Mitsui Seiki brings out Large-Scale 5 axis MC

January 25, 2018

Mitsui Seiki Kogyo held a private show called “Mitsui Technical Fair (MTF) 2018” at its head office on January 23 and 24, 2018. The new “Vertex 75XIII” compressor, 5 axis vertical machining center, and the newly developed “Vertex 100”, large-scale machine, were introduced for the first time(= photo).
“Vertex 100” can machining large workpieces up to 1250 mm diameter×850 mm height. Visitors were keen to see the machine in action.
The release date is undetermined, and test cuts are repeatedly adjusted to improve the degree of perfection.
The “75XIII”, which has undergone minor-change, corresponds at most to the direct diameter 950 mm and improves the thermal displacements by a factor of three over the previous model. In addition, the rigidity of the bed has been improved.
MTF2018 was held in Nagoya on January 30 and 31, and in Osaka on February 6 and 7, attracting many visitors. Special lectures were held at each base.
