2021 MURATA MW120GT CNC LATHES

Technical Description

The Muratec MW120GT is the twin-loader version of the MW120 twin-spindle CNC chucker built by Murata Machinery for high-volume turning of chucked parts. Two identical spindles sit side by side, each served by its own turret, and two gantry loaders handle parts for the two spindles. The machine can run the same operation on both spindles or split first and second operations between them. Standard chuck size is 6 inches (165 mm), with an 8 inch (210 mm) chuck available as an option, and the spindle nose is JIS A2-5. Each turret carries 8 tools as standard (16 in total), with 12 per turret (24 in total) available as an option on the twin-loader model. Maximum spindle speed is 3,000, 4,000 or 6,000 rpm depending on the spindle specification; the 6,000 rpm spindle is offered with the 7.5 kW motor only. Each spindle is driven by a 7.5 kW (30 min) AC motor as standard, with an 11 kW (30 min) motor as an option. Gross weight with the two loaders is 4,610 kg (10,163 lb). Chips fall directly away from the cutting zone, and a full range of options supports unattended production.
