2014 MORI SEIKI NVX5100-40 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2014 Mori Seiki NVX5100-40 is a 3-axis vertical machining center representing the updated NVX generation of the NV5000 platform, introducing enhanced spindle performance, improved structural design, and advanced CNC control capability. The '/40' designation specifies the CAT 40 spindle interface, optimized for high-speed, high-precision applications in aluminum, steel, and titanium. The machine provides 41.3 inches of X travel, 20.9 inches of Y, and 20.1 inches of Z, with a worktable measuring 53.1 by 23.6 inches and a maximum table load of 2,645 pounds. The spindle motor delivers 15 kW continuous (20 HP) with a 30-minute rating of 20 kW, driving the CAT 40 taper to a maximum speed of 13,000 RPM—higher than the standard NV5000—for improved aluminum finishing and thermal management. The CELOS CNC control on later units (or MAPPS IV on earlier NVX builds) provides an intuitive touchscreen interface alongside Fanuc 31i-B5 servo technology, supporting smart manufacturing integration, tool management, and advanced look-ahead contouring. Overall machine dimensions are approximately 114 by 114 by 110 inches, and machine weight is approximately 15,430 pounds. Rapid traverse is 1,575 ipm on all axes. Note: Mori Seiki merged with DMG to form DMG Mori around 2013; machines labeled MORI SEIKI are pre-rebranding era. The NVX5100-40 is well-suited for aerospace, automotive, and general precision manufacturing requiring high spindle speed and reliable 3-axis VMC performance.
