MURATEC MW400G CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This 12-inch CNC-controlled three-jaw lathe chuck is engineered for high-performance machining applications, delivering robust clamping force and precision workholding. Constructed from high-quality forged steel, the chuck features a self-centering design with hardened and ground jaws for durability and repeatable accuracy. The chuck is compatible with CNC systems, enabling automated operation and seamless integration into modern manufacturing environments. With a maximum operating speed of 3,500 RPM, it supports high-speed turning operations while maintaining stability and minimizing vibration. The chuck’s large through-hole design allows for efficient bar feeding and internal machining, making it suitable for a wide range of workpiece sizes and types. The chuck is rated for use with machines up to 40.2 hp, ensuring reliable performance under heavy cutting loads. Weighing 29,101.4 lbs, this heavy-duty chuck provides exceptional rigidity and vibration damping, contributing to superior surface finishes and dimensional accuracy. The direct mounting interface (D1-8) ensures secure attachment to the lathe spindle, while the nickel-plated steel construction resists wear and corrosion. Designed for both external and internal gripping, the chuck accommodates a broad range of workholding requirements, from small-diameter parts to large bar stock. Its robust build and advanced CNC control make it ideal for demanding production environments where precision, reliability, and efficiency are critical.
