This Mori Seiki NL 2500 SMC is a used CNC lathe — sometimes referred to as a turning centre — dating from 2008 and available for immediate collection from the Netherlands. CNC lathes are precision machine tools used to shape metal workpieces by rotating them against cutting tools under computer numerical control, enabling high-accuracy turning, boring, threading, and facing operations across a wide range of industries. Mori Seiki is a well-established Japanese manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for producing high-quality CNC machine tools, including lathes, machining centres, and multitasking machines, serving sectors that demand tight tolerances and consistent repeatability.
This machine is equipped with the Mori Seiki MSX-850 control unit and includes the Mapps 4 automatic conversational programming system, which allows operators to generate part programmes interactively without requiring manual G-code input. The main spindle runs up to 4,000 rpm and is driven by an 18.5 kW motor, while the integrated sub-spindle head is powered by an 11 kW motor, enabling simultaneous or sequential machining on both ends of a workpiece. The spindle taper is A2-8 and the main chuck measures 250 mm. Motorised live tools reach up to 6,000 rpm, supporting driven-tool operations such as milling, drilling, and tapping directly on the lathe. The 12-station motorised turret provides ample capacity for complex multi-operation cycles.
Key cutting capacity figures include a turning diameter of 365 mm, a turning length of 755 mm, and a bar passage of 80 mm. Rapid traverse speed is 30 m/min. The machine is also fitted with an automatic tool measurement system using two Renishaw probe arms, an automatic effort control and tool consumption monitor, and an interface for a bar loader, making it well suited to automated or lights-out production environments. An automatic parts collector and a double foot pedal for independent operation of the main and sub-spindle chucks are also included.
Connectivity is provided via USB, PC Card (PCMCIA), and RS-232 ports. Ancillary equipment supplied with the machine includes an oil cooler for both Daikin spindles, a lateral hinge-type chip extractor, and an electrical transformer. A comprehensive tooling package is included, comprising three single external tool holders, two double external tool holders, four single internal tool holders, two double internal tool holders, two motorised radial holders, one axial motorised unit, one frontal holder, and one truncated holder. Documentation provided includes a parts list, electrical diagrams, and programming and operation manuals. The machine was manufactured in Japan and is offered in used condition with immediate availability.
