1999 MATSUURA MAM 72-35V PC2 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 1999 Matsuura MAM 72-35V PC2 is a 5-axis vertical machining center from Matsuura's proven MAM72 series, designed for simultaneous 5-axis machining of precision components in aerospace, medical, and general engineering applications. The MAM 72-35V offers X/Y/Z axis travels of 13.8 inches, 13.8 inches, and 13.8 inches with a 13.8-inch diameter pallet that supports workpieces up to 660 lbs, covering a broad range of small to medium component sizes. A 12,000 RPM, 20 HP BT40 spindle provides balanced roughing torque and finish-quality cutting across ferrous and non-ferrous materials, supported by a high-rigidity direct-drive tilting rotary table for accurate 5-axis positioning. Full simultaneous 5-axis interpolation is controlled by a Fanuc 18i-MB CNC with AICC (AI Contour Control) and nano-interpolation, enabling complex compound surface machining with minimal programming complexity. This unit is configured with a 2-pallet automatic pallet changer, allowing workpiece loading on one pallet while the other is being machined for uninterrupted spindle utilization. The MAM72 architecture features a thermally symmetric base casting, automatic thermal compensation, and a high-speed automatic tool changer supporting up to 120 tools for extended unmanned production. Angular positioning accuracy on the tilt and rotary axes is within 5 arc-seconds, ensuring consistent geometric accuracy across high-mix production runs. At approximately 22,000 lbs, the MAM 72-35V is a compact yet highly capable 5-axis platform trusted by manufacturers worldwide for its reliability, accuracy, and automation-ready design.
