1998 MORI SEIKI SV400 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 1998 Mori Seiki SV400 is a 3-axis vertical machining center from Mori Seiki's compact SV series, providing reliable general-purpose machining in a small-footprint package. The SV400 features a CAT 40 spindle taper driven by a 15 HP motor to a maximum speed of 8,000 RPM, enabling effective machining of aluminum, steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous alloys. The work envelope spans 15.7 inches in X, 14.2 inches in Y, and 15.7 inches in Z, and the machine is well-suited for small-to-medium precision components in job shop and production environments where floor space is limited. The Fanuc CNC control provides standard G-code programming, macro B capability, and reliable operation consistent with the late 1990s Mori Seiki platform standard. Box-way construction on all three axes delivers the rigidity and vibration damping characteristic of the SV series, supporting stable cutting across a range of materials and operations. The automatic tool changer enables multi-operation machining without manual intervention. At approximately 8,800 pounds, the SV400 offers solid structural mass relative to its compact size. Note: Mori Seiki merged with DMG to form DMG Mori around 2013; machines labeled MORI SEIKI are pre-rebranding era. The SV400 is appropriate for toolroom use, light production cells, and small-part precision machining applications where a compact, capable 3-axis VMC is required.
