Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from Matsuura. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Matsuura MAM72-35V is a compact member of the MAM72 series: a 5-axis machining center with 550 mm (21.6 in) of X, 440 mm (17.3 in) of Y and 580 mm (22.8 in) of Z travel, a 22 kW (30 hp) spindle and a pallet change of approximately 25 sec. Parts go up to Ø 350 × H 315 mm (Ø 13.77 × H 12.40 in).

The pallet change time is the row that sets this machine apart from a single-table 5-axis machine of the same size. With a swap of approximately 25 sec, the next part can be loaded while the current one is cut, and spindle time is lost only during the change itself. The table does not give the number of pallets, so ask which pallet system is fitted to the machine being quoted.

The 12,000 rpm spindle is standard, with 15,000 rpm and 20,000 rpm versions as options, all listed with a BT40 interface; the taper row, however, gives HSK-A63. Clarify which applies before ordering toolholders. At 22 kW (30 hp) the spindle has twice the 11 kW (14.7 hp) of the LX-160, which runs to 46,000 rpm but suits much lighter cuts.

Tool storage starts at 40 and can be expanded to 240. The CUBLEX-35 shares all three travels, starts at 60 tools and adds a turning C-axis, so it is the alternative when parts need turned features. For longer parts, the MAM72-52V moves X to 1,010 mm (39.8 in), with 540 mm (21.3 in) of Y and 610 mm (24.0 in) of Z.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

22 kW (30 hp) spindle, twice the 11 kW (14.7 hp) of the LX-160
Pallet change in approximately 25 sec keeps the spindle cutting while the next part is loaded
12,000 rpm standard, with 15,000 rpm and 20,000 rpm spindles offered as options
Tool storage expandable from 40 as standard to 240

Limitations

Parts are limited to Ø 350 × H 315 mm (Ø 13.77 × H 12.40 in)
The number of pallets is not listed, so the level of automation must be confirmed
The speed row lists BT40 spindles while the taper row gives HSK-A63, so the tool interface needs confirming
40 tools as standard, 20 fewer than the 60 of the CUBLEX-35 on the same travels

Best For

Small 5-axis parts up to Ø 350 mm in batch production with pallet changes Steel and aluminium work that needs 22 kW (30 hp) at up to 12,000 rpm Job lists that grow beyond the standard 40 tools, with expansion to 240

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How fast is the pallet change on the MAM72-35V?

Approximately 25 sec. That is the time the spindle stands idle between parts, since the next pallet is loaded while the current part is cut. The table does not state how many pallets are fitted, so confirm the pallet system with the quotation.

02 What is the difference between the MAM72-35V and the CUBLEX-35?

Both have 550 mm (21.6 in) of X, 440 mm (17.3 in) of Y and 580 mm (22.8 in) of Z, and the same Ø 350 × H 315 mm (Ø 13.77 × H 12.40 in) workpiece limit. The CUBLEX-35 starts with 60 tools against 40 here and adds turning on its C-axis. The MAM72-35V lists a 22 kW (30 hp) spindle and a pallet change of approximately 25 sec.

03 Which spindles are offered on the MAM72-35V?

A 12,000 rpm spindle is standard, and 15,000 rpm and 20,000 rpm spindles are options; all three are listed with BT40. Spindle power is 22 kW (30 hp). The taper row lists HSK-A63, which conflicts with the BT40 in the speed row, so confirm the interface before buying holders.

04 How many tools does the MAM72-35V hold?

40 as standard, expandable to 240. The larger number is what lets a pallet machine run several different part numbers in a shift without stopping to reload tools, so it is worth deciding on early if the machine will run unattended.
