Media briefing: "Muratec Automation for All" will be presented by Ken Brewer and Matt Ward, open to all IMTS visitors.
- Interactive demo: Muratec's Job Shop will run interconnected machines producing custom flashlights and screwdrivers, with visitors able to load parts and operate controls.
- New machines: The LS3015MC makes its North American debut combining 8kW fiber laser cutting and secondary machining; the MW400II Twin-Spindle Turning Center and MVH600 vertical turning machine are also featured.
- Factory-level integration: The returning Muratec Integrated Model demonstrates storage, material handling, machine tools, and factory logistics working as one system.
Visitors will find the company in the South Building, Level 3, Booth 338844 — and this year, the booth itself is the product.
A working job shop on the show floor
Under the theme "Automation for All," Muratec USA aims to show manufacturers how integrated automation can improve productivity, address labor shortages, and streamline operations. Nearly a dozen machines and automation solutions will be on display.
The centerpiece is Muratec's Job Shop, a fully functioning automation manufacturing environment where interconnected machines and automation systems will produce custom Muratec flashlights and screwdrivers throughout the show. Visitors can load parts, activate controls, and operate the equipment themselves.
"What makes this experience unique is that attendees won't just watch from the aisle. They'll see how automation can be implemented on their own shop floors without the complexity often associated with automated manufacturing."
— Jeff Kalmbach, GM of Muratec USA's Machine Tools Division
Three machines worth watching
Alongside proven platforms including the MWR120, MT1065, MW35, and MS60II, Muratec will debut, introduce, and preview three new machines:
- LS3015MC (North American debut):: A first-of-its-kind platform combining 8kW fiber laser cutting and secondary machining operations in a single machine, reducing setups, material handling, and lead times.
- MW400II Twin-Spindle Turning Center:: A next-generation platform for larger workpieces featuring Muratec's proven split-bed design, enhanced rigidity, advanced thermal stability, expanded automation capabilities, and a compact footprint.
- MVH600 (preview):: An automated vertical turning machine for large-part applications, designed to reduce manual handling in demanding manufacturing environments.
"IMTS 2026 will be Muratec USA's most all-inclusive showcase to date, featuring new machine introductions, live demonstrations, and integrated automation solutions."
— Jeff Kalmbach
Integration beyond the machine tool
The Muratec Integrated Model returns to demonstrate how storage, material handling, machine tools, and factory logistics work together as a fully integrated automation system. It's a useful counterpoint to the Job Shop: one shows a single connected cell, the other the factory-level view.
"Whether supporting high-volume production or frequent changeovers, Muratec delivers automation solutions tailored to each customer's needs."
— Jeff Kalmbach
The session will cover how integrated automation can deliver measurable improvements across fabrication, turning, and machining operations. All IMTS visitors are welcome.
