2008 MORI SEIKI NV5000 1A/40 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2008 Mori Seiki NV5000 1A/40 is a 3-axis vertical machining center representing a specific configuration variant of the NV5000 platform, designated with the '1A/40' suffix to indicate the first-generation A-spec build with CAT 40 spindle taper. This variant maintains the core NV5000 specifications while providing the lighter, higher-speed CAT 40 tooling interface suited for applications emphasizing spindle speed and precision over maximum torque. The machine provides 43.3 inches of X travel, 22.0 inches of Y, and 20.1 inches of Z, with a 30 HP spindle motor driving the CAT 40 taper to a maximum of 12,000 RPM. The MAPPS or Fanuc CNC control offers advanced look-ahead, thermal compensation, and broad G-code compatibility. The NV5000 platform structure provides improved thermal symmetry and casting rigidity compared to the earlier MV series, supporting consistent dimensional accuracy across extended production runs. T-slot worktable clamping accommodates standard fixturing, and the automatic tool changer enables efficient multi-operation machining. Machine weight is approximately 18,700 pounds. Note: Mori Seiki merged with DMG to form DMG Mori around 2013; machines labeled MORI SEIKI are pre-rebranding era. The NV5000 1A/40 is well-suited for precision aerospace, automotive, and general manufacturing applications where CAT 40 tooling and high spindle speed are priorities.
