Matsuura launches large-capacity 5-axis machine

Matsuura has announced the launch of the last in the Cublex series – the large-capacity Cublex-63, a multi- tasking, mill-turn, multi-pallet 5-axis machine.

Offering a maximum work size of 630mm x 450mm with a loading capacity of 350kg, the Cublex-63 has been designed for true multi-tasking process integration – all coupled with Matsuura’s ‘unmanned running’ functionality.

The spindle lock design assures high performance when either milling or turning – and tailored options mean that the Cublex-63 can be used as a machine tool in all industries and material processing.

For optimal process integration the Cublex-63 can be supplied with a grinding function.

A selection of pallet and tool changer variants is available, along with the usual line up of Matsuura designed and built spindle options.

Standard spindle speed is 12,000rev/min HSK-A63W (ICTM Standard) equipped with an AC 15/22kW motor.

Cublex-63 is equipped with a dedicated direct-drive motor for the rotary table axis (C axis).

This motor combines high speed and accuracy for milling, together with high-speed rotation (1,300rev/min) for turning.

Offering full process integration and large capacity from a small machine footprint, the Cublex-63 (twin pallet) is 3m in width x 6.5m in length – including rear facing coolant and swarf management system.

Matsuura will exhibit the Cublex-63 at EMO 2009 in October, which will be held in Milan, Italy.

Matsuura can be found in hall 2 on stand G02.
