MURATEC MW120GII CNC LATHES

Technical Description

The 3-Axis CNC Lathe is a versatile computerized machining system featuring three linear axes (X, Y, and Z) that enable precision turning and milling operations. The machine incorporates an 8-inch chuck capable of securely holding workpieces up to the specified diameter, providing reliable workholding for medium-sized components. With a robust 14.75 horsepower spindle motor, this lathe delivers substantial cutting power suitable for demanding production environments and heavy stock removal operations. The spindle reaches a maximum speed of 4,500 RPM, accommodating a wide range of materials and cutting conditions from soft non-ferrous metals to harder ferrous alloys. The CNC control system enables automated, repeatable precision machining with programmed tool paths, eliminating manual intervention and ensuring consistent part quality across production runs. The three-axis configuration allows the machine to perform complex turning operations on the X and Z axes while the Y-axis facilitates off-center milling capabilities, expanding machining versatility beyond traditional two-axis lathes. This combination makes the machine ideal for producing components requiring multiple features and complex geometries in a single setup. The integration of CNC automation, adequate spindle power, and multi-axis capability positions this lathe as a practical solution for job shops, contract manufacturers, and production facilities seeking efficiency and precision in turning operations.
