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-520 PC4 is the four-pallet version of the MX-520 5-axis machining center, with 630 mm of X, 560 mm of Y and 510 mm of Z. Each pallet station uses a 300 mm (11.8 in) table. The listed part envelope is D 710 x H 350 for a bullet-shaped part, and D 520 x H 330 mm with the pallet type option, so check which one applies to the fixturing you intend to use.

The magazine starts at 90 tools, against 60 on the single-table MX-520, and can be ordered with 120. With 4 pallets loaded, that tool count decides how many different part numbers can run without an operator refilling pockets. The taper is BT40 / CAT40, with HSK-A63 as an option.

This table gives no spindle speed, spindle power, pallet load or pallet change time. The MX-520 lists 12,000 rpm BT40 as standard with Torque-Up and 20,000 rpm options; confirm with Matsuura which of those the PC4 takes, and what each pallet may carry, before quoting a job on it.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

4 pallets on a 300 mm (11.8 in) table, so parts are loaded while the machine cuts
90 tools as standard and 120 optional, against 60 standard on the single-table MX-520
Taper choice of BT40 / CAT40 or optional HSK-A63
Same 630 mm X, 560 mm Y and 510 mm Z as the single-table MX-520

Limitations

No spindle speed, power, pallet load or pallet change time is listed for this model, so those must come from Matsuura
With the pallet type option the part envelope drops to D 520 x H 330 mm

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the MX-520 PC4 differ from the MX-520?

Both have 630 mm of X, 560 mm of Y and 510 mm of Z. The PC4 adds 4 pallets on a 300 mm (11.8 in) table and a larger standard magazine of 90 tools (120 optional), where the MX-520 starts at 60. The single-table MX-520 also lists a 500 mm (19.7 in) table option.

02 What size parts fit the MX-520 PC4?

The listed envelope is D 710 x H 350 for a bullet-shaped part. With the pallet type option it is D 520 x H 330 mm. Measure the part with its fixture and pallet against the configuration you order.

03 What spindle does the MX-520 PC4 have?

The table gives only the taper: BT40 / CAT40 as standard, HSK-A63 optional. It lists no speed or power. The single-table MX-520 runs 12,000 rpm BT40 as standard with Torque-Up and 20,000 rpm options, so ask Matsuura which of these the PC4 can carry.
