The Matsuura MX-330 is a compact 5-axis vertical machining center built on the reliability that has made Matsuura a trusted name in aerospace, medical, mold, and precision job shop environments. This 2016 unit offers X 17.13 / Y 18.31 / Z 22.05 inch travels and a trunnion-style rotary table with a 9.84 inch diameter working surface, A-axis tilt from -125 to +10 degrees, and 360 degree continuous C-axis rotation for full simultaneous 5-axis machining. It accepts workpieces up to 12.99 inches in diameter by 12.59 inches tall and table loads up to 176 lbs. The 15,000 RPM CAT40 spindle is driven by a 20 HP motor, and 1,574.8 ipm rapid traverse on X, Y, and Z keeps non-cutting time low. A 60-station chain-type automatic tool changer handles tools up to 3.14 inches in diameter with adjacent tools, 11.81 inches long, and 22.05 lbs. The machine runs the Matsuura G-Tech 31i, a Fanuc-based CNC control with a touch screen interface, and is equipped with rigid tapping, spindle orientation, through-spindle coolant, a Cool Jet coolant unit, and an LNS Turbo chip conveyor. Approximate machine weight is 13,860 lbs.
Compared with Matsuura's earlier multi-axis platforms such as the MAM72-35V, the MX-330 was engineered as a dedicated, space-efficient simultaneous 5-axis machine for shops moving into multi-axis work without giving up floor space. Its integrated trunnion table, 40 m/min rapids on all three linear axes, and the newer-generation G-Tech 31i touch screen control make 5-axis setup and programming more approachable than on older Matsuura designs. The 60-tool chain magazine on this unit doubles the standard 30-tool drum, cutting tool swaps between jobs and supporting longer unattended runs. For a buyer, that combination means a more capable 5-axis cell in a compact footprint, with the rigidity and accuracy Matsuura is known for.
