Mori Seiki's NMV8000 DCG® Brings 5-Axis Machining to Large Part Production

Chicago, Illinois, June 4, 2008 - Mori Seiki has announced the release of the NMV8000 DCG®, a 5-axis vertical machining center created to meet the needs of manufacturers producing large, complex parts. Building off the highly successful design of the NMV5000 DCG, the new machine accommodates workpieces up to a diameter of 39.7", weighing up to 2,200 lbs.

In developing the NMV Series, Mori Seiki concentrated on both high-precision machining and ease of use. Several of the company's proven technologies were incorporated to maximize the machines' performance. DCG technology minimizes vibration by pushing moving structural parts along their simulated centers of gravity. As a result, machining accuracy is improved, machining time is reduced and tool life is extended. The use of DDM(TM) (Direct Drive Motors) eliminates backlash and enables high-speed rotation. Additionally, the highly successful ORC(TM) (Octagonal Ram Construction) design from Mori Seiki's NT Series has been incorporated into the NMV8000 DCG.

Through the use of MAPPS III, the latest iteration of Mori Seiki's standard-setting control system, the NMV8000 DCG is equipped with a 3D interference checking function. This function proves especially beneficial to those with minimal experience in 5-axis machining. The MAPPS III control also takes advantage of the ease and convenience of conversational input, providing high-speed canned cycles that lead to dramatic increases in programming speed.

The NMV8000 DCG can be equipped with either a No. 40 taper or No. 50 taper spindle, allowing customers to optimize the machine for their specific applications.

Mori Seiki produces extremely reliable machine tools and distributes worldwide. The U.S. headquarters is in Chicago with offices in Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles, and New Jersey.
