Muratec Introduces MW120G Automated CNC Turning Center

Muratec's MW120G is designed for medium- to high-volume production in the automotive industry and contract manufacturing while maintaining the flexibility to compete in the manufacturing of smaller lot sizes, the company said.

"This automated CNC turning center features twin horizontal spindles and two independent turrets with eight tool stations in the standard configuration," said a spokesperson. "The MW120G provides the ability to produce higher accuracy and higher part finishes at a lower part cost and in minimal space.

"The MW120G provides a split bed construction to eliminate transfer of vibrations from one spindle to the other when necessary. With a large diameter turret bar and three-piece turret coupling, rigidity of the machine is increased. The spindle bearings allow for ultra-high accuracy on the workpiece.

"The compact machine is designed for continuous automatic unattended production and offers an accessible, operator-friendly design for safe, fast workpiece setup. MW120G owners can expect reduced total process time, reduced work-in-process inventory, reduced labor, setup and tooling costs.

"Automatic work location sensors, special automated part workflow and handling and a variety of other options are available to configure the turning center for specific applications. Work feeders, post-process gauging, auto tool shift function expand the capabilities of the MW120G. Customers have the advantage of Muratec's wealth of experience in the design and implementation of customized turnkey systems.

"The MW120G is just one of the machines in the MW/MS family of Muratec turning centers. From the extremely quick MW100GT (6-inch chuck) to the large capacity MW400 (15-inch chuck), Muratec offers an automated solution for your turning requirements."
