Herker Industries has purchased a NEW Murata MD120 Twin Spindle, Live Tool, Gantry Load Machine.

Globally, the Murata MD120 is a favorite for versatility, reliability, and unsurpassed productivity. The turning center's compact design offers flexible manufacturing. It is ideal for line operation and versatile with its easy set-up change. The Murata machine features five-facing machining without rechucking. The C-axis spindle and the cross and face milling heads allow the front and four sides of a workpiece to be machined. The auto load / unload gantry provides the ability to run larger parts unattended. This permits for one operator to attend multiple automated machines. By using less labor, keeping our spindles running, and having a machine with more capabilities we improve our competitiveness.
