2000 MORI SEIKI SV503 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2000 Mori Seiki SV503 is a 3-axis vertical machining center representing an updated configuration within the SV500 platform family. The '503' designation reflects a generational refinement of the SV500 series, incorporating updated Fanuc CNC control technology and servo drive systems consistent with early 2000s Mori Seiki production standards. The machine maintains the core SV500 work envelope of 19.7 inches in X, 16.5 inches in Y, and 18.1 inches in Z, with a 20 HP spindle motor driving the CAT 40 taper spindle to a maximum speed of 10,000 RPM. The worktable is fitted with T-slots for standard workholding fixtures, and the Fanuc CNC control provides reliable G-code programming, macro B support, and broad CAM compatibility. Box-way construction on all three axes contributes to the machine's rigidity and vibration damping, supporting consistent accuracy and surface finish. The automatic tool changer enables multi-tool production cycles without manual intervention. At approximately 14,300 pounds, the SV503 offers solid structural mass for its size class. Note: Mori Seiki merged with DMG to form DMG Mori around 2013; machines labeled MORI SEIKI are pre-rebranding era. The SV503 is appropriate for toolroom use, precision parts manufacturing, and general-purpose 3-axis VMC production.
