2008 MORI SEIKI VS8000-50 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2008 Mori Seiki VS8000-50 is a 3-axis vertical machining center engineered for large-format, high-power machining of aerospace structural components, substantial mold and die sets, and oversized industrial parts requiring extended table length and deep Y/Z axis reach. The '/50' designation identifies the CAT 50 spindle interface, providing high rigidity and maximum torque for demanding cuts in titanium, Inconel, hardened steels, and large-diameter tooling. The machine delivers an impressive work envelope of 63.0 inches in X, 33.5 inches in Y, and 23.6 inches in Z, with a worktable measuring 78.7 by 33.5 inches and a maximum table load of 4,400 pounds. A 40 HP spindle motor drives the CAT 50 taper to a maximum speed of 8,000 RPM. The MSX-501III (MAPPS II) CNC control provides reliable G-code programming, macro B capability, and the advanced look-ahead contouring required for efficient large-part programs. Rapid traverse rates of 40 m/min (1,574 ipm) in X and Y, and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in Z minimize non-cutting time during complex programs. Overall machine dimensions are approximately 220 by 144 by 133 inches, and machine weight is approximately 37,500 pounds—reflecting the robust structural mass required for stable large-part heavy-duty cutting. Note: Mori Seiki merged with DMG to form DMG Mori around 2013; machines labeled MORI SEIKI are pre-rebranding era. The VS8000-50 is ideally suited for aerospace, heavy industrial machining, and large mold and die production.
