Mori Seiki’s NMV5000 DCG utilizes MAPPS III for fast processing and collision prevention.

Chicago, Illinois, March 26, 2007 – The best of Mori Seiki’s unique innovations will be on display at the WESTEC 2007 Exposition and Conference from March 26 - 29 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The industry’s leader in innovation will showcase the NMV5000 DCG^®, an unparalleled 5-axis vertical machining center, as well as the DuraTurn 2050 and DuraVertical 5100, in booth #3300.

Mori Seiki’s NMV5000 DCG answers the growing demand that has come from the die/mold, medical, aerospace and general high precision machining industries as a result of the need for high added value and increasing complexity of part geometries. The NMV5000 DCG achieves superb accuracy by increasing machine rigidity with DCG technology and a box-in-box construction. To further improve the machine’s precision, the NMV5000 DCG implements DD (Direct Drive) motors on the B and C axes.

The NMV5000 DCG also includes MAPPS III, the latest iteration of Mori Seiki’s standard control. MAPPS III maximizes user-friendliness and offers improved hardware specifications, operability, and shorter programming times. The control allows fast processing and is equipped with a collision prevention function that monitors machine movements in real time. MAPPS III also takes advantage of the ease and convenience of conversational input, providing high-speed canned cycles that lead to dramatic increases in programming speed.

Mori Seiki’s DuraTurn 2050 lathe and DuraVertical 5100 vertical machining center offer high performance machining at an extremely competitive price. The DuraTurn line was developed with an extremely rigid body to minimize the effects of vibration and increase accuracy, even over long-term operation. With four models of varying size, DuraTurn machines allow for a maximum turning length ranging from 13.2" to 20.9".

In designing the DuraVertical line of machines, Mori Seiki concentrated on surpassing the machine performance of all other models in its class by combining reliability and accuracy with affordability. The DuraVertical 5100 possesses a standard tool storage capacity of 30 tools and provides a tool-to-tool change time of just 1.3 seconds. Additionally, a variety of chip conveyor options are available to boost the machine’s productivity even further.

Mori Seiki produces extremely reliable machine tools and distributes worldwide. The U.S. headquarters is in Chicago with offices in Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles, and New Jersey.
