MURATEC MW180 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

The 10-inch hydraulic power lathe chuck represents a precision workholding solution engineered for high-performance CNC machining operations. With a 254mm (10-inch) diameter body, this chuck delivers substantial gripping capacity suitable for large workpiece applications while maintaining exceptional runout accuracy within .001 inches. The three-jaw self-centering design automatically aligns workpieces, simplifying setup procedures and ensuring consistent positioning for demanding machining tasks. Powered by a 20.1 hp hydraulic drive system, the chuck generates substantial clamping force capable of handling heavy loads without compromising precision. The CNC control integration enables automated jaw actuation and repeatable gripping performance essential for multi-part production environments. Operating at a maximum 3,500 RPM, this specification suits both high-speed finishing operations and heavy-duty roughing applications. Constructed from high-alloy steel with a robust plain-back mounting configuration, the chuck exhibits superior durability and resistance to wear under demanding industrial conditions. The hydraulic power delivery system provides smooth, consistent clamping force across all jaw positions, eliminating manual adjustment variability. Featured components include precision-ground jaws with serrated interfaces optimizing grip security, a through-hole design accommodating bar stock and threaded applications, and compatibility with CNC machine tool control systems. The chuck arrives equipped with mounting bolts, soft-top jaws, and draw nut wrench accessories. Ideal applications include CNC turning centers, multi-task machining operations, and automated production systems requiring reliable workpiece retention and rapid jaw actuation cycles. The combination of substantial gripping force, precision engineering, and CNC-ready architecture makes this chuck suitable for aerospace, automotive, and precision manufacturing sectors demanding exacting dimensional tolerances.
