That’s what happens when you turn two machines into one and let it run lights out!

Simon Higgs of Matsuura Machinery explains how DP Engineering scaled from one operator running two spindles to now running six spindles—all in under two years.

At the heart of it? Muratec’s automated turning centres, equipped with high-speed gantry loaders that maximise output and minimise floor space. Designed for flexibility, they’re no longer just for high-volume OEMs—subcontractors are embracing Muratec to stay lean, efficient, and competitive.

These machines are freeing up operators and extending production far beyond the standard shift. Think faster loading, smarter workflows, more hours, and less labour!

Tune in with Lyndsey Vickers of MTDCNC to learn how automation like this can reduce costs, allow you to run through the nights, and keep you from falling behind.
