Overview

The Matsuura H.Plus-630 is a large-envelope horizontal machining center built around a 630 x 630 mm pallet, targeting medium-to-large workpiece production in automotive, aerospace, heavy equipment, and general industrial manufacturing. This machine sits alongside the existing H.Plus-630 platform but carries the H.Plus dot-notation naming convention that distinguishes the latest generation from earlier models. It delivers the heavy cutting performance and automation capability that production shops demand for multi-sided machining of large castings, housings, and structural components.

Axis travel measures 1,050 x 920 x 990 mm (41.3 x 36.2 x 39.0 in), providing an exceptionally generous work envelope for a 630 mm pallet class machine. Maximum workpiece diameter is 1,050 mm (41.3 in) with a height capacity of 1,000 mm (39.4 in). Pallet load capacity reaches 1,200 kg (2,646 lb), accommodating heavy tombstone fixtures loaded with multiple parts. The standard BT50 Big Plus spindle runs at 12,000 RPM with 30 kW (40 hp) of power and up to 700 Nm of torque for aggressive roughing in cast iron and steel.

Optional spindle configurations include a 20,000 RPM high-speed spindle for aluminum work and a 15,000 RPM high-torque variant with 350 Nm for balanced roughing and finishing. Rapid traverse hits 50 m/min on all axes. The direct-drive B-axis rotary table delivers fast, backlash-free indexing at up to 100 RPM. The standard tool magazine holds 60 tools, expandable to a massive 330 positions with the matrix-type magazine for extended unmanned production.

The H.Plus-630 uses box-way construction for maximum rigidity and ships with through-spindle coolant at 20 bar standard (70 bar optional). Standard 2-pallet APC configuration can expand to 6 pallets through the floor pallet system. The G-Tech 31i control provides Matsuura's standard touchscreen interface. The machine competes head-to-head with the Makino A81nx, Okuma MB-8000H, Mazak HCN-6800, and DMG Mori NHX 6300 in the 630 mm HMC segment.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

BT50 Big Plus spindle with up to 700 Nm of torque handles aggressive roughing in cast iron, steel, and titanium without compromise
1,050 x 920 x 990 mm work envelope is exceptionally generous for a 630 mm pallet class, accommodating large castings and multi-part tombstones
Matrix magazine expandable to 330 tools enables extended unmanned production across diverse part families without tool limitations
Direct-drive B-axis at 100 RPM provides fast, backlash-free indexing for high-volume multi-sided machining cycles
1,200 kg pallet load capacity supports heavy tombstone fixtures with multiple large parts per cycle
Floor pallet system expandable to 6 pallets creates genuine FMS capability from a single machine platform

Limitations

Large footprint of approximately 4,800 x 4,200 mm requires significant floor space, limiting placement options in crowded shops
High acquisition cost of $500K-$750K base puts this machine beyond reach for many small-to-medium job shops
16,000 kg machine weight requires adequate foundation preparation and potentially reinforced flooring
Matsuura's North American HMC installed base is smaller than Mazak or Makino, affecting resale values and used market liquidity

Best For

Automotive powertrain plants machining engine blocks, transmission cases, and cylinder heads on tombstone fixtures in high-volume production Aerospace structural component manufacturers producing large aluminum and titanium housings requiring multi-sided horizontal access Heavy equipment and off-highway manufacturers machining large cast iron hydraulic housings and pump bodies FMS-oriented production facilities using the 6-pallet and 330-tool configuration for continuous unmanned multi-shift operation Die and mold shops machining large mold bases and die blocks that benefit from the generous Z-axis travel and heavy table capacity

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a Matsuura H.Plus-630 cost?

New H.Plus-630 pricing typically ranges from $500,000 to $750,000 for a standard 2-pallet configuration with 60-tool magazine. Fully configured cells with the 330-tool matrix magazine and 6-pallet floor system can exceed $1,000,000. Used machines trade between $200,000 and $450,000 depending on age, condition, and configuration.

02 How does the H.Plus-630 compare to the Mazak HCN-6800?

Both are 630 mm pallet HMCs targeting production environments. The Mazak HCN-6800 has a larger North American installed base and stronger resale market. The Matsuura differentiates with box-way construction versus the Mazak roller guide design, and the 330-tool matrix magazine option that exceeds most competitors. Performance and accuracy are comparable. Choose based on local support infrastructure and specific automation requirements.

03 What spindle should I choose for the H.Plus-630?

For mixed steel and cast iron work, the standard 12,000 RPM spindle with 700 Nm of torque is the most versatile choice. For aluminum-dominant aerospace work, the 20,000 RPM high-speed option optimizes surface finish and material removal rate. The 15,000 RPM / 350 Nm configuration is a balanced option for shops that do moderate roughing and finishing across mixed materials.

04 Can the H.Plus-630 run unattended overnight?

Yes, that is its design intent. With up to 330 tools and 6 pallets, the H.Plus-630 can run for many hours without operator intervention. Matsuura's tool life management, broken tool detection, and chip conveyor systems support extended unmanned operation. The G-Tech 31i control provides remote monitoring capability for off-site supervision of lights-out production.
