1998 MATSUURA MC800 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 1998 Matsuura MC-800 is a 3-axis vertical machining center from Matsuura's MC series, representing the larger end of the mid-range lineup with expanded travel and higher spindle power suited to production machining of substantial workpieces. The MC-800 provides X/Y/Z axis travels of 31.5 inches, 19.7 inches, and 19.7 inches with a table measuring approximately 47.2 by 19.7 inches, capable of supporting workpieces up to 1,540 lbs. A 15 HP, 8,000 RPM spindle with BT40 taper delivers robust cutting performance across the full range of engineering materials including steel, cast iron, aluminum, and non-ferrous alloys for a complete range of VMC operations. Matsuura's characteristic box-way construction provides superior rigidity and vibration dampening, enabling confident heavy-duty roughing without compromising surface finish quality or long-term dimensional accuracy. The Fanuc 0M CNC control delivers standard 3-axis simultaneous interpolation with full G-code programming compatibility and canned cycle support for common machining operations. A 30-position automatic tool changer supports complex multi-operation setups, minimizing non-cutting time in production environments. At approximately 11,000 lbs, the MC-800 presents a solid combination of table size, spindle capability, and proven Matsuura reliability, making it a durable and dependable choice for job shops and manufacturing facilities handling a wide variety of part sizes.
