MURATEC ML CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC turning center is a compact precision machine designed for automated production of small to medium-sized cylindrical parts. It accommodates workpieces up to 7.87 inches in diameter and 15.75 inches in length, with a maximum swing of 13.39 inches supporting both 6-inch and 8-inch chuck configurations. The machine features a six-position turret for efficient tool management, enabling rapid tool changes to optimize production cycles. The X, Z, and Quill axes deliver impressive rapid traverse rates of 787.40, 1260.83, and 787.40 inches per minute respectively, facilitating quick positioning between cuts. With spindle speeds ranging from 45 to 4500 RPM, the machine accommodates diverse materials and cutting requirements, from thread-cutting operations at low speeds to high-speed finishing passes. The turret accepts standard 0.79-inch tool shanks and boring bars up to 1.26 inches in diameter, providing versatility for various turning and boring operations. Controlled by a Fanuc CNC system, the machine ensures reliable, repeatable precision machining. The integrated loader mechanism handles parts weighing up to 22.05 pounds, enabling unmanned production runs and increased throughput. The machine itself weighs 9920.63 pounds with the loader and gantry system, requiring a floor space of approximately 128.35 inches wide by 64.96 inches deep, with an overall height of 129.92 inches. This configuration makes it suitable for job shops and production facilities requiring flexible, automated turning capabilities.
