In order to hold advantage over the cheap Chinese products the die mold cutting industry in Japan where vertical machining centers are mainly used has come up with manufacturing complicated high-precision die molds in a short delivery term. The machine tool manufacturers have responded to such demands by introducing machining centers equipped with various complicated functions. However, they have still not been able to satisfy the customers. Paying reconsideration to the machine concept based on the current requirements for die mold cutting, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has successfully developed a Machining Center DCV50 simple in design but capable of stable, high-precision cutting. The outline of the machine is introduced below.
