2005 MORI SEIKI NL2000MC CNC LATHES

Technical Description

The Mori Seiki NL2000MC/500 is a CNC turning center from Mori Seiki's NL series (predecessor to today's DMG MORI NLX line), combining turning with live/rotary milling tools for done-in-one machining of shafts, flanges, and similar precision components. It is built around a single main spindle with a 12-station turret, all 12 stations equipped as rotating (live) tool positions, and a spindle bore of 73 mm with a JIS A2-6 spindle nose. Maximum turning diameter is approximately 356 mm (14 in) and maximum turning length approximately 510 mm (20 in), with a maximum spindle speed of 5,000 rpm driven by an 18.5 kW spindle motor. The machine is controlled by a Fanuc-based CNC system, consistent with Mori Seiki's turnkey turning centers of this era. The "/500" suffix denotes the bed/turning-length configuration. Industries served include automotive, aerospace, and general precision manufacturing where parts require both turning and secondary milling or drilling operations in a single setup. Overall machine footprint and shipping weight were reported inconsistently across used-equipment listings (ranging from roughly 5,000-5,500 kg depending on source and sub-configuration) and have been left blank pending a single corroborated figure; see Issue/Notes.
