MORI SEIKI NL-2500 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a **36.4-inch swing** and a **27.7-inch machining length**, supporting workpieces up to these maximum diameters and lengths. It is a **2-axis machine** operating along the X (diameter) and Z (length) axes, suitable for precision turning of symmetrical parts. The lathe includes a **10-inch chuck** for robust gripping and a **2.9-inch bar capacity**, accommodating medium-sized bar stock feed. Driven by a **26.0 hp motor**, it can achieve speeds up to **4,000 RPM**, enabling efficient turning operations with a maximum turning diameter of **14.0 inches**. The presence of a **tailstock** provides additional support for longer workpieces, enhancing stability and accuracy during machining. This lathe also features **live tooling**, allowing for off-center milling, drilling, or tapping operations without removing the part from the spindle, increasing versatility and reducing setup time. However, it does not include a sub spindle, limiting simultaneous dual-spindle machining capabilities. Overall, this machine combines moderate swing and power for a balance of versatility and precision in medium-sized part production, with capabilities suitable for general turning and live-tool milling tasks. It fits applications requiring reliable CNC control with moderate complexity and enhanced tooling functionality.
