MURATA (MURATEC) MW80GT HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The MURATA MW80GT is a compact twin spindle turning center engineered for high-speed precision manufacturing. This super-compact lathe features two horizontal spindles, each rated at 6,000 RPM with 10 HP output, enabling simultaneous dual-spindle operations for enhanced productivity. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 3.150 inches in turning diameter and 2.0 inches in length, with a 6-inch chuck capacity and 11.6-inch maximum swing. Equipped with dual four-station tool blocks providing eight total tool positions, the machine can execute complex turning and rotary operations with two simultaneous cutting tools. The four-axis configuration includes X and Z cutting axes, each delivering rapid traverse rates of 945 ipm, with 12.5 inches of X-axis travel and 7.87 inches of Z-axis travel. The MW80GT is distinguished by its high-speed gantry loader system featuring twin gantry configurations for rapid load/unload cycles and reduced idle times. This design optimization significantly reduces total cycle times while maintaining compact footprint dimensions. Controlled by Fanuc CNC, the machine weighs approximately 8,818 pounds and operates with a 7.5 kW spindle drive motor. Ideal for automotive, bearing manufacturing, valve and fittings, and precision engineering applications, the MW80GT delivers production flexibility, versatility, and energy efficiency for high-volume manufacturing environments demanding rapid changeover capabilities and consistent part quality.
