How much does the Matsuura H.Plus-500 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a horizontal machining centers (hmc) in this class — not a quote from Matsuura Machinery. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Matsuura H.Plus-500 is a horizontal machining center with 800 mm (31.5 in) of travel on X, Y and Z and a 500 x 500 mm (19.7 x 19.7 in) pallet rated 500 kg (1,102 lb). Its part envelope of Ø 850 × H 1,050 mm (Ø 33.46 × H 41.33 in) is the largest of the 500 mm pallet machines here, and parts can overhang the pallet well beyond its edges, which suits large housings and tall tombstones.
Rapid traverse is 50 m/min (1,969 ipm), a figure the smaller H.Plus pages do not give. On a horizontal with this much travel, fast rapids shorten the non-cutting time between faces of a tombstone.
The spindle rows disagree. The speed row reads 12,000 rpm BT50 as standard with 15,000 rpm BT50 as an option, while the taper row gives BT40 with HSK-A63 optional. A BT40 machine and a BT50 machine are different purchases, with different tooling and different cutting forces, so settle which taper a quoted H.Plus-500 carries before anything else.
Through-spindle coolant is 20 bar as standard and 70 bar optional. The control is the Matsuura G-Tech 31i with a touch screen. No tool capacity, spindle power or torque is listed for this model, which leaves the magazine size and cutting capacity as questions for Matsuura.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 800 mm (31.5 in) of travel on all three axes
- Part envelope of Ø 850 × H 1,050 mm (Ø 33.46 × H 41.33 in)
- Rapid traverse of 50 m/min (1,969 ipm)
- 500 x 500 mm (19.7 x 19.7 in) pallet rated 500 kg (1,102 lb)
- Through-spindle coolant at 20 bar standard, 70 bar optional
Limitations
- The speed row lists BT50 while the taper row lists BT40, so the spindle taper must be confirmed
- No tool capacity, spindle power or torque is listed
- A 500 kg (1,102 lb) pallet load is modest for a part envelope this large
- Maximum spindle speed is 15,000 rpm even with the option

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Up to Ø 850 × H 1,050 mm (Ø 33.46 × H 41.33 in), on a 500 x 500 mm (19.7 x 19.7 in) pallet rated 500 kg (1,102 lb). Large parts overhang the pallet, so check clearance to the column and spindle head as the part turns before committing a job near the limit.
02
The table is inconsistent. The speed row lists 12,000 rpm BT50 standard and 15,000 rpm BT50 optional, but the taper row gives BT40 with HSK-A63 optional. Ask Matsuura which taper the machine you are quoted carries, because tooling and cutting capacity follow from it.
03
They share the 500 x 500 mm (19.7 x 19.7 in) pallet, the 500 kg (1,102 lb) load and the Matsuura G-Tech 31i. The H.Plus-504 has 730 mm (28.7 in) of X and Y, 800 mm (31.5 in) of Z, parts up to Ø 800 × H 1,000 mm and 40 tools standard. The H.Plus-500 has 800 mm (31.5 in) on all axes and the larger part envelope.
04
Through-spindle coolant at 20 bar as standard and 70 bar as an option, and the Matsuura G-Tech 31i control with a touch screen.
