Matsuura CUBLEX-63

The Matsuura CUBLEX-63 is the larger sibling in the CUBLEX multi-tasking 5-axis family, handling workpieces up to 630 mm (24.8 in) diameter with integrated mill-turn capability and multi-pallet automation. Where the CUBLEX-35 targets small precision parts, the 63 steps up to medium-to-large aerospace structural components, turbine housings, and complex industrial parts that require both milling and turning operations in automated production.

The tilting spindle head configuration provides access from virtually any angle, with B-axis tilt range and full 360-degree C-axis rotation. The C-axis doubles as a turning spindle at speeds up to 800 RPM via direct-drive motor, enabling OD turning, boring, threading, and facing on parts up to 630 mm diameter. The milling spindle runs a BT50 taper at 10,000 RPM standard with 22/30 kW (30/40 hp), delivering the cutting authority needed for steel and titanium at this part size.

Axis travel measures approximately 730 x 600 x 600 mm (28.7 x 23.6 x 23.6 in) on X/Y/Z. The integrated pallet stocker holds up to 16 pallets at the 630 mm diameter, each rated for 300 kg (661 lb). The tool magazine starts at 60 tools and scales to 200+ through matrix magazine options. The G-Tech 31i control manages both milling and turning modes, and CAMplete TruePath with mill-turn simulation comes standard.

The CUBLEX-63 weighs approximately 22,000 kg (48,500 lb) with a cell footprint of roughly 4,800 x 5,200 mm including the pallet stocker. It occupies a unique market position: larger than most multi-tasking machines, with pallet automation that mill-turn competitors from DMG Mori, Mazak, and Okuma typically cannot match. For shops producing large, complex parts that combine 5-axis milling with turning operations at production volumes, the CUBLEX-63 eliminates the need for separate milling and turning cells.
