiece pallet measures 19.7 inches square (500mm x 500mm) and can accommodate loads up to approximately 1,100 pounds, facilitating versatile and heavy workpiece handling. With rapid traverse speeds approaching 1,968 inches per minute across axes, it enables swift positioning and cycle times. The machine also integrates high-pressure through-spindle coolant delivery, essential for improving tool life and machining quality by effectively managing heat and chip evacuation. The NH5000/50 is equipped with a precise 1-degree pallet indexing system and advanced digital controls (such as the MSX-701IV CNC control system). Its construction emphasizes high rigidity and thermal stability, employing technologies like DCG (Driven at the Center of Gravity) to maintain precision during high-speed operations. This combination of power, precision, and automation makes the NH5000/50 suitable for complex and high-volume manufacturing environments requiring robust horizontal milling capabilities.
