New Twin-Spindle CNC Chucker and Gang Tool Lathe

Murata Machinery USA Inc. will introduce two new Muratec turning machines, the MW80GT and MW120GTEX, and a new version of its ML400 machine, the ML400L.

The new MW120GTEX is a high-accuracy redesign of Muratec's MW120GT twin-spindle CNC chucker. The new turning center features a high-accuracy spindle for tight tolerance requirements. The location of the Z-axis ballscrew is centered to improve accuracy and an X-axis box guideway gives the machine added rigidity. Its two-piece turret coupling also provides greater accuracy, while its twin independent gantries help provide rapid throughput.

The MW80GT with high-speed, 6,000 RPM dual spindle is engineered to produce parts that are 80 mm in diameter and 50 mm in length, and features a wide gang tool platform for added versatility. It has an X-axis stroke of 320 mm and a Z-axis stroke of 200 mm and the same gantry speed as the MW50GT, with a variety of feed and output systems designed and built by Murata Machinery USA.

The ML400L is a longer version of the ML400, which extends its part capability to 200 mm in diameter x 570 mm in length. Upper and lower turrets with roller support are offered on the ML400L, which also features an MT5 tailstock center with a live tool option for small secondary holes.

Muratec will also be showing its most popular size machine, the MD200G. The MD200G features 30 HP, 2,400 RPM dual spindles and 250 mm chucks and a 5 HP, 3,000 RPM, live tool capability. Its centralized FANUC 31 control provides both machine operation and 3-axis gantry control. A 2 x 8 kg gantry handling capability also comes standard on the MD200G.
