2000 MATSUURA ES550 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2000 Matsuura ES-550 is a compact 3-axis vertical machining center engineered for high-speed precision machining of small to medium-sized workpieces. With X/Y/Z travels of 21.7 inches, 13.8 inches, and 17.7 inches, the ES-550 offers an efficient machining envelope well-suited for intricate mold cavities, precision components, and prototype work. The 15,000 RPM direct-drive spindle delivers exceptional cutting speeds with 8 HP of continuous power, making the ES-550 particularly effective for finishing aluminum, hardened steel, and graphite electrode production. The machine's compact footprint and low weight of approximately 5,500 lbs make it an ideal fit for facilities with limited floor space. A Fanuc CNC control provides 3-axis simultaneous interpolation, high-speed look-ahead processing, and full G-code compatibility. Box-way construction on all axes ensures rigid, chatter-free cutting even at maximum feed rates, while integrated thermal compensation maintains dimensional accuracy during extended production runs. The ES-550 features a 20-position automatic tool changer, full splash guarding, and integrated coolant system as standard equipment. Built to Matsuura's renowned Japanese quality standards, the ES-550 is a dependable choice for toolrooms, medical component manufacturers, and precision job shops requiring reliability and accuracy in a compact machine format.
