THE NEW SOLUTION FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE MACHINING

Building upon the experience and success gained from the MAM Series of horizontal machining centers, the all-new H.Max-500 takes advantage of latest machine tool design concepts to
move productivity to levels previously unattainable. Key design goals have clearly been to
reduce non-cutting time still further while maximizing powerful and high quality cutting
performance.Whatever the application, the H.Max-500 can be customized exactly to your needs.

The spindle utilises grease lubricated ceramic bearings, which

have excellent rigidity, generate less heat, and are maintenance
free.
The spindle and motor are connected by Matsuura's unique gear
coupling. This has a high helical rigidity, thereby virtually eliminating backlash and transferring maximum torque.
Through and around spindle, high pressure coolant is available
(up to a maximum of 7MPa ) for a wide range of applications,

Touch Screen Operation.

Both the operator and ATC panels employ 'touch screen'
technology. The graphic user interface provides machine status
displays and the 'touch screen' allows for easier operation. A
combination that can greatly reduce machine recovery times.

MATSUURA HANDY-MAN SYSTEM

EFFICIENT DUAL TYPE LIFT UP CHIP CONVEYOR WITH DRUM FILTER (HINGE +SCRAPER)

The HANDY-MAN system is optimized by Matsuura to create

a more precise, user friendly, man-machine interface.
Usable functions are offered which support programming,
setting, running and maintenance to assist the operator.

Larger chips are extracted directly

by the hinge conveyor and smaller
chips are trapped on the drum filter
and removed by the scraper conveyor. The system constantly
removes the chips and makes the
maintenance process easier.
