How much does the Matsuura MAM72-42V cost?
Estimated price range
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 MAM72-42V is a 5-axis machining center with a 32-pallet Tower Pallet System as standard, built on 550 mm (21.6 in) of X, 440 mm (17.3 in) of Y and 580 mm (22.8 in) of Z travel. It takes parts up to Ø 420 × H 315 mm (Ø 16.53 × H 12.40 in) and moves at 60 / 60 / 60 m/min (2,362.2 ipm) rapid on all three linear axes.
The MAM72-35V has the same three travels, so the comparison comes down to automation and part size. The MAM72-42V takes parts up to Ø 420 mm against Ø 350 mm on the MAM72-35V, and its 32-pallet tower is standard, where the MAM72-35V lists a pallet change time but no pallet count. For unattended work the tower is the point of this machine: 32 pallets can hold a long queue of one part or a mix of part numbers set up in advance.
The spindle runs to 12,000 rpm as standard, with 15,000 rpm and 20,000 rpm options, on SK40 or BT40 taper; HSK-A63 is optional. The control runs Matsuura's MiOS 4 operating system. The table gives no spindle power, tool capacity or pallet load, so those need confirming before the machine is matched to a job, particularly the weight each pallet can carry.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 32-pallet Tower Pallet System as standard for long unattended runs
- Parts up to Ø 420 × H 315 mm (Ø 16.53 × H 12.40 in), larger in diameter than the Ø 350 mm of the MAM72-35V
- 60 / 60 / 60 m/min (2,362.2 ipm) rapid traverse on X, Y and Z
- 12,000 rpm standard spindle with 15,000 rpm and 20,000 rpm options
Limitations
- No pallet load, spindle power or tool capacity is listed, so the table alone cannot confirm fit for heavy parts
- Part height is limited to 315 mm (12.40 in)

Frequently Asked Questions
01
32, in a Tower Pallet System that comes as standard. Each pallet takes parts up to Ø 420 × H 315 mm (Ø 16.53 × H 12.40 in). The table does not list how much weight a pallet can carry, so ask for that figure before planning heavy fixtures.
02
The travels are the same: 550 mm (21.6 in) in X, 440 mm (17.3 in) in Y and 580 mm (22.8 in) in Z. The MAM72-42V takes parts up to Ø 420 mm and has a 32-pallet tower as standard; the MAM72-35V takes parts up to Ø 350 mm, lists a 22 kW (30 hp) spindle and a pallet change of approximately 25 sec, and does not state a pallet count.
03
The table lists Matsuura's MiOS 4 operating system and no other control details. Ask for the control specification with the quotation if pallet scheduling or particular programming functions matter to the cell.
