With a design based on automation at its core, Muratec’s MWR120 series is a first-of-its-kind, front-facing, horizontal twin spindle CNC live tool chucker lathe equipped with Y-axis function. Key features of the MWR120 series include Y-axis stroke of +/- 60mm, direct drive with no gearboxes for less power loss, and 8,000 rpm live tooling in all stations. The built-in gantry automation is also available with a choice of single or dual gantries, depending on processing needs. The MWR120 enables work processing with complex shapes by incorporating Y-axis and live tooling function. This combination accelerates its extreme multitasking of complex shapes from raw to finished parts without changeovers or the need for secondary operations.
