MURATEC MD120 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This 2-axis CNC lathe is engineered for precision turning operations, featuring a robust 8-inch chuck for secure workpiece holding and a powerful 14.75 hp spindle motor that delivers high torque for demanding machining tasks. The spindle achieves a maximum speed of 4,500 RPM, enabling efficient material removal and fine surface finishes across a wide range of metals and alloys. The machine’s 2-axis configuration (X and Z) provides accurate linear movement for turning, facing, and profiling operations, making it ideal for producing simple to moderately complex cylindrical parts. Equipped with live tooling capability, the lathe supports secondary operations such as drilling, tapping, and milling without requiring part repositioning, enhancing productivity and versatility. The CNC control system ensures precise programming and repeatability, supporting ISO-standard G-code for seamless integration into modern manufacturing environments. The control interface allows for manual input and offers advanced features such as programmable spindle speeds and rapid traverse for optimized cycle times. The machine’s rigid construction, precision-ground ball screws, and high-quality linear guides guarantee excellent positioning accuracy and long-term reliability. Designed for both prototyping and high-volume production, this CNC lathe combines performance, flexibility, and ease of use in a compact footprint, making it a valuable asset for shops requiring efficient and accurate turning solutions.
