One of the challenges in manufacturing large parts is handling the workpiece through the process. Operators are at risk of injury in loading and unloading large heavy parts in production. Furthermore, if the turned part requires secondary work, such as mount holes or milling work, the part has to be handled additionally outside of the lathe to finish the workpiece. This is costly and inefficient to companies.

MW300GWMC |
Murata Machinery, known for its expertise in automated turning, provides a great solution for large, turned parts that require secondary "live tool" work.
One option to the standard Murata MW300 series is the "W" spec version of this machine. We offer the MW300GWMC dual spindle machine for this task. This machine is the largest automated turning machine with live tools that Murata makes, and is capable of completing 350 mm diameter parts that require work on both sides.

Gantry Arm |
This machine comes equipped with two 40 HP powered spindles to handle any tough turning requirements. But the machine gantry is heavy duty and is equipped to handle two 40 lb. parts with a max. dia. of 350 mm. That's a lot of flexibility to manufacture an assortment of turned parts that require secondary work.
To accomplish this, the standard MW300G was re-engineered with wider shutter doors for the gantry, specially extended front covers and doors, as well as larger Fanuc spindle motors and controller to handle the extra material handling and power requirements for larger parts.
Each of the turrets are equipped with 15 stations for plenty of tool redundancy and allows live drill diameters of 1" in mild steel.
So, if you are concerned about operators loading large parts into your lathe and machining center cells, consider Murata's automated MW300GWMC machine for the task.
