How much does the Matsuura MX-330 PC10 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 MX-330 PC10 is the MX-330 5-axis machining center with a 10-pallet system: ten pallets, each rated for 60 kg (132 lb), on a machine with 435 mm (17.1 in) of X, 465 mm (18.3 in) of Y and 560 mm (22.1 in) of Z travel. The magazine holds 60 tools as standard, with 90 as an option.
The pallets change the work envelope. Without them the MX-330 takes Ø 330 × H 320 mm (Ø 12.99 × H 12.60 in), or Ø 420 × H 320 mm (Ø 16.54 × H 12.60 in) with conditions; with the PC10 the listed limit is Ø 330 × H 300 mm (Ø 12.99 × H 11.81 in). The 60 kg (132 lb) rating is the other constraint, so this is a machine for small, light parts run in quantity, with ten fixtures loaded ahead of an unmanned shift.
The spindle matches the base MX-330: 15,000 rpm BT40 as standard, with 15,000 rpm Power-Up and 20,000 rpm BT40 options. Rapid traverse is 40 m/min (1,575 ipm). The MX-420 PC10 uses the same travels and 10 pallets but a 420 mm (16.5 in) table, 100 kg (220 lb) per pallet and up to 120 tools, so it is the one to look at if parts are larger or heavier.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Ten, each rated for 60 kg (132 lb) including the fixture. With the pallet system fitted the largest listed part is Ø 330 × H 300 mm (Ø 12.99 × H 11.81 in), against a height of 320 mm (12.60 in) on the MX-330 without pallets.
02
Both have 435 mm (17.1 in) of X, 465 mm (18.3 in) of Y and 560 mm (22.1 in) of Z and 10 pallets. The MX-420 PC10 has a 420 mm (16.5 in) table, rates each pallet at 100 kg (220 lb) and offers up to 120 tools; the MX-330 PC10 carries 60 kg (132 lb) per pallet and offers 90 tools at most.
03
A 15,000 rpm BT40 spindle as standard, with a 15,000 rpm Power-Up BT40 and a 20,000 rpm BT40 spindle as options. The Power-Up version has the same top speed, so ask what it adds before choosing it.
