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 alongside 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 targets 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 (1,969 ipm) 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 interrupted cuts in cast iron and steel. 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 approximately 8,200 kg (18,078 lb), it is a solid, compact HMC that fits well in production cells. The B-axis indexes in 1-degree increments through a full 360 degrees for multi-sided machining. The G-Tech 31i control interface (FANUC 31i-B5 based) provides the same touchscreen experience found across the Matsuura lineup.
The H.Plus-405 competes with the Mazak HCN-4000, Okuma MA-400HA, and Makino a51nx. New pricing runs $300,000-$450,000 for a standard 2-pallet configuration.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Box-way construction on all axes provides excellent rigidity for heavy interrupted cuts in cast iron and steel
- 1.0-second tool-to-tool change and 8-second pallet change minimize non-cutting time in production
- Scalable from 2-pallet machine to multi-pallet LPP cell without replacing the machine
- Thermal Displacement Control maintains accuracy through extended production runs
- Compact 3.5 x 3.2 m footprint fits into existing HMC production lines
- G-Tech 31i touchscreen interface is consistent across Matsuura's entire machine lineup
Limitations
- BT40 spindle limits heavy roughing compared to BT50-equipped 400-class HMCs from Mazak and Okuma
- 40-tool standard magazine is tight for complex parts — the 90-tool upgrade is often necessary
- 12,000 RPM max spindle speed is average and falls short of 15,000+ RPM competitors for aluminum
- 400 kg table load is adequate but not exceptional for shops running heavy tombstone fixtures

Frequently Asked Questions
01
New 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.
02
The HCN-4000 is the volume leader in this size class with wider spindle options (including BT50 and up to 20,000 RPM), larger tool magazines (up to 330 tools), and Mazak PALLETECH automation. The H.Plus-405 counters with box-way rigidity, faster tool changes, and the G-Tech interface.
03
Yes. The B-axis indexes in 1-degree increments through 360 degrees, enabling 4+1 positioning for multi-sided machining. Combined with tombstone fixturing and the 2-pallet changer, you can machine 4-8 parts per cycle.
04
The H.Plus-630 uses a 630 mm pallet (vs 400 mm), offers larger travels, higher table load, and BT50 spindle options. Choose the H.Plus-405 for smaller parts where the compact footprint and faster cycle times matter.
