2016 Muratec MW-120 Twin Spindle CNC Lathe

The 2016 Muratec MW-120 Twin Spindle CNC Lathe is a compact, high-throughput production machine engineered for full automation and consistent precision. Each of its twin spindles carries an 8-inch three-jaw chuck capable of handling parts up to 4.7 inches in diameter and 3.1 inches in turning length, making it ideal for small-to-medium part batches in automotive and precision manufacturing. With a Fanuc 31iTB control and twin eight-station turrets, the MW-120 performs simultaneous machining on both spindles, effectively cutting cycle times in half. The 14.75-horsepower spindle drives at 6000 RPM with smooth torque delivery for rapid metal removal.

Compared with conventional single-spindle lathes, the MW-120 excels in automation readiness and productivity. Its integrated overhead gantry system with a 14-pallet feeder table allows continuous unattended operation. The synchronized X and Z-axis movements, both capable of 945 IPM rapid traverses, minimize idle motion between cuts. LNS chip conveyor and tooling integration ensure minimal operator intervention, making this lathe a superior choice for lights-out manufacturing.
