MORI SEIKI NL2500/700 – 2006
USED MORI SEIKI NL2500/700 – 2006
The MORI SEIKI NL2500/700 2006 is a heavy-duty CNC Turning Center from Mori Seiki’s highly regarded NL Series, designed for precision turning, boring, threading, facing, and other production machining operations. The NL2500 platform is known for its rigid construction, excellent thermal stability, and reliable performance in demanding manufacturing environments. The /700 designation indicates the extended machining-length configuration, making this machine particularly suitable for longer workpieces.
The 2006 MORI SEIKI NL2500/700 provides a substantial turning envelope with approximately 356 mm (14″) maximum turning diameter and 705 mm (27.8″) maximum turning length, depending on the exact machine configuration. It is commonly equipped with a 10-inch hydraulic chuck, a powerful main spindle, and a 12-station turret, providing a practical combination of workholding capacity and tooling flexibility for production applications.
The NL2500/700 is designed with a rigid slant-bed structure that helps reduce vibration during cutting and supports consistent dimensional accuracy. Depending on configuration, machines can be equipped with Mori Seiki MAPPS CNC control, live tooling, C-axis capability, tailstock, chip conveyor, parts catcher, bar feeder interface, and high-pressure coolant.
The machine is suitable for manufacturers producing shafts, bushings, flanges, hydraulic components, automotive components, and general precision-machined parts. Its relatively large work envelope also makes it useful for applications where a compact CNC lathe does not provide sufficient turning length.
Purchasing a used MORI SEIKI NL2500/700 2006 allows manufacturers to obtain a proven Japanese CNC turning center at a lower investment than purchasing a new machine while retaining the rigidity, accuracy, and production capabilities associated with the NL Series.
