We bought this machine brand new in 2005

Mori Seiki ZL-253SMC

$389,700 as supplied with all options.

Replaced the chip conveyer in 2016

Has never ran any cast, only bar stock aluminum or steel

24 station pallet with twin gripper rotating head

Dual 8″ chucks, hand off style machine for second side operations

Live tools on both turrets

All tool holders and live tools go with the machine

Great machine – no issues, well maintained in good working order.
We are replacing it with another 3 axis single spindle machine and robot loader to match our others.

Can be seen under power, or via facetime as needed.

Lots of paperwork and manuals to accompany the machine
