USED MORI SEIKI NLX-2500/700 – 2012
The MORI SEIKI NLX-2500/700 2012 is a high-performance CNC Turning Center designed for precision turning, boring, threading, facing, grooving, and other production machining operations. The NLX-2500 series is known for its rigid construction, high machining accuracy, thermal stability, and reliable operation in demanding production environments.
The /700 configuration provides an extended turning length compared with shorter-bed NLX-2500 models, making it particularly suitable for longer shafts, sleeves, flanges, and other cylindrical components. The machine offers approximately 366 mm (14.4″) maximum turning diameter and 705 mm (27.8″) maximum turning length, depending on the exact configuration.
The 2012 NLX-2500/700 can be found with a 10-inch hydraulic chuck, powerful main spindle, automatic turret, and Mori Seiki’s MAPPS CNC control. Depending on the specific machine, it may also be equipped with C-axis, live tooling, chip conveyor, bar feeder, parts catcher, tailstock, and high-pressure coolant.
The rigid slant-bed construction helps provide stability during heavy cutting while maintaining dimensional accuracy. The machine is suitable for manufacturers producing automotive components, hydraulic parts, industrial components, aerospace parts, energy components, and general precision-machined products.
A used MORI SEIKI NLX-2500/700 2012 provides manufacturers with an opportunity to acquire a relatively modern Japanese CNC turning center at a substantially lower investment than a new machine.
