Murata's New Gantry Loaded, Single Spindle CNC Turning Center Offers User-Friendly, Effortless Operation for Your Shop

Murata Machinery USA (Muratec) announced the North American launch of its groundbreaking MSR60 -- a powerhouse single-spindle CNC turning center with Y-axis milling capabilities for multitasking machining -- at IMTS 2024.

With a directly coupled 8,000 rpm live tool spindle motor, this machine is engineered to reliably deliver high-speed precision, a compact footprint, and maximum productivity through integrated built-in gantry loader automation.

The MSR60's compact design and advanced automation capabilities allow for a space-saving layout that maximizes productivity per unit of floor space. Because it integrates milling and turning, this machine is ideal for high-mix, low-volume production environments.

Like its "big sister," MWR120, a first-of-its-kind, front-facing horizontal twin spindle turning center, the MSR60 introduces Y-axis and milling capabilities previously unavailable on a single-spindle machine.

With its automation at its core-based design, the MSR60 is a CNC turning center with front-facing 6-inch/8-inch chucks equipped with a Y-axis. It has a single 10-station turret, an X-axis stroke of 240 mm, a Y-axis stroke of ±60 mm, a Z-axis stroke of 200 mm, and a maximum spindle speed of 6,000 revolutions per minute.

The MSR60's width is 1,555 mm, and its depth is 2,350 mm, half the size of the MWR120, but it has twice the range of motion or stroke typical for a turning machine its size.

"The MSR60 enhances Muratec's overall single-spindle lineup, combining powerful processing capabilities within a compact design tailored for job shops just starting their automation journey," said Jeff Kalmbach, General Manager, Machine Tools Division, Murata Machinery USA.

"With the introduction of milling and Y-axis functionalities previously unavailable on a single spindle turning machine, the MSR60 enables extreme multitasking, creating complex shapes from raw materials to finished products without the need for changeovers. This innovation addresses the industry's near-constant labor shortage and eliminates the necessity for secondary operations, streamlining production and boosting efficiency."
