Matsuura Machinery USA will showcase automation products and new technologies designed to increase production, minimize cost, increase quality and reduce set-up and lead times.
The company will feature five machining centers:
- CUBLEX-35 5-axis multitasking machining center
- H.Plus-300 horizontal machining center (HMC)
- LX-160 high-grade linear motor machine
- MAM72-100H 5-axis HMC
- MX-850 5-axis VMC.
"Matsuura's flexibility and automation capabilities, including our multi-pallet systems, can simplify the production process and reduce cycle times tremendously," said John Schwartz, Matsuura USA President. "Matsuura's unattended, lights-out machining is strategic in reducing labor costs and has assisted many organizations in becoming much more competitive, allowing them to participate in additional markets."
At IMTS, Matsuura's CUBLEX-35 5-axis multitasking machining center will feature precision milling, turning and grinding on the same platform. The B/C axis rotary table, combined with pallet changer, is designed to enable high production milling and turning with precision. Matsuura's CUBLEX-35 will highlight a 20,000 RPM milling spindle, a 20,000 RPM direct drive C-axis motor, a 320 tool matrix magazine ATC and Matsuura's main spindle "chop-grinding" function.
Matsuura will also exhibit the H.Plus-300 HMC with automatic tool changer, 320 tools and PC 15 tower pallet system. "The H.Plus-300 is a rugged, high-speed precision HMC delivering long periods of reliable, unmanned operation, high accuracy and efficient production," said a company spokesperson. "Offering the ability to gain access to all sides of the part during production, the Matsuura H.PLUS-300 is capable of handling most modern materials that require high accuracy machining."
The Matsuura LX-160 high-grade 5-axis vertical linear motor machine is equipped with linear motors for machining with high speed and high precision. According to the company, the LX-160 is a dedicated and optimized 5-axis design, not a 3-axis machine with a bolt-on 4th and 5th. The LX-160 is dedicated to the high-speed, high-accuracy market, with a focus on small workpiece processing and linear motor drive technology. The LX-160 at IMTS will feature 42 pallets and 338 tools.
Matsuura will also showcase the MAM72-100H HMC, the largest 5-axis model in the MAM72 Series. "The Matsuura MAM72-100H 5-axis HMC allows cutting on all five sides in one operation and can achieve process integration and high-accuracy, complex 5-axis machining to meet the need for unmanned operation," said the spokesperson. "This substantial machining center is one of very few to use linear motor, 5-axis technology." The Matsuura MAM72-100H will be exhibited with the high-torque, #50 taper spindle.
"The MX-850 5-axis VMC was developed in response to market demand for a large capacity, high quality and cost effective single table Matsuura 5-axis machining platform," said the spokesperson. "The MX-850 is compactly built, yet ensures high rigidity and a sufficient machining area and workability."
All Matsuura machine tools featured at IMTS will be equipped with CAMplete Truepath Software, an integrated suite of G-code editing, optimization, analysis and verification tools.
