2012 MORI SEIKI NL1500MC CNC LATHES

Technical Description

The Mori Seiki NL1500MC is a slant-bed CNC turning center from the NL Series, which Mori Seiki introduced in 2004. The MC version adds a milling turret with rotary tools and a C-axis to the base two-axis NL1500, so a part can be turned, drilled and milled in one setup. This row is the 500 mm distance-between-centers machine. It swings 923.8 mm (36.4 in) over the bed and takes a maximum turning length of 515 mm (20.2 in). Bar capacity is 52 mm (2.0 in). The spindle has a JIS A2-5 nose and a 61 mm (2.4 in) through-hole, and runs to 6,000 rpm. Its drive motor is rated 11 kW (15 hp) at 50% ED, 7.5 kW (10 hp) continuous, and a 6-inch chuck is standard. The turret holds 12 tools as standard, with 16- and 20-station turrets offered as options. Rotary tools run to 6,000 rpm on a 5.5 kW motor, and the C-axis indexes in 0.001 degree steps. Rapid traverse is 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) on X and Z, with 260 mm of X travel and 590 mm of Z travel. The tailstock takes an MT4 live center. The machine occupies 2,705 x 1,922 mm of floor space, stands 2,120 mm tall and weighs 5,400 kg (11,905 lb).
