Overview

The Matsuura MAM72-70V is the largest member of the MAM72 multi-pallet 5-axis family, handling workpieces up to 700 mm (27.6 in) diameter. This machine was developed for shops that need the MAM72 proven lights-out automation philosophy applied to genuinely large 5-axis parts: major aerospace structural components, large turbine housings, heavy mold inserts, and industrial precision parts that exceed the 63V envelope.

Axis travel measures 850 x 700 x 700 mm (33.5 x 27.6 x 27.6 in) on X/Y/Z. The A-axis tilts from +30 to -120 degrees with full 360-degree C-axis rotation. The standard spindle is a BT50 at 10,000 RPM with 30/37 kW (40/50 hp), delivering the cutting authority needed for aggressive material removal in steel, titanium, and Inconel at this scale. HSK-A100 and high-speed BT40 options are available.

Pallet load capacity hits 500 kg (1,102 lb). The integrated pallet stocker holds up to 32 pallets at the 700 mm size, and the tool magazine scales from 60 standard positions to 520+ through the matrix magazine system. Tool-to-tool change time is 1.8 seconds. The MIMS cell controller manages the full production queue.

The MAM72-70V weighs approximately 28,000 kg (61,729 lb) with a cell footprint of roughly 5,200 x 5,800 mm including the pallet stocker. The G-Tech 31i control and CAMplete TruePath come standard. This machine occupies the top tier of integrated 5-axis automation, competing with the Hermle C 52 U with HS flex, DMG MORI DMU 100 P duoBLOCK with pallet pool, and large-format Makino 5-axis HMCs.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

700 mm workpiece diameter is the largest in the MAM72 lineup, covering major aerospace structural components
BT50 spindle with 400 Nm torque and 37 kW power handles aggressive roughing in titanium, steel, and Inconel
500 kg per-pallet load capacity accommodates heavy fixtures and large steel workpieces
Up to 32 integrated pallets with 520+ tool matrix magazine delivers full FMS-level automation
Same proven MIMS cell controller and G-Tech 31i interface as the entire MAM72 family
Integrated pallet tower is more compact than equivalent bolt-on robot or gantry automation

Limitations

Capital investment of $1M-$1.5M places this at the top of the investment scale for standalone 5-axis machines
28,000 kg machine weight requires serious foundation engineering
Cell footprint of 5.2 x 5.8 m requires dedicated floor space with crane access
Standard 10,000 RPM spindle speed is conservative for high-speed aluminum finishing

Best For

Aerospace prime contractors machining large structural components, bulkheads, and engine housings Defense manufacturers producing large precision housings and structural parts Large mold and die shops running major cavity blocks through automated 5-axis finishing Energy sector manufacturers producing turbine components and valve bodies up to 700 mm High-value contract manufacturers who can fill 20+ pallets with large-format production work

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a Matsuura MAM72-70V cost?

New MAM72-70V pricing typically ranges from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000. Fully loaded cells with 32 pallets and HSK-A100 spindle can exceed $1.8 million.

02 How does the MAM72-70V compare to the MAM72-63V?

The 70V extends the 63V: 700 mm workpiece diameter (vs 630 mm), 850 mm X-travel (vs 730 mm), 700 mm Y/Z travel (vs 600 mm), and 400 Nm torque (vs 350 Nm). The 70V is roughly 6,000 kg heavier and costs $200K-$300K more.

03 What foundation does the MAM72-70V require?

At 28,000 kg, a purpose-engineered reinforced concrete foundation is required, typically 300-400 mm thick. Allow 6-8 weeks for foundation work before delivery.

04 Can the MAM72-70V be configured with fewer than 32 pallets?

Yes, but buying a 70V with few pallets undermines the economics. The MX-850 PC4 is more cost-effective for large-part automation at low pallet counts.
