Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from Matsuura. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Matsuura CUBLEX-35 is a 5-axis machining center that can also turn. Its C-axis is a direct-drive axis with continuous 360° rotation that spins at up to 1,500 RPM, so turned diameters and milled features can be cut without moving the part to a lathe. Travels are 550 mm (21.6 in) in X, 440 mm (17.3 in) in Y and 580 mm (22.8 in) in Z, and the table is 350 mm (13.8 in) across, with a maximum workpiece of Ø 350 × H 315 mm (Ø 13.77 × H 12.40 in).

Matsuura's MAM72-35V has exactly the same three travels, which makes it the natural point of comparison. The CUBLEX-35 adds the turning capability and starts with a larger tool store: 60 tools as standard, where the MAM72-35V carries 40 as standard. For storage beyond that, the CUBLEX-35 lists up to 200+ tools as an option and the MAM72-35V is expandable to 240.

The standard spindle runs to 12,000 rpm, with 15,000 rpm and 20,000 rpm spindles available as options. Two rows of the table do not agree on the toolholder interface: the speed row describes all three spindles as HSK-A63W (ICTM), while the taper row gives BT40 with HSK-A63 as the option. Settle which interface is fitted, and with which spindle, before tooling is ordered.

The table gives no spindle power or torque and no rapid traverse rate for this model. On a machine expected to turn as well as mill, power decides how deep a turning pass can be, so ask for the spindle and C-axis drive ratings if heavy stock removal is part of the plan. The larger CUBLEX-63 is the step up for bigger parts, with 760 mm (29.9 in) of X, 845 mm (33.3 in) of Y, 660 mm (26.0 in) of Z and a BT50 spindle as standard.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

C-axis turns continuously through 360° on a direct drive at up to 1,500 RPM, so turning and 5-axis milling can share one setup
60 tools as standard, 20 more than the 40 of the MAM72-35V, with up to 200+ listed as an option
12,000 rpm standard spindle, with 15,000 rpm and 20,000 rpm spindles offered as options
550 × 440 × 580 mm (21.6 × 17.3 × 22.8 in) of travel over a 350 mm (13.8 in) table

Limitations

Parts are limited to Ø 350 × H 315 mm (Ø 13.77 × H 12.40 in), the diameter of the table
Turning speed tops out at 1,500 RPM, which limits surface speed on small turned diameters
No spindle power, torque or rapid traverse figure is listed, so cutting capacity cannot be judged from the table
The speed row lists HSK-A63W (ICTM) spindles while the taper row gives BT40 as standard, so the interface needs confirming

Best For

Round parts up to Ø 350 mm that need turned and milled features in one clamping Small 5-axis work that runs through many tools, with 60 as standard Finishing small features with the optional 20,000 rpm spindle

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the CUBLEX-35 differ from the MAM72-35V?

Both have 550 mm (21.6 in) of X, 440 mm (17.3 in) of Y and 580 mm (22.8 in) of Z. The CUBLEX-35 adds turning, with a direct-drive C-axis that runs at up to 1,500 RPM, and carries 60 tools as standard against 40 on the MAM72-35V. The MAM72-35V lists a 22 kW (30 hp) spindle; no power figure is given for the CUBLEX-35.

02 What is the largest part the CUBLEX-35 can take?

The listed maximum workpiece is Ø 350 × H 315 mm (Ø 13.77 × H 12.40 in), which matches the 350 mm (13.8 in) table diameter. A part that size uses the whole table, so fixturing has to stay inside the same circle, and the height limit includes whatever the fixture adds under the part.

03 Can the CUBLEX-35 turn parts as well as mill them?

Yes. The C-axis is a direct drive with continuous 360° rotation and a turning speed of up to 1,500 RPM. That covers facing, boring and turning diameters on parts that fit the Ø 350 mm envelope; on very small diameters the 1,500 RPM ceiling keeps surface speed low.

04 Which spindles and tapers are offered on the CUBLEX-35?

A 12,000 rpm spindle is standard; 15,000 rpm and 20,000 rpm spindles are options. The speed row describes these spindles with an HSK-A63W (ICTM) interface, while the taper row lists BT40 as standard with HSK-A63 optional, so confirm the interface for the spindle being quoted.

05 How many tools does the CUBLEX-35 hold?

60 as standard, with storage for up to 200+ tools listed as an option. The larger CUBLEX-63 has the same 60-tool standard and a matrix magazine for up to 200+, so moving up a size changes the envelope and taper rather than the tool count.
