2014 Matsuura MAM72-63V CNC 5-Axis Vertical Machining Center

The Matsuura MAM72-63V is a simultaneous 5-axis vertical machining center with a reputation for accuracy and unattended reliability that has made it a staple in aerospace, medical, and precision job-shop environments. This 2014 example is built for lights-out production, pairing the machine's twin-pallet automatic pallet changer with a Fastems FPC 750 flexible pallet container that adds storage for up to twelve 19.69 in x 19.69 in pallets. It delivers full 5-axis motion for complex single-setup parts, with X and Y travels of 29.92 in and 33.27 in, a 12,000 RPM BT40 spindle, and a high-capacity 240-tool side-mount magazine that lets operators stage entire job families without interruption. Control is handled by the current-generation Matsuura G-Tech 30i, a Fanuc 30i-based CNC known for smooth 5-axis contouring and fast data handling, and the machine is equipped with Renishaw OMI-2 in-process probing and a chip conveyor for automatic tool setting, part measurement, and efficient swarf removal.

Compared with the earlier, smaller-envelope machines in the Matsuura MAM72 family such as the MAM72-35V, the MAM72-63V is a meaningful step up rather than simply a newer badge. It opens a substantially larger work envelope and a bigger pallet footprint, letting shops take on heavier, more complex components that never fit the smaller models, while the 240-tool magazine far outsizes the tool capacity of earlier configurations to keep long multi-operation runs fed. The current-generation G-Tech 30i control replaces the older Fanuc-based Matsuura interfaces with faster processing, richer 5-axis functions, and easier program handling, and combined with the integrated Fastems pallet automation the result is a true unmanned production cell rather than a stand-alone machine. For a buyer, that means running more parts, more accurately, with far less operator attention - the real production advantage of a modern 5-axis automation platform ready to drop onto your floor and start winning work.
