Features of the Mori Seiki DuraTurn 2050MC

• High‑performance 2‑axis (X & Z) turning center: equipped with the Mori Seiki MSX‑504 or MSC‑504 control (also referred to as MSC‑504/III), offering intuitive operation and advanced programming capability.

• 8″ (203 mm) chuck standard, supporting maximum turning diameters of approximately 330 mm (13.3″) to 370 mm (14.5″) via swing-over-bed of ~24″ and swing-over-cross-slide up to ~19″.

• Turning length between centers of approximately 430–530 mm (17.1″ to 20.8″), depending on configuration.

• X-axis travel around 215–215 mm (8.3–8.5″) and Z-axis travel around 570 mm (22.4″); both axes offer rapid traverse speeds up to ~945 ipm (24 m/min).

• Spindle: A2‑6 spindle nose with about 73 mm bore, capable of up to 4,000 rpm, driven by a roughly 18 hp (13–14 kW) motor for strong cutting in mid‑size parts.

• 12-station high-speed turret, with indexing times around 0.25 seconds, supporting quick tool changes and multi-tool sequences on the same part.

• Programmable tailstock, often with taper MT‑4 and ~80 mm quill travel and diameter, allowing support for longer parts or bar feeding operations.

• Rigid tapping capability, coolant system, chip conveyor, automatic tool presetter, PCMCIA card slot or RS‑232 port, foot‑switch and leveling pads—found on many configured units.

• Optional bar‑feed capability for lights‑out or automated part loading, particularly adapted for small batch or production runs.

• Robust construction: machine weight approximately 8,500–9,500 lbs (3,800–4,300 kg), footprint around 2.2 m × 1.8 m × 1.7 m.
