Machine Comparison
DMG Mori CMX 50 U vs Matsuura MAM72
DMG Mori vs Matsuura · 5-Axis Machining Centers
Summary
The DMG Mori CMX 50 U and the Matsuura MAM72 are both 5-axis machining centers for small parts with a 40-taper spindle, but they aim at different work. The DMG Mori CMX 50 U is suited to small 5-axis and five-sided prismatic parts finished in one clamping. The Matsuura MAM72 is built around a multi-pallet system for long unattended runs of small medical, aerospace and instrument parts.
The makers publish few comparable figures for this pair: the table has only spindle power and taper. The DMG Mori CMX 50 U has twice the spindle power, 22 kW (30 hp) against 11 kW (14.7 hp) standard on the Matsuura MAM72. The CMX 50 U takes CAT 40 or BBT 40 tooling; the MAM72 takes BT 40.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | DMG Mori CMX 50 U | Matsuura MAM72 |
|---|---|---|
| Spindle Power | 22 kW (30 hp) ▲ | 11 kW (14.7 hp) standard |
| Spindle Taper / Nose | CAT 40 / BBT 40 | BT 40 |
Advantages
DMG Mori CMX 50 U
- 22 kW (30 hp) spindle against 11 kW (14.7 hp) standard
- Suited to five-sided machining of prismatic parts in one clamping
Matsuura MAM72
- Multi-pallet system aimed at long unattended production runs
- Suited to high-mix, low-volume 5-axis work where pallets remove setup bottlenecks
Verdict
Choose the DMG Mori CMX 50 U when the work needs more spindle power, 22 kW (30 hp) against 11 kW (14.7 hp), for aluminum and light steel parts finished in one clamping. Choose the Matsuura MAM72 when spindle utilization matters more than power: high-volume medical, aerospace or instrument parts run unattended from its pallet system. With only two published rows to compare, the verdict rests on that split in purpose.
