2001 MORI SEIKI SV403 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2001 Mori Seiki SV403 is a 3-axis vertical machining center representing an updated configuration of the compact SV400 platform. The '403' designation reflects an incremental refinement within the SV series, maintaining the same core work envelope and spindle specifications while incorporating updated control and servo technology consistent with early 2000s Mori Seiki standards. The machine features a CAT 40 spindle taper driven by a 15 HP motor to a maximum speed of 8,000 RPM, providing capable cutting performance in aluminum, steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous materials. The work envelope spans 15.7 inches in X, 14.2 inches in Y, and 15.7 inches in Z, and the worktable accommodates small-to-medium precision components with T-slot fixturing. The Fanuc CNC control delivers standard G-code programming, reliable operation, and compatibility with common CAM post-processors. Box-way construction on all three axes provides the rigidity and damping characteristic of Mori Seiki's compact VMC designs. The automatic tool changer enables efficient multi-operation production cycles. At approximately 8,800 pounds, the SV403 offers solid structural mass for its compact footprint. Note: Mori Seiki merged with DMG to form DMG Mori around 2013; machines labeled MORI SEIKI are pre-rebranding era. The SV403 is suited to toolrooms, small-part production cells, and precision manufacturing environments requiring a compact, dependable 3-axis VMC.
