How much does the Matec 30PP | 40PP cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Matec 30PP | 40PP that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The Matec 30PP | 40PP is MATEC's stationary gantry machine with a pallet changer. The moving table of the PT machines becomes a pallet 2,000 to 5,000 mm long and 2,000 to 3,000 mm wide (78.7 to 118.1 in), so one part can be set up outside the work area while another is being cut.
MATEC calls the pallet changer the core element of the PP series and ties its case to large parts, where setting up or reclamping during production saves the most time. Two additional pallet stations are optional. With long-running workpieces, MATEC says, that allows multi-shift production with a considerably reduced workforce.
Pallet load is 4,000 kg (8,818 lb), depending on table size and drive system, which has to cover fixture and part together. The head on this version is the 2-axis fork head: 250 mm (9.8 in) swivel radius, ±180° in C and ±105° in A. Travels are 3,750 to 6,750 mm in X, 3,400 or 4,400 mm in Y and 1,500 to 2,100 mm in Z.
The spindle list reads 10,000, 15,000 or 24,000 rpm with maxima of 96 kW (128.7 hp) and 690 Nm (509 lb-ft). Tool weight is 20 kg (44 lb) and length 450 mm (17.7 in). For unattended running, the magazine can be extended to a maximum of 680 tool places and an automatic head change is available; MATEC also mentions monitoring systems for safe production.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Pallet changer allows setup and reclamping while the machine is cutting
- Two additional pallet stations available as an option
- Pallets from 2,000 to 5,000 mm (78.7 to 196.9 in) long
- Tool magazine extendable to a maximum of 680 places for long unattended runs
- Spindle speeds up to 24,000 rpm
Limitations
- Pallet load of 4,000 kg (8,818 lb) must cover the fixture as well as the part
- The fork head tilts ±105° in A; the universal head version is the 30PPU | 40PPU
- The pallet changer and stations add floor area that MATEC's page does not quantify
- Standard feed and rapid traverse is 30 m/min (1,181 ipm)

Frequently Asked Questions
01
MATEC's page does not describe the mechanism in detail. It states that the pallet changer is the core element of the series, that setting up or reclamping happens while the machine is in production, and that two additional pallet stations are optional. Pallets are 2,000 to 5,000 mm long and 2,000 to 3,000 mm wide.
02
The pallet load is given as 4,000 kg (8,818 lb), with the note that it depends on table size and drive system. Add the weight of fixtures and clamping to the part before comparing against that figure.
03
A 2-axis fork head with a 250 mm (9.8 in) swivel radius, ±180° of C axis rotation and ±105° in A. The 30PPU | 40PPU pairs the pallet changer with a universal head and the 30PPT | 40PPT with a torque fork head. A head magazine for four interchangeable heads is optional.
04
X is 3,750, 4,750, 5,750 or 6,750 mm, Y is 3,400 or 4,400 mm and Z is 1,500, 1,800 or 2,100 mm. Spindles run to 10,000, 15,000 or 24,000 rpm with a maximum of 96 kW (128.7 hp) and 690 Nm (509 lb-ft), in the HSK63 and HSK100 performance classes.
