MURATEC MD200 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This 2-axis CNC lathe features a 10-inch chuck size, delivering robust holding capacity for medium-sized workpieces. Powered by a 29.5 hp motor, it achieves a maximum spindle speed of 3,500 RPM, enabling efficient and high-speed machining operations. The machine operates on two linear axes, X and Z, where the X-axis manages radial tool movement controlling diameter, and the Z-axis manages longitudinal movement controlling workpiece length, ideal for producing symmetrical parts. The inclusion of live tooling expands its versatility by allowing secondary milling and drilling operations without requiring workpiece removal, enhancing productivity and reducing setup times. The lathe's CNC control system provides precise programming and automation, supporting complex machining cycles with repeatability and accuracy essential for high-quality part production. This configuration is well-suited for turning operations requiring moderate power and speed, capable of handling diverse materials with stability and precision. Its design supports efficient chip removal and tooling changes, optimizing cycle times in manufacturing environments. Overall, this 2-axis CNC lathe combines substantial spindle power with moderate rotational speed and live tooling capabilities, making it effective for medium-complexity lathe jobs including turning, drilling, and milling tasks within an automated workflow framework.
