The 2012 Mori Seiki NLX-2500SY/700 is a high-end multi-axis CNC turning center, configured for complex part manufacturing with both main and sub spindles, live tooling, and Y-axis capability. Outfitted with the Mori Seiki M730BM CNC control, this lathe enables simultaneous machining operations with precision and speed. This lathe boasts a maximum turning diameter of 18.11 inches and a maximum turning length of 31.3 inches, making it well-suited for medium to long parts. The main spindle, with a robust 25 HP motor, handles bars up to 3.15 inches in diameter and reaches 4,000 RPM, while the sub spindle operates up to 6,000 RPM and accommodates 1.69-inch bar stock.
Its 12-station live tool turret supports 6,000 RPM milling, powered by a 7.5 HP live tool drive, granting significant versatility for secondary operations without part repositioning. With Y-axis travel of ±1.97 inches, and C-axis control on both spindles with .001° indexing, this machine is capable of intricate contouring and cross-axis features. Rapid traverse rates of 1,181 IPM (X/Z) and 393.7 IPM (Y) ensure swift positioning, minimising idle time. The machine also includes an L-style chip conveyor, coolant system, bolt-on turret holders, presetter, and both 10" and 6" 3-jaw chucks. At approximately 15,000 lbs, and measuring 128" x 83" x 97", the NLX-2500SY/700 is a compact yet formidable multitasking centre built for reliability and precision.
