New Muratec automated turning machines from Murata Machinery USA will be displayed and demonstrated at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) in Chicago.

The MW35 all-electric, compact turning center with a servo high-speed loader (single or twin gantry loaders are available) is said to produce small parts in as little as three seconds. The machine has two spindles capable of simultaneous multi-tool cutting.

The MW40 twin spindle turning center is designed for minimal thermal displacement during machining operations of smaller parts with tight tolerances, and is available with live tooling and Y-axis milling capability.

The MW120 twin-spindle CNC turning center reduces cycle time with a high-speed gantry loader and turret axes. The machine is capable of production times as low as 16 seconds per part. The system accommodates live-tooling capabilities, including drilling and milling in every turret position. The integrated three-axis gantry robot loader enables versatile automation possibilities with increased productivity and process flexibility.

The MT100 opposed spindle machine has a built-in Y-axis for greater precision on complex parts. Upper and lower turret configuration enable the flexibility to manage two tools in a single cut while reducing cycle time. A variety of automation options include an optional third turret and a three-axis gantry robot.

The MT200 opposed-spindle-type machine accommodates larger parts with a turn diameter ranging to 8.3 in. and an 8 in. chuck.
