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 PC4 is listed here as a compact 5-axis machining center with a four-pallet changer: 450 mm (17.7 in) of X, 400 mm (15.7 in) of Y and 400 mm (15.7 in) of Z, a 250 mm (9.8 in) rotary table and a BT30 spindle running to 20,000 RPM. The tilting A axis swings from +10° to -125° and the C axis turns 360° (continuous).

The pallets are small. Each carries 60 kg (132 lb), and the largest part the listed figures allow is 330 mm dia x 250 mm H (13.0 x 9.8 in). That points the machine at small components run in quantity, where loaded pallets wait outside the work zone while the spindle cuts. Pallet change is listed at < 15 sec, tool-to-tool change at 0.9 sec, and the magazine holds 60 tools as standard with 90 optional.

Treat the listed figures with care. The MX-330 PC10 gives 435 mm (17.1 in) X, 465 mm (18.3 in) Y and 560 mm (22.1 in) Z with a BT40 spindle, which does not match this table's travels or its BT30 taper. Confirm the travels, the taper and the 5.5 / 7.5 kW (7.4 / 10 hp) spindle rating with Matsuura before planning work around them. The machine is listed at 5,500 kg (12,125 lb) on a 2,800 x 2,100 mm footprint, with the Matsuura G-Tech 30i touch-screen control.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

20,000 RPM spindle with a 0.9 sec tool-to-tool change, suited to small cutters and short operations
4 pallets rated 60 kg (132 lb) each, with a listed pallet change of < 15 sec
60-tool magazine as standard, 90 optional, so several part families can share the pallets
A axis from +10° to -125° and a continuous 360° C axis reach most faces of a part in one clamping

Limitations

A BT30 taper and 5.5 / 7.5 kW (7.4 / 10 hp) of spindle power rule out heavy roughing in steel
Parts are limited to 330 mm dia x 250 mm H (13.0 x 9.8 in) and 60 kg (132 lb) per pallet
The listed travels and taper differ from the MX-330 PC10, which shows 435 mm (17.1 in) X, 465 mm (18.3 in) Y, 560 mm (22.1 in) Z and BT40, so the table needs confirming

Best For

Small 5-axis parts at up to 20,000 RPM Batch runs fed from 4 pallets Parts within 330 mm dia x 250 mm H

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How many pallets does the MX-330 PC4 have and what can each carry?

Four. Each pallet is rated 60 kg (132 lb), the rotary table is 250 mm (9.8 in) across and the largest listed part is 330 mm dia x 250 mm H (13.0 x 9.8 in). Pallet change is listed at < 15 sec, so the spindle is idle only briefly between loads.

02 What spindle does the MX-330 PC4 use?

A BT30 spindle to 20,000 RPM, rated 5.5 / 7.5 kW (7.4 / 10 hp). Small taper and high speed point to small cutters, finishing and light milling rather than heavy stock removal. Tool-to-tool change is 0.9 sec and rapids are 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) on X, Y and Z.

03 Why do the MX-330 PC4 figures differ from the MX-330 PC10?

The MX-330 PC10 lists 435 mm (17.1 in) X, 465 mm (18.3 in) Y and 560 mm (22.1 in) Z, a 15,000 rpm BT40 spindle as standard and 60 tools standard with 90 optional. This table lists other travels and a BT30 taper. Ask Matsuura which configuration a quoted machine actually has before comparing the two.

04 How much floor space and foundation does the MX-330 PC4 need?

The listed footprint is 2,800 x 2,100 mm and the listed weight is 5,500 kg (12,125 lb). Add room around the pallet station for loading, and check the floor rating for that weight before the machine is delivered.
