1989 MATSUURA MC510 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 1989 Matsuura MC-510 is a 3-axis vertical machining center from Matsuura's established MC series, providing a reliable box-way platform for general production machining across a broad range of materials and operations. With X/Y/Z axis travels of 21.7 inches, 15.4 inches, and 17.7 inches and a table measuring approximately 29.5 by 15.7 inches, the MC-510 accommodates a versatile range of workpiece sizes for toolroom and production use. An 8,000 RPM, 7.5 HP BT40 spindle provides dependable performance across steel, cast iron, aluminum, and non-ferrous alloys in drilling, milling, tapping, and boring operations. The box-way guideway construction throughout the machine ensures long-term rigidity, vibration resistance, and accuracy retention — a defining characteristic of Matsuura's MC series that enables reliable performance over decades of production service. The Fanuc 0M CNC control provides full 3-axis simultaneous interpolation with standard G-code programming support and canned cycle capability for common machining operations. A 20 or 30-position automatic tool changer minimizes tool change time in multi-operation production setups. At approximately 7,700 lbs, the MC-510 balances a moderate footprint with robust construction, making it well-suited to job shops, training facilities, and manufacturing operations requiring a dependable compact vertical machining center. Matsuura's quality build standards ensure the MC-510 continues to hold dimensional accuracy and mechanical performance through years of daily production use.
