MORI SEIKI ZL-203S CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a precision Mori Seiki CNC turning center featuring dual spindle capability with an 8-inch main chuck and 8-inch sub spindle, each independently driven at 4,000 RPM and 6,000 RPM respectively via a 15 HP spindle motor. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 15.3 inches in turning diameter with a 26.8-inch swing capacity, enabling complex multi-axis machining operations. The dual turret configuration consists of a 10-station upper turret and 8-station lower turret, providing extensive tool versatility for integrated turning and milling applications. Travel capabilities include 9.3 inches and 6.3 inches of X-axis movement for the primary and secondary turrets, with Z-axis travels of 20.5 inches and 19.3 inches respectively, while the sub spindle offers 19.9 inches of B-axis rotation for advanced angular positioning. The machine is equipped with a MAPPS MSG-501 conversational CNC control system, facilitating intuitive programming and operation for both standard and complex machining sequences. Measuring 92 by 71 by 72 inches and weighing 12,897 pounds, this robust system delivers industrial-grade precision and repeatability. The integrated turning-and-milling capability, combined with simultaneous dual-spindle processing, significantly reduces cycle times and enhances productivity for high-volume production environments and prototype development applications.
