Overview

The Muratec MW200 is a CNC Swiss-type automatic lathe with 20mm bar capacity, controlled by the Fanuc 32i CNC system. The 20mm Swiss-type class represents one of the most commercially active segments of the Swiss-type market, covering a wide range of industrial precision parts across medical, automotive, aerospace, and hydraulic applications — shaft diameters, fitting bodies, valve spools, and connector housings at the 6–20mm range are among the most common precision turned parts worldwide. The MW200 brings Muratec's sliding headstock design to this core market segment with Fanuc 32i control that delivers programming familiarity for operators transitioning from other CNC turning platforms.

Fanuc 32i control on the MW200 is a significant differentiator in a segment where some competitors use proprietary CNC systems that require retraining. The 32i's multi-axis control capability, familiar G-code programming environment, and extensive field support infrastructure means shops can program the MW200 with existing CNC knowledge, access a deep pool of service technicians, and leverage widely available programming tools and post-processors. For production shops running mixed fleets, Fanuc standardization reduces the total cost of training and maintenance.

The MW200's machine architecture follows proven Swiss-type principles: a precision guide bushing maintains part support at the cutting zone regardless of workpiece length, enabling slender parts up to 20mm diameter to be machined with the rigidity of much shorter workpieces. The driven tooling complement covers axial and radial milling, drilling, and tapping positions for both the main and back spindle, enabling complete multi-feature parts to be produced in a single continuous operation from bar stock.

Muratec's reputation in the Japanese precision machine tool industry — built on decades of multi-spindle and Swiss-type expertise — translates to MW200 designs that balance rigidity, thermal stability, and productive driven tool power. The result is a 20mm Swiss platform well-suited for high-volume production of medical fasteners, hydraulic fittings, automotive fuel system components, and industrial connector bodies in stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, and brass.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What CNC control does the Muratec MW200 use?

The Muratec MW200 uses the Fanuc 32i CNC system. This is one of the most widely used and supported CNC controls in precision machining, providing G-code programming compatibility, multi-axis simultaneous control, and access to an extensive field service and support network.

02 What is the maximum bar capacity of the Muratec MW200?

The MW200 accepts bar stock up to 20mm in diameter. This covers the core commercial range of Swiss-type turned parts across medical, automotive, hydraulic, and electronics applications.

03 How many axes does the Muratec MW200 control simultaneously?

The MW200 features 7-axis simultaneous CNC control, enabling true parallel operation of the main spindle and back spindle with driven tool axes. This allows front and back machining to proceed simultaneously, reducing cycle time on complex multi-feature parts.

04 Does the MW200 have a guide bushing?

Yes, the Muratec MW200 uses a precision Swiss-type guide bushing that supports the workpiece immediately at the cutting zone. This is fundamental to the Swiss-type architecture and is what enables slender small-diameter parts to be machined with exceptional rigidity and dimensional consistency.

05 What industries commonly use the Muratec MW200?

The MW200 is used primarily in medical device manufacturing (orthopedic screws, implant components), automotive precision parts (fuel system, transmission, ABS), hydraulic and fluid power (valve bodies, fittings), and electronics (connector housings, sensor components). Its 20mm capacity covers the core of all these application areas.
