MATSUURA MC-600VF VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Matsuura MC-600VF is a robust vertical machining center designed for high-precision milling, drilling, tapping, and boring operations. It features a substantial working envelope with X, Y, and Z axis travels of approximately 600 mm, 410 mm, and 470 mm respectively, making it suitable for medium-sized workpieces. The machine is equipped with a BT40 spindle taper and offers spindle speeds up to 15,000 rpm, powered by a spindle motor rated around 5.5 to 7.5 kW depending on the model variant. The MC-600VF includes an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a capacity for 20 to 30 tools, enabling efficient tool management and minimizing downtime during production. The table size is roughly 870 mm by 400 mm with a maximum load capacity near 400 kg, providing a stable platform for machining. Control systems vary but commonly include Yasnac and Fanuc CNC controls, offering versatile programming and operations. The machine’s overall footprint measures approximately 98 inches in width and length, with a height near 106 inches, and a weight around 10,000 lbs (about 4,400 kg). Additional features often include coolant-through-spindle functionality, chip conveyors, spindle chillers, and safety interlocks. Its rigid construction and advanced spindle capabilities make it suitable for diverse manufacturing environments, particularly for mold making and die machining where precision and repeatability are essential. The MC-600VF is valued for combining durable mechanical design with CNC flexibility, supporting complex and accurate production workflows.
