MW50G -High Speed, Twin-Spindle
Turning Machine
By Jeff Kalmbach
Engineering & Proposals Manager
Murata Machinery has recently introduced another new CNC turning machine to its product line, the MW50 high-speed, twin-spindle turning machine.
The MW50 Series machines are super compact and ideal for high speed automated production of small parts.
MW50 Series machines use the same proven Muratec three-axis CNC servo controlled gantry technology as the other MW Series machines and are available in a single gantry (G) version or the twin gantry (GT) version. The high speed load/unload time for this machine is 4.5 seconds.
The MW50 Series machines utilize a four-station tool block which significantly reduces the idle chip-to-chip time from turret indexing. Contact Jeff Kalmbach if you would like more details about the MW50.
MW50G and GT Machine Specifications
Twin spindle, four station
7.5kW (10 Hp) spindle motors
Spindle speed: 5,000 RPM
50 mm (2") dia. x 50 mm (2") length part capacity
Gantry weight capacity - 0.5 Kg (1.1 lbs.) x 2 |
