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-850 is the large single-table machine of the MX 5-axis line, with 900 mm (35.4 in) of X, 780 mm (30.7 in) of Y and 650 mm (25.6 in) of Z over a 630 mm (24.8 in) table. It takes parts up to Ø 760 × H 450 mm (Ø 29.92 × H 17.71 in), or Ø 850 × H 450 mm (Ø 33.46 × H 17.71 in) with conditions, and the table is rated for 500 kg (1,102 lb).

For comparison, the MX-520 has 630 mm (24.8 in) of X, 560 mm (22.0 in) of Y and 510 mm (20.1 in) of Z on a BT40 / CAT40 spindle. The MX-850 is the step to take when parts outgrow that envelope or need a heavier spindle: its taper is BT50 as standard, with BT40, HSK-A63 and HSK-A100 as options, and power is rated 22 / 30 kW (30 / 40 hp). A 50-taper spindle on a trunnion of this size points at steel, cast iron and large housings where stock removal matters as much as reach.

One row needs a question to Matsuura. The speed row reads 12,000 rpm BT40 as standard, with 15,000 rpm and 20,000 rpm BT40 options, while the taper row makes BT50 the standard. Before ordering, confirm the top speed of the BT50 spindle and whether the faster spindles come only with the BT40 taper.

The magazine holds 60 tools as standard, with 90 and 120 optional, and rapids are 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) on X, Y and Z. A buyer who wants the same envelope fed from pallets should look at the MX-850 PC4.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

900 mm (35.4 in) X, 780 mm (30.7 in) Y and 650 mm (25.6 in) Z on a 630 mm (24.8 in) table
22 / 30 kW (30 / 40 hp) of spindle power with a BT50 taper as standard
Table rated 500 kg (1,102 lb), enough for heavy fixtures and castings
Taper options of BT40, HSK-A63 and HSK-A100 alongside the standard BT50
Parts up to Ø 850 × H 450 mm (Ø 33.46 × H 17.71 in) with conditions

Limitations

The speed row lists BT40 against a BT50 standard taper, so the top speed of the BT50 spindle must be confirmed
60 tools as standard; 90 and 120 are options
Single table with no pallet changer; the MX-850 PC4 adds pallets
No spindle torque figure is listed, so low-speed roughing capacity has to be checked with Matsuura

Best For

Large 5-axis parts up to Ø 760 × H 450 mm Steel and cast parts on a BT50 spindle Workpieces and fixtures up to 500 kg (1,102 lb) Parts that outgrow the MX-520 envelope

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How big a part fits on the MX-850?

Ø 760 × H 450 mm (Ø 29.92 × H 17.71 in) as standard, and Ø 850 × H 450 mm (Ø 33.46 × H 17.71 in) with conditions. The table is 630 mm (24.8 in) in diameter and carries 500 kg (1,102 lb), so weigh the part and the fixture together.

02 What spindle and taper does the MX-850 use?

BT50 is the standard taper, with BT40, HSK-A63 and HSK-A100 as options, and power is 22 / 30 kW (30 / 40 hp). The speed row gives 12,000 rpm as standard and 15,000 and 20,000 rpm as options, but labels all three BT40, so ask Matsuura which speed the BT50 spindle reaches.

03 How does the MX-850 compare with the MX-520?

The MX-520 has 630 mm (24.8 in) of X, 560 mm (22.0 in) of Y and 510 mm (20.1 in) of Z with a BT40 / CAT40 taper. The MX-850 has 900 mm (35.4 in), 780 mm (30.7 in) and 650 mm (25.6 in), a BT50 standard taper and a 500 kg (1,102 lb) table. Both start at 60 tools.

04 What is the difference between the MX-850 and the MX-850 PC4?

The travels, spindle and magazine are the same. The MX-850 PC4 adds 4 pallets with a pallet change listed at ~30 sec, and its part envelope reads Ø 850 × H 450 mm, or Ø 850 × H 385 mm with pallet options. The single-table MX-850 lists the 500 kg (1,102 lb) table load.
