This Mori Seiki MT1500SZ is a used multitasking lathe — sometimes referred to as a turning centre — dating from 2004 and currently located in France. Multitasking lathes of this type combine turning, milling, and drilling operations in a single setup, eliminating the need to transfer workpieces between separate machines. Mori Seiki is a well-established Japanese machine tool manufacturer with a long history of producing high-precision CNC lathes, machining centres, and multitasking machines for the aerospace, automotive, energy, and general engineering industries.
The MT1500SZ is a five-axis CNC multitasking machine equipped with an auto-indexing milling head and controlled by a Fanuc Series 18i-TB (MSX-501) CNC system. It carries two turning spindles and a dedicated milling spindle, making it capable of complete part machining in a single clamping. Spindle one runs to 4,500 RPM with a 15 kW motor, while spindle two runs to 6,000 RPM with an 11 kW motor; both spindles have a bore diameter of 56 mm. The milling spindle reaches 12,000 RPM and is driven by a 5.5 kW motor. Bar capacity on the main spindle is 45 mm, rising to 65 mm with an eight-inch chuck fitted.
Maximum turning diameter is 400 mm, with a maximum turning length of 920 mm across both chucks. Swing over the bed is 830 mm, and swing over the cross carriage is 480–760 mm. Linear travels are 455 mm in X and 970 mm in Z, with a Y-axis travel of ±70 mm. The B-axis rotates ±120° with an indexing resolution of 0.001°, and the C-axis on both spindles also resolves to 0.001°. Rapid feed rates are 24 m/min in X, 16 m/min in Y, and 30 m/min in Z.
Tooling is handled by a twelve-position Z-axis turret and a 40-position automatic tool changer using Sandvik Coromant Capto C5 toolholders. Tool measurement is provided by a Renishaw probing system. The machine is fitted with quick-change-jaw Forkardt chucks of 170–175 mm diameter (likely type 3FNC 175-42, to be verified) and an SMW Autoblok automatic steady rest of type SLU-3.2-ZS, with a capacity range of 50–200 mm. A motorised tailstock with a quill diameter of 110 mm is also included. Both low-pressure and high-pressure coolant systems are fitted, with the high-pressure circuit rated at 40 bar (to be verified). A chip conveyor is included. Total power requirement is 59 kVA, and the machine weighs approximately 11 tonnes.
