Compact Twin Spindle Turning Center



Murata Machinery USA Inc., a manufacturer of high-volume CNC production machinery, has introduced a new Muratec twin spindle turning center, the MW80GT.

"The energy-saving MW80GT is designed for compact line operation, flexibility in manufacturing, versatility and easy set-up change," said Steve Landrum, North American Sales Manager of Murata Machinery USA's Turning business unit. "With its high-speed gantry loaders, fast load/unload times and reduced machine idle times, the MW80GT can help operators achieve significant cycle time reductions."

The MW80GT high-speed, 6,000 RPM dual spindle is engineered to produce high-speed parts that are 80 mm (3.15") in diameter and 50 mm (2") in length. A wide gang tool platform is designed for added versatility. The turning center features twin horizontal spindles, twin four-station tool blocks and is available with one or two Muratec high-speed 3-axis CNC gantry loaders. The MW80GT has an X-axis stroke of 320 mm and a Z-axis stroke of 200 mm and the same high-speed gantry as the MW50GT. It also works with a variety of feed and output systems designed and built by Murata Machinery USA.
