Machine Comparison
Matsuura H.Plus-630 vs Okuma MA-12500H
Matsuura vs Okuma · Horizontal Machining Centers
Summary
The Matsuura H.Plus-630 and the Okuma MA-12500H are both 50-taper horizontal machining centers, but the makers publish few comparable figures for this pair: the table has pallet size, spindle taper and rapid traverse. The pallet row shows they belong to different size classes, 630 x 630 mm (24.8 x 24.8 in) on the Matsuura against 1,250 × 1,250 mm (49.21 × 49.21 in) on the Okuma.
The Okuma's much larger pallet suits large housings, casings and structural parts. The Matsuura is the faster machine in rapid traverse, at 50 m/min (1,968 ipm) on all axes against 42 m/min (1,654 ipm), and fits medium-to-large production parts. Tapers are BT50 Big Plus on the Matsuura and No. 50 on the Okuma.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | Matsuura H.Plus-630 | Okuma MA-12500H |
|---|---|---|
| Pallet Size | 630 x 630 mm (24.8 x 24.8 in) | 1,250 × 1,250 mm (49.21 × 49.21 in) |
| Spindle Taper / Nose | BT50 Big Plus | No. 50 |
| Rapid Traverse | 50 m/min (1,968 ipm) all axes ▲ | 42 m/min (1,654 ipm) |
Advantages
Matsuura H.Plus-630
- 50 m/min (1,968 ipm) rapid traverse on all axes against 42 m/min (1,654 ipm)
- 630 x 630 mm pallet sized for medium-to-large production parts such as cylinder heads and transmission cases
- Suited to unattended production cells with multi-pallet automation
Okuma MA-12500H
- 1,250 × 1,250 mm (49.21 × 49.21 in) pallet against 630 x 630 mm (24.8 x 24.8 in)
- Sized for large gear housings, turbine casings, machine bases and structural weldments
- A pallet-changing alternative to a floor-type boring mill for large-part production
Verdict
These machines serve different jobs. The Matsuura H.Plus-630 suits production shops running medium-to-large steel and cast iron parts on 630 x 630 mm pallets, where its 50 m/min (1,968 ipm) rapids shorten the moves between cuts. The Okuma MA-12500H is for large housings, casings and heavy structural parts that need a 1,250 × 1,250 mm pallet, and for shops replacing floor-type boring mills. Part size decides it.
