Meeting the demand for complex geometries, tiny sizes and flawless surface finishes isn't easy—but the new NTX2000 mill-turn center is up to the challenge.

Mori Seiki has started taking orders for the ULTRASONIC 65 monoBLOCK® equipped with ultrasonic machining functions and the LASERTEC 65 Shape equipped with laser machining functions. Both machines are designed based on the DMU 65 monoBLOCK® 5-axis control machining center made by Mori Seiki's collaboration partner, GILDEMEISTER AG of Germany.

After a recent respite from years of brutal economic conditions, business owners are breathing a sign of relief. The recession battered U.S. manufacturers so hard, in fact, that many haven't had the time—or the energy—to ponder the next challenge: A significant skilled-labor shortage.

Iga Innovation Days 2011 was held from November 17 - 19, attracting over 7,000 visitors. Attendees were thrilled by the exhibition of next generation machines, such as ultrasonic and laser offerings, as well as conventional machine tools appropriate for a wide range of industries.

Mori Seiki is pleased to announce a new development initiative that would bring machine tool manufacturing to North America. Groundbreaking on the new plant in Davis, CA will take place on June 22, 2011.
