Mori Seiki NHX-5000 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2011 Mori Seiki NHX-5000 Horizontal Machining Center is a high-precision, high-speed CNC milling machine designed for dynamic and stable machining of large and complex workpieces. It is equipped with a powerful 12,000 RPM spindle (BT40 taper) delivering 40 HP and 76.7 ft/lbs torque, enabling efficient high-speed cutting operations. The machine features a 2-pallet changer system with a 19.7" x 19.7" pallet size that supports maximum workpiece weights up to approximately 882 lbs, and a maximum workpiece diameter of 800 mm (31.5") and height of up to 1000 mm (39.4"), accommodating a broad range of industrial applications. The rotary table supports 1-degree indexing, providing precise positioning and repeatability for complex machining tasks. The 60-station tool changer offers extensive tooling capacity with rapid, reliable tool change time around 0.9 seconds, optimizing cycle times for production efficiency. The NHX-5000 offers axis travels of approximately 28.7" (X), 28.7" (Y), and 34.5" (Z), supported by a thick, high-rigidity bed and stepped X-axis guideways to ensure maximum structural stability and vibration resistance during machining. Rapid traverse rates reach up to 2352 inches per minute in X and Y axes, supporting fast positioning movements. The machine includes features like flood coolant, chip conveyor options, and user-friendly controls (e.g., CELOS interface) for enhanced operational efficiency. This compact yet robust horizontal machining center is widely used in automotive, aerospace, and tooling industries for its combination of high rigidity, precision, dynamic performance, and automation capabilities.
