Southern Manufacturing 2018: Muratec Murata MT200 turning centre and Matsuura MX-520 5 axis machine

At the forthcoming Southern Manufacturing 2018 (6th to 8th February 2018 at the Farnborough International Venue and Events (FIVE) in Farnborough, UK), Matsuura Machinery Ltd will be exhibiting the Muratec Murata MT200 turning centre and the single table entry level Matsuura MX-520 5 axis machine.

The Muratec Murata MT200 twin spindle turning machines, with three turrets and optional gantry loader, have proven to be an excellent choice for UK facilities running complex parts and various part types through one machine.



The optional 3 axis CNC gantry loader provides a multitude of options when it comes to automation, and when combined with a bar feeder, the choice of processing part types is endless. Although the show machine is not configured with gantry, this is a retrofit item depending on customers’ requirements.

All configurations of the MT200 can accommodate both bar, billet or chuck loaded operations. With flexible upper and lower turrets, all tool stations are live and possess Y axes.

For customers looking to make the transition from 3 to 5 axis operations, the Matsuura MX-520 show machine will be configured with a MAXIA 20,000RPM Spindle, 60 tools and a standard Ø300mm table with optional side tables for maximum operational flexibility and production.
