MURATA MACHINERY USA plans the North American premiere of its MT1065EX twin-spindle turning center at the Precision Machining Technology Show (PMTS) 2025, booth 3073, April 1-3 in Cleveland, Ohio. Engineered to offer turning speed, accuracy, and versatility, the developer claims the MT1065EX will “redefine bar-fed machining applications with its advanced twin-spindle, CNC turning capabilities.”
The MT1065EX features two spindles and two live-tool turrets, with Y-axis functionality in the upper turret for enhanced versatility. It accommodates 6 or 8-inch chucks powered by an 18.5-kW left spindle motor and a 15-kW right spindle motor, ensuring robust performance across demanding applications.
Each turret offers 12 tool stations with 24 index positions, allowing independent machining operations or synchronized pinch-turning and milling. The MT1065EX's compact design optimizes floor space while delivering superior machining capabilities.
“The MT1065EX represents the next evolution in CNC turning technology,” stated Jeff Kalmbach, general manager of Muratec’s Machine Tools Division. “This machine’s combination of dual spindles, live-tool turrets, and advanced thermal compensation provides unmatched accuracy and operational flexibility, making it an ideal solution for both high-volume and high-mix, low-volume production environments.”
Other details of the new turning center are:
- Thermal compensation system: Equipped with 11 strategically placed sensors, the MT1065EX maintains long-term stability and accuracy during extended operations.
- Versatile axis configuration: Both turrets can access either spindle, enhancing operational flexibility.
- Cutting-edge software: Simplifies programming, optimizes tooling paths, and reduces material waste while integrating production scheduling and real-time monitoring.
- Compact, flexible design: Configurable chip conveyor supports right-side or rear discharge for seamless shop integration.
“Manufacturers today demand more than just speed and precision—they need solutions that optimize every aspect of their operations,” according to Kalmbach. “The MT1065EX does exactly that, helping shops reduce cycle times, minimize waste, and boost overall productivity.”
