2001 MATSUURA MAM 72-3VS VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2001 Matsuura MAM 72-3VS is a 5-axis vertical machining center from the MAM72 series, offering an expanded machining envelope in a tilt-rotary table 5-axis configuration suited to aerospace and complex engineering components. The MAM 72-3VS features X/Y/Z axis travels of 26.77 inches, 15.74 inches, and 24.60 inches, accommodating medium-to-large workpieces requiring full simultaneous 5-axis interpolation. The integrated tilt-rotary table provides A-axis movement from +65 to -110 degrees and full 360-degree C-axis rotation, enabling complete 5-sided access to complex parts in a single clamping and eliminating multiple setups. A 12,000 RPM, 15 HP BT40 spindle delivers a balanced combination of speed and torque for versatile material processing from aluminum to hardened steel. The Fanuc 18i-MB CNC control provides full simultaneous 5-axis interpolation with AICC contouring capability, optimizing surface quality and cycle time on compound curved surfaces. An automatic pallet system option enables automated loading and unloading for extended unmanned operation, consistent with the MAM72 series' focus on production automation. High-capacity tool magazine configurations support complex parts requiring diverse tooling across roughing, semi-finishing, and finishing operations without manual intervention. The MAM 72-3VS reflects Matsuura's engineering philosophy of combining rigid machine construction with advanced 5-axis kinematics for accurate, repeatable production of precision components in high-mix manufacturing environments.
