Lathe And Machining Center In One

Mori Seiki’s NT series of integrated mill-turn centers fully combines a lathe with a machining center. The NT5400 DCG/1800S employs both driven at the center of gravity (DCG) technology and the box-in-box construction of the NH series HMCs. The center also employs a turret with a built-in milling motor from the NL series CNC lathes.
