Mill-turn centre machines six faces
A mill-turn centre differs considerably from similar products from some lathe suppliers in that it is a piece of prismatic metalcutting equipment, which has been given extensive turning capabilities.
High performance machining centre cuts 'dry'
The latest new addition to the Stama range is the MC 326, a compact machine available in single- and twin-spindle formats and offers high performance machining in dry cutting conditions.
Flexibility, reliability, high volume production and quality are standard features of all Muratec Murata products - making them a firm favourite with high volume component makers the world over, and it may surprise you to learn that not all the customers for Muratec Murata products make solely round components.
The capabilities and sheer flexibility of these outstanding machine tools are such that many users choose to throw some pretty unusual jobs at them - unusual for a lathe at any rate.
Both forward facing spindles are fitted with a 210mm chuck, and are driven by 7.5kW motors to a maximum speed of 4,500rpm.
An 11kW spindle drive is available as an option.
There are two eight station turrets (12 option) and each of the integrated robot loaders - one for each spindle - feature a dual gripper and a swivel head that can accommodate a wide array of component sizes and shapes.
Each unit accommodates two parts (blank and machined component) up to 120mm in diameter x 80mm long and weighing up to 3kg.
The traverse speeds are 150m/min left and right, 110m/min up and down and 35m/min forward and backwards.
These outstanding machines have been designed to provide maximum flexibility of operation by working as separate machines or with transfer between chucks for first and second operations.
Muratec Murata are an established world leader not only for cost effective, high volume turning machines but also for full automation and long periods of unmanned running.
Muratec Murata products are supplied and fully supported in the UK and Eire by Matsuura Machinery PLC; with service, applications and training support functions all being undertaken by Muratec Murata trained Matsuura Service Engineers.
