This Mori Seiki MT 2000 is a lathe — sometimes referred to as a turning centre — a machine tool designed to rotate a workpiece against cutting tools to produce cylindrical, tapered, and profiled components with high precision. Mori Seiki is a well-established Japanese manufacturer with a long history of producing precision machine tools for the aerospace, automotive, medical, and general engineering industries, and their lathes are widely regarded for their rigidity, accuracy, and advanced control systems.
This particular example dates from 2004 and is offered in used condition from the United Kingdom. It is configured as a turn-mill centre equipped with a sub-spindle, Y-axis, and B-axis, making it capable of combined turning and milling operations in a single setup. The control system is the MSG 501. The main spindle accepts a 250 mm chuck via an A2-6 spindle nose, runs to 4,500 rpm, and is driven by a 20 hp spindle motor. Bar capacity through the main spindle is 63.5 mm. The C-axis provides rotational positioning to 0.001-degree resolution, enabling precise angular and contour work.
The sub-spindle extends the machine's capability for complete part machining in one operation. It has a bar capacity of 43.18 mm, a dedicated 10 hp motor, and a maximum speed of 6,000 rpm. The B-axis offers a travel range of ±120 degrees, and the Y-axis provides ±78.7 mm of off-centreline travel, enabling true milling and complex multi-axis work that a standard two-axis lathe cannot perform.
In terms of work envelope, the swing over the cross slide is 599.5 mm and the full swing is 749.0 mm. Maximum cutting diameter is 548.6 mm, maximum cutting length is 1,018.0 mm, and the distance between centres is 1,280.0 mm. The tooling system comprises a 12-station turret combined with a 60-station tool change capacity, providing considerable flexibility for complex or multi-operation components.
The machine is offered with a CNC barfeed, part conveyor, swarf conveyor, high-pressure coolant system, tool setting probe, a full set of manuals, and a good range of tooling included. This represents a well-equipped, multi-axis turn-mill centre suited to precision subcontract and production machining environments.
