1997 Mori Seiki MH-63 CNC Horizontal Mill

The 1997 Mori Seiki MH-63 Horizontal Machining Center is a rugged, industrial workhorse equipped with two 24.8-inch square pallets capable of full 4th-axis indexing to 0.001°. It features generous travel axes: 39.4-inch X, 33.5-inch Y, and 36.2-inch Z, powered by a CAT-50 spindle delivering up to 6000 RPM via a 20-HP motor under FANUC 16M control. Complementing its precision, the machine includes a 60-station tool carousel, high-pressure coolant-to-spindle delivery, chip conveyor, rigid tapping, and heavy-duty construction that supports up to 3300-lb pallet loads—making it ideal for long runs of complex parts with minimal manual setup.

In contrast to manually loaded horizontal mills of its era, the MH-63 distinguishes itself with rapid-production readiness—its twin-pallet automation, tool capacity, and coolant-enabled operation dramatically reduce manual intervention and setup downtime, delivering enhanced throughput and consistency.
