2011 MORI SEIKI NVX5100-50 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2011 Mori Seiki NVX5100-50 is a 3-axis vertical machining center configured with a CAT 50 spindle taper for high-torque, heavy-duty cutting applications. The '/50' designation identifies the BT50/CAT50 spindle interface variant of the NVX5100 platform, providing significantly greater spindle rigidity and torque capacity than the CAT 40 version, making this machine particularly suited for aggressive cuts in titanium, Inconel, hardened steels, and large-diameter face milling operations. The machine provides 41.3 inches of X travel, 21.7 inches of Y, and 20.1 inches of Z, with a worktable measuring approximately 51.2 by 21.7 inches. The spindle motor delivers approximately 30 HP continuous (22 kW), with a 30-minute peak of 40 HP, and maximum speed of 8,000 RPM—reflecting the lower speed, higher torque configuration appropriate for the CAT 50 interface. The MAPPS IV CNC control (Fanuc 30i base) delivers high-speed look-ahead, thermal compensation, and comprehensive G-code compatibility. Overall machine dimensions are approximately 141.7 by 134.6 by 116.1 inches, and machine weight is approximately 20,000 pounds. Rapid traverse on all axes is 1,417 ipm. Note: Mori Seiki merged with DMG to form DMG Mori around 2013; machines labeled MORI SEIKI are pre-rebranding era. The NVX5100-50 is well-suited for aerospace structural components, heavy industrial parts, and precision manufacturing applications requiring maximum spindle torque.
