2001 Matsuura H-Plus 300 CNC Horizontal Mill

The Matsuura H-Plus 300 is a compact, high-speed horizontal machining center with a reputation for precision and throughput that has made it a go-to platform in aerospace, automotive, and high-mix production shops. This 2001 unit is configured with an 11-pallet pool and a 150-tool magazine — a combination that enables sustained unmanned production across complex part families without reloading. The spindle runs at 15,000 rpm with BT40 tooling and through-spindle coolant, delivering the high-speed cutting performance this machine is known for. Axis travels measure 19.68" × 19.68" × 19.68" on a 300mm × 300mm pallet with a 550-lb load capacity, with rapid traverse rates of 1,969 IPM keeping non-cut time tight across the full pallet circuit. The machine includes a Turbo Systems chip conveyor, a probing system with hardware on board (installation required), and approximately 100 BT40 tool holders — making it a complete production package for a buyer ready to run.

Where the earlier Matsuura MC-760 series — the 4-axis horizontals that anchored Matsuura's HMC lineup through the mid-1990s — topped out at 10,000 rpm with 60-tool magazines and a limited pallet configuration, the H-Plus 300 introduced a purpose-built architecture for high-speed compact production. The jump to 15,000 rpm, a scalable ATC expandable to 150 tools, and the multi-pallet pool system represented a generational step up in throughput and unmanned run time the MC-760 couldn't match. The H-Plus 300 also delivered a significantly tighter footprint — roughly 30% smaller than comparable 400mm HMCs — while matching their part capacity on a 300mm pallet. Buyers stepping into horizontal machining for the first time, or adding capacity without adding floor space, get a proven platform with a support network that remains active today.
