This Mori Seiki NL 2500MC 1250 is a CNC lathe — sometimes referred to as a turning centre — a machine tool used to remove material by rotating a workpiece against a cutting tool, producing cylindrical, conical, and profiled components to precise dimensions. Mori Seiki is a well-established Japanese manufacturer of high-precision machine tools, with a strong reputation in the metalworking and manufacturing industries for producing reliable lathes, machining centres, and multi-tasking machines.
Built in 2006 and currently located in the Netherlands, this machine is offered in used condition and has logged approximately 4,500 cutting hours. It is controlled by a Mori Seiki MSX-850 CNC unit, which supports accurate and efficient machining operations including ISO G-code programming.
The lathe has a turning diameter of 380 mm and a turning length of 1,250 mm, making it well suited to larger workpieces. Bar capacity is 80 mm in diameter. The spindle is driven by a 22 kW integrated motor — a beltless, stepless direct-drive arrangement — and reaches a maximum speed of 4,000 rpm. Rapid traverse speed across all axes is 30 m/min. The spindle nose is sized to A2-8, and the machine runs on prismatic guides on all axes for rigidity and repeatability.
The turret accommodates 12 tool positions and is motorised, enabling live tooling operations. A C-axis is fitted, allowing the spindle to be indexed and interpolated as a controlled rotary axis for milling, drilling, and contour operations on the rotating spindle. The tailstock is digital and equipped with a B-axis, which permits a drill or similar tool to be installed and driven through G-code programming in an ISO part program — extending the machine's capability for off-centre and angled operations without repositioning the workpiece.
Additional equipment includes an Autoblok hydraulic programmable steady rest (SMW Autoblok), a Daikin spindle oil cooler, and a Morse taper MT5 tailstock socket. The seller describes this machine as configured for large chip removal, indicating it has been used for heavy-duty turning applications.
