Machine Comparison
Matsuura MAM72 vs Matsuura MAM72-35V
Matsuura vs Matsuura · 5-Axis Machining Centers
Summary
The Matsuura MAM72 and the Matsuura MAM72-35V are both five-axis machines from Matsuura's MAM72 line, aimed at multi-pallet unattended production, but the makers publish few comparable figures for this pair: the table has only spindle power and spindle taper.
Those two rows separate them clearly. The MAM72-35V has twice the spindle power, 22 kW (30 hp) against 11 kW (14.7 hp) standard on the MAM72, and uses an HSK-A63 spindle taper where the MAM72 uses BT 40. The MAM72 is aimed at high volumes of small implants, instruments and precision parts; the MAM72-35V at families of small structural components such as brackets, fittings, manifolds and actuator parts run across multiple setups.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | Matsuura MAM72 | Matsuura MAM72-35V |
|---|---|---|
| Spindle Power | 11 kW (14.7 hp) standard | 22 kW (30 hp) ▲ |
| Spindle Taper / Nose | BT 40 | HSK-A63 |
Advantages
Matsuura MAM72
- BT 40 spindle taper, for shops already standardized on BT 40-taper holders
- Aimed at high-volume unattended runs of small implants, instruments and precision parts
Matsuura MAM72-35V
- 22 kW (30 hp) spindle power against 11 kW (14.7 hp) standard
- HSK-A63 spindle taper for shops working with HSK holders
- Suited to high-mix families of brackets, fittings and manifolds across multiple setups
Verdict
With only two rows to go on, the decision rests on spindle power and tooling. Choose the Matsuura MAM72-35V for structural parts and heavier cuts that call for 22 kW (30 hp) at the spindle, and for shops working with HSK-A63 holders. Choose the Matsuura MAM72 for long unattended runs of small implants and instrument parts, where light cuts suit its 11 kW (14.7 hp) spindle and BT 40 tooling fits the existing tool crib.
