MORI SEIKI NL2000Y/500 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a high-performance CNC turning center equipped with a 10-inch chuck and 4-axis capability, featuring a MAPPS III conversational programming control system. The machine delivers a maximum spindle speed of 5,000 RPM with a maximum swing diameter of 36.3 inches and accommodates bar stock up to 2.6 inches in diameter. The integrated tailstock extends machining versatility for longer workpieces, while the 20-inch machining length provides substantial working envelope. The 12-station turret enables rapid tool changes for efficient multi-operation turning cycles. With MAPPS III control, the system offers advanced features including machine interference checking functionality and high-speed fixed cycle capabilities. Travel specifications include X-axis (10.2 inches), Z-axis (23.2 inches), and Y-axis (±2 inches), with maximum cross-slide coverage of 29.7 inches and maximum turning diameter capacity of 14 inches. The MAPPS III platform delivers enhanced performance through reduced simulation time and doubled screen switching speeds, enabling faster program verification and setup. This configuration makes the machine suitable for precision turning operations requiring multi-axis control, complex tool changes, and integrated quality assurance through real-time interference detection. The combination of substantial chuck size, extended bar capacity, and automated tooling system positions this machine for high-volume production of precision-turned components in diverse manufacturing environments.
