2000 MORI SEIKI SV500B/40 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2000 Mori Seiki SV500B/40 is a 3-axis vertical machining center representing the B-generation update of the SV500 platform with an explicit CAT 40 spindle interface designation. The 'B/40' designation indicates a refined SV500 variant with CAT 40 tool taper, incorporating incremental improvements to servo performance and control technology over the base SV500. The machine features a 20 HP spindle motor driving the CAT 40 taper to a maximum speed of 10,000 RPM, supporting machining of aluminum, steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous alloys. The work envelope spans 19.7 inches in X, 16.5 inches in Y, and 18.1 inches in Z. The Fanuc CNC control provides standard G-code programming, macro B capability, and reliable operation. Box-way construction on all three axes provides high rigidity and vibration damping, characteristic of the SV series design. The automatic tool changer enables efficient multi-operation cycles. At approximately 14,300 pounds, the SV500B/40 offers solid structural mass for its footprint. Note: Mori Seiki merged with DMG to form DMG Mori around 2013; machines labeled MORI SEIKI are pre-rebranding era. This machine is suited to precision manufacturing and job shop environments requiring reliable mid-size 3-axis VMC performance.
