Muratec Set to Showcase Versatile MSR60 CNC Turning Center with Milling Capabilities at IMTS 2024

North Salt Lake, US – Murata Machinery USA, Inc. (Muratec) is set to unveil the MSR60, a revolutionary single-spindle CNC turning center designed for high-speed precision, compact efficiency, and unmatched multitasking productivity. The unveiling will take place on September 10, 2024, from 12-12:30 pm CT at IMTS 2024, McCormick Place, Chicago – Muratec Booth #338844, South Hall, Level 3. It will be presented by Kenneth G Brewer, National Sales & Distribution Manager, Machine Tools Division, Murata Machinery USA (Muratec). Building on the success of the MWR120, first presented at IMTS 2022, the MSR60 introduces Y-axis and milling capabilities in a single-spindle machine for the first time.

In a focused 30-minute session, attendees will see live demonstrations of the MSR60, discuss integrated automation, and explore the latest manufacturing advancements to boost productivity—all in an interactive Q&A format. Also, a key feature is a preview of Muratec’s Gantry vs. Robot in-booth competition, which will highlight the value of built-in automation. Muratec, a global leader in machining and automation, invites stakeholders to explore innovations that enhance quality, reduce costs, and mitigate labor shortages.

At the presentation attendees will learn:

The importance of standard integrated automation to help machine shops alleviate their labor challenges.
How the MSR60’s design enhances the multitasking needs of technical operations for manufacturers of all sizes.
How Muratec’s machinery is interconnected. Like its twin spindle ‘big sister’, the MWR120, the MSR60 is designed to operate independently or seamlessly together with other machines for prolonged periods.

“Amid ongoing labor challenges, machine shops need reliable, scalable productivity fast. Muratec’s machinery offers a key advantage: interconnectivity. Each machine operates independently or in tandem, delivering versatile capabilities. At IMTS, I'll share insights on how integrated automation can maximize productivity with minimal human intervention,” explained Brewer, Muratec’s lead trade show sales contact.

Celebrating 50 years of automation innovation, Muratec will unveil the MSR60 at IMTS 2024 alongside live demonstrations of ten cutting-edge turning and fabrication machines. Visitors can also explore an Integrated Model representing our Logistics & Automation division’s automated solutions across the supply chain.
