Overview

The Matsuura H.Plus-405 is a 400mm-class horizontal machining center built for high-mix, high-volume production work. Positioned as the compact workhorse in Matsuura's HMC lineup below the H.Plus-630, the 405 runs a 400 mm (15.7 in) pallet with a standard 2-pallet changer and options for multi-pallet configurations through the Matsuura Linear Pallet Pool (LPP). It's aimed squarely at automotive, hydraulics, and industrial component manufacturers who need reliable horizontal machining with built-in pallet automation.

Axis travel measures 560 x 640 x 560 mm (22.0 x 25.2 x 22.0 in) on X/Y/Z. The spindle is a BT40 taper running at 12,000 RPM standard with 15/22 kW (20/30 hp) of power. A 15,000 RPM option is available, and HSK-A63 tooling can be specified for better high-speed rigidity. Rapid traverse runs at 50 m/min on all linear axes. The standard tool magazine holds 40 tools, expandable to 60 or 90 positions. Tool-to-tool change time is 1.0 seconds, and pallet change completes in 8 seconds.

The H.Plus-405 uses a box-way design on all axes for maximum rigidity and vibration damping during heavy cuts. Thermal displacement is managed through Matsuura's Thermal Displacement Control system, which compensates for spindle and structural heat in real-time. The machine ships with through-spindle coolant at 20 bar standard (70 bar optional) and a large-capacity chip conveyor. At 8,200 kg (18,078 lb), it's a solid, compact HMC that fits well in cells. The G-Tech 31i control interface provides the same touchscreen experience found across the Matsuura lineup.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Box-way construction on all axes provides excellent rigidity and vibration damping for heavy interrupted cuts in cast iron and steel
1.0-second tool-to-tool change time and 8-second pallet change minimize non-cutting time in high-volume production
Scalable from a 2-pallet machine to a multi-pallet LPP cell, growing with production demands without replacing the machine
Thermal Displacement Control system maintains accuracy through extended production runs without constant manual compensation
Compact footprint of 3.5 x 3.2 m fits into existing HMC lines without major floor plan changes
Consistent G-Tech 31i interface means operators already running Matsuura 5-axis machines can step over to the HMC without retraining

Limitations

BT40 spindle limits heavy roughing capability compared to BT50-equipped 400-class HMCs from Mazak and Okuma
Standard 40-tool magazine is tight for complex parts requiring many tools — the 90-tool upgrade should be considered mandatory
12,000 RPM max spindle speed is average for this machine class and won't match 15,000+ RPM competitors for aluminum work
Matsuura's HMC market share in North America is small compared to their 5-axis business — parts and service may be slower
400 kg table load is adequate but not exceptional for shops running heavy tombstone fixtures

Best For

Automotive Tier 1-2 suppliers running high-volume aluminum and cast iron component production Hydraulic manifold and valve body manufacturers needing 4-sided horizontal access with pallet automation Shops already running Matsuura 5-axis machines that want HMC capability on the same control platform Production cells requiring reliable 2-pallet operation with a growth path to multi-pallet LPP configuration Precision industrial component manufacturers running medium-to-large batch quantities in mixed materials

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a Matsuura H.Plus-405 cost?

New H.Plus-405 pricing typically ranges from $300,000 to $450,000 for a standard 2-pallet configuration. Adding the Linear Pallet Pool for multi-pallet automation can push the total cell cost past $600,000. The used market for these is limited in North America since Matsuura's HMC installed base is smaller than their 5-axis footprint.

02 How does the H.Plus-405 compare to the Mazak HCN-4000?

The HCN-4000 is the volume leader in this size class. It offers a wider range of spindle options including BT50 and HSK-A63 at higher speeds (up to 20,000 RPM), a larger tool magazine (up to 330 tools), and Mazak's extensive PALLETECH automation system. The Matsuura H.Plus-405 counters with box-way rigidity, faster tool changes, and the G-Tech interface. Mazak wins on service network and options variety; Matsuura wins on cutting rigidity and simplicity.

03 Can the H.Plus-405 do 4+1 axis positioning?

Yes. The B-axis indexes in 1-degree increments through a full 360 degrees, enabling 4+1 positioning for multi-sided machining. Combined with the 2-pallet changer and tombstone fixturing, you can machine 4-8 parts per cycle with minimal operator intervention. For true simultaneous 4-axis contouring, the control supports it but you'll need CAM software that outputs the appropriate G-code.
