2010 MATSUURA MC1000 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2010 Matsuura MC-1000 is a 3-axis vertical machining center from Matsuura's MC series, designed for high-productivity machining of large workpieces requiring extended X-axis travel in a rigid, box-way structure. The MC-1000 provides X/Y/Z axis travels of 39.4 inches, 19.7 inches, and 19.7 inches with a table measuring approximately 59 by 19.7 inches, offering ample capacity for long-bed fixtures, multi-part setups, and large mold plates. A 15 HP, 8,000 RPM spindle with BT40 taper handles the full range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials encountered in general production machining, from roughing passes in mild steel to precision finishing in aluminum. Matsuura's box-way construction throughout the machine provides long-term accuracy retention and excellent vibration damping, enabling consistent quality across extended production runs. The Fanuc 31i-B CNC control provides 3-axis simultaneous interpolation with full G-code and canned cycle support. A 30-position automatic tool changer supports complex multi-operation setups, reducing non-cutting time and operator involvement. At approximately 13,000 lbs, the MC-1000 combines a generous machining envelope with the rugged durability characteristic of Matsuura's classic MC series construction. It remains a well-regarded workhorse in job shops and production facilities requiring long-travel vertical machining capability with proven reliability.
