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 PC32 is the MAM72-42V 5-axis machining center with the Tower Pallet System PC32: 32 pallets in a tower stocker, each rated for 80 kg (176 lb). The table is 420 mm (16.5 in) across and takes parts up to 420 mm dia x 315 mm H (16.5 x 12.4 in), and the rotary axes are direct drive, indexing at 50 / 100 min⁻¹ on B and C.

Thirty-two pallets at 80 kg (176 lb) each set the character of this machine. It is built for many small parts rather than a few heavy ones: a steel part plus fixture reaches 80 kg quickly, but aluminium parts and light fixtures can fill the whole tower and run unattended for a long time. The MAM72-52V PC15 makes the other trade, with 15 pallets rated at 300 kg (661 lb) each.

Tools come in a 60-tool chain magazine as standard. A matrix magazine is the option, offered in steps from 130 up to 530 tools, which matters on a 32-pallet machine: the more part numbers sit in the tower, the more tools have to stay loaded. Rapid traverse is 50 m/min (1,969 ipm). The spindle taper is BT40, with HSK-A63 as an option.

Some rows conflict with the MAM72-42V page, which gives 440 mm (17.3 in) of Y and 60 / 60 / 60 m/min (2,362.2 ipm) rapids against 490 mm (19.3 in) of Y and 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) here. The table for this version lists 550 mm (21.7 in) of X but no Z travel or spindle speed, so confirm travels and spindle with the quotation.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

32 pallets in a tower stocker for long unattended runs of small parts
Matrix magazine option from 130 up to 530 tools, beyond the 60-tool standard chain
Direct-drive rotary axes indexing at 50 / 100 min⁻¹ on B and C
Parts up to 420 mm dia x 315 mm H (16.5 x 12.4 in) on a 420 mm (16.5 in) table

Limitations

Each pallet is rated for only 80 kg (176 lb), part and fixture together
No Z travel or spindle speed is listed for this version
Y travel and rapids here (490 mm, 50 m/min) differ from the MAM72-42V page (440 mm, 60 m/min), so the figures need confirming
The standard chain holds 60 tools, while the MAM72-52V PC15 has a 130-tool matrix as standard

Best For

Lights-out production of small parts across 32 pallets Aluminium and light-alloy parts within 80 kg (176 lb) per pallet High-mix work with many part numbers queued in the tower

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How many pallets does the MAM72-42V PC32 hold, and how heavy can they be?

32 pallets in a tower stocker, each rated for 80 kg (176 lb) including the fixture. Parts can be up to 420 mm dia x 315 mm H (16.5 x 12.4 in). That favours many light parts over a few heavy ones.

02 What tool magazine options does the MAM72-42V PC32 have?

A 60-tool chain magazine is standard. The option is a matrix magazine, offered in steps from 130 up to 530 tools. With 32 pallets that can each carry a different job, the matrix is the way to keep every job's tools loaded at once.

03 Why does the MAM72-42V PC32 list different Y travel from the MAM72-42V?

The MAM72-42V page gives 440 mm (17.3 in) of Y and 60 / 60 / 60 m/min (2,362.2 ipm) rapids; this version's table gives 490 mm (19.3 in) of Y and 50 m/min (1,969 ipm). The table does not explain the difference, so ask which figures apply to the build being quoted.

04 How fast do the rotary axes of the MAM72-42V PC32 move?

The rotary axes are direct drive and index at 50 / 100 min⁻¹ on the B and C axes respectively. Fast indexing shortens the time between faces on parts that need several fixed orientations, which adds up over a tower of 32 pallets.
