MACH 2024

Triple debuts for Matsuura

Making its debut appearance at MACH 2024 on Matsuura’s stand 20-442: The 4 axis horizontal H.Plus-405 PC12, possesses 12off 500mm2 pallets and compact footprint making it a firm favourite in both high volume production environments and companies engaged in high mix, low volume manufacturing. Designed to optimise automation whilst sitting within a small footprint, the H.Plus-405 PC12 is widely used in aerospace, automotive and is a popular investment with UK precision subcontractors where versatility, capacity and unerring unmanned capability are paramount. Also making it’s first appearance at MACH is the 5 axis MX-850, the largest machine in the MX Series, offering users a large capacity, high quality, and cost-effective single table Matsuura 5 axis CNC machining platform. The MACH MX-850 is pre-fitted with an auto door, and a host of features making it ready for rapid robot integration. UK users of this robust, versatile, and highly engineered machine tool include motorsport

5-Axis Vertical Machining Centre configured with 10 pallets and 90 tools. The MX-420 PC10 was developed following global demand for a larger workpiece envelope on the same winning MX-330 PC10 platform. Possessing Matsuura’s legendary OEM automation technology, the fully automated MX-420 PC10 provides affordable and reliable unmanned 5-axis production – machining live throughout the show and demonstrating just how flexible the 10-pallet changer can be during unmanned operation. Following the success of MACH 2022 and the interest from visitors in our additive manufacturing offer, Matsuura have a separate stand 20-442 entirely dedicated to 3D printers, AM software and raw parts post-processing. www.matsuura.co.uk
