Even after it was done I still didn't know what it was.

Maybe a part for a rotary engine? It looks like the center section was cut into 3 lobes.(?)

I suspect it's just as Ove said, a demonstration piece.  Still it was mesmerizing seeing the machine doing all those ops.

YUP  Demo part.

Mori Seki is the 800 pound gorilla of the machine tool industry.   Big company....good products.

Wow,

I want one!

I guess if you have to ask how much, you can't afford it. So how much for the whole 9 yards including tooling?

Best Regards

My whole investment in tools and equipment wouldn't even put a dent in the tooling cost for that machine.  Very very cool to watch though!!

The CAM software is pretty high-tech to do that too.

'cept it's a DMG, Deckel Maho Gildemeister.  Serious machinery manufacturer, based (surprise!!) in Germany.  It's the DMG version (most of the major machinery makers have something similar in their range) of a lathe with a very substantial milling capability, and a second spindle, so it can finish a part in one go.

Some 10 years ago, I was responsible for buying a Mazak Integrex, for the company I worked for.  An Integrex is a similar machine to the one in the video, except "ours" was a lot smaller, 200mm chucks if I remember.
Again from memory, with a whole load of options , like large tool magazine, bar feeder, etc etc, the bill came to something like AU$450,000.  The machine paid for itself within the first couple of years.
