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 MAM72-3VS is a compact 5-axis machining center with a 32-pallet triple-deck tower. The listed figures give 560 mm (22.0 in) of X, 450 mm (17.7 in) of Y and 500 mm (19.7 in) of Z, a 12,000 rpm HSK-A63 spindle rated 15 kW (20 hp) continuous, and 120 tools, expandable to 200+.

The pallets are small: Ø 320 mm (12.6 in), each carrying up to 50 kg (110 lb). Parts may overhang them up to Ø 430 mm (16.9 in) and 350 mm (13.8 in) tall. With 32 pallets at that load, the machine suits long runs of light parts rather than heavy work. A part at the full Ø 430 mm overhangs its pallet all round, so check clearance through the tilt range before quoting the largest sizes. The A-axis is listed at +20° / -110° and the C-axis at 360° continuous.

Optional spindles of 20,000 and 46,000 rpm are listed for small-tool work. Rapid traverse is 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) and positioning accuracy +/- 0.003 mm. At approx. 9,000 kg (19,841 lb), the floor and foundation need checking before installation. The control is listed with Matsuura MAMS.
