Mori Seiki Vertical Machining Centers define the world standard in vertical machining centers, claiming several awards over the years, including the Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun sponsored “46th Best 10 New Products Awards,” The Nikkan Kogyo Shumbun sponsored “32nd Machine Design Award and Extraordinary Prize” and the 2002 Nikkei Superior Products and Services Awards/Nikkei Business Daily Awards for Excellence.”

Mori Seiki Co., Ltd. manufactures machine tools, systems and peripheral devices. There are over 160,000 plants all over the world, and the company employs almost 3,100 people.

Established in 1962, Mori Seiki has produced over 200 models of CNC lathes and machining centers, including its newest innovations in the NV line, offering a spindle that has a maximum speed of 12000rpm. It uses a Direct Drive Spindle (DDS) that is gearless, making the machine capable of reaching its full power of 22 kW over 15 minutes. Helping raise productivity greatly, it has a capability of 18.5 kW, for 30 mins continuously, at all speeds. The spindle is able ...
... to go from zero to 12000rpm in under one second, and decelerates back to zero in less than one second. Chip-to-chip tool changes can be made in barely over three seconds. It boasts a traverse rate of all three axes of 42 m/in, the X-axis goes to .43 G, the Y-axis acceleration is 0.39 G, and the Z-axis acceleration is 0.74 G. It offers remarkably high speeds, machine precision, unparalleled rigidity and user-friend operation.

Mori Seiki’s innovations in the field of vertical machining centers includes their Driven at the Center of Gravity (DCG®) technology, which reduces vibrations, and offers high-quality machining with fast speeds, and longer tool lives. All vertical machining centers feature this innovative technology except the NV5000 and the NV7000. Advances by Mori Seiki include the elimination of the machine’s overhang, adding instead an arched column to enclose the spindle and the table. All of these ideas speak to the quality and originality of Mori Seiki design and functionality, truly making it an industry leader in the field of vertical machining center manufacturing.

The unique specifications available to each model are available on the Product Description pages of each device, and include X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis, working surface, table loading capacity, maximum spindle speeds, type of tool shanks required, and tool storage capacity information for Models NV4000, NV5000, NV6000 and NV7000. Options include a heat displacement controller function that stabilizes the machining precision even over long periods of production. Note that depending on restrictions leveled by the operator with the work piece clamping device, the fixture and tool used, it may reduce your ability to operate at the maximum possible spindle speed.

Mori Seiki’s unparalleled commitment to excellence means that service and support for all of its machines are offered for the life of the device. There are technical support and service centers all over the world that deal with customer questions and on-site support options. This service commitment is global, meaning no matter where you are, your Mori Seiki machine is guaranteed to run.
