Matsuura H-Plus 300 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2008 Matsuura H-Plus-300 is a compact horizontal machining center engineered for high-precision, automated production in space-constrained environments. This machine represents one of the most compact HMC solutions available, delivering exceptional rigidity and accuracy while utilizing approximately 70% of the floor space required by conventional 400mm horizontal machining centers. The machine features a 300mm pallet system with a loading capacity of 250kg (551 lbs), accommodating workpieces up to Ø530 x H760mm (Ø20.86 x H29.92 inches). Equipped with an 80-tool automatic tool changer, the machine incorporates Matsuura's high-speed indexing system for rapid tool changes, enhancing overall productivity. The CAT-40 spindle delivers a maximum speed of 20,000 RPM with continuous motor power of 15kW, providing sufficient torque for demanding cutting operations. The machine achieves rapid traverse rates of 2,362.2 IPM across all axes (X/Y/Z), enabling swift positioning and reducing cycle times. The H-Plus-300 incorporates advanced thermal compensation standards as a feature, ensuring consistent dimensional accuracy across varying environmental conditions. The full 4-axis rotary table capability supports continuous indexing for complex multi-sided machining operations without manual repositioning. With a total machine weight of approximately 7,000kg and overall dimensions of 3,660mm length x 2,463mm width x 2,445mm height, the unit occupies minimal floor space while maintaining the working envelope comparable to larger horizontal centers. The machine operates through Matsuura's G-Tech 30i control system, featuring rigid tapping and advanced chip evacuation capabilities for near-unmanned operation.
