Used Matsuura Machining Centers for Sale

Who Matsuura isMatsuura Machinery Corporation is a Japanese machine tool builder based in Fukui City. The Matsuura factory was founded there in 1935, starting with lathes, and the company was formally incorporated in September 1960. Milling machines followed in 1957 and horizontal machining centers in 1983. The company manufactures and sells machining centers and metal laser sintering hybrid milling machines, and also sells CAD/CAM systems. It has overseas operations including Matsuura Machinery USA, Matsuura Europe GmbH in Germany and Matsuura Machinery Ltd in the UK.

What they are known forMatsuura's reputation rests on machining centers, and the two families that matter most on the used market are the H.Plus horizontal series and the VX vertical series. The H.Plus line is built around high rigidity and high speed in a compact footprint, with a direct-drive B-axis table and heavy expansion options for pallet changers and automatic tool changers. The VX series is the cost-effective heavy-duty vertical range, aimed at general machining across aluminium and hard-to-cut materials.

Model series buyers search forOn the horizontal side, the H.Plus-300 and H.Plus-405 are the most common used listings, with the larger H.Plus-500 and H.Plus-630/800 further up the range. The H.Plus-300 was recognised with a Machine Design Award in 2008, and the H.Plus-400 and H.Plus-500 were developed in 2015. On the vertical side, the VX-660, VX-1000 and VX-1500 cover the small to large end of the range; the VX-1000 and VX-1500 were developed in 2012. Matsuura also builds 5-axis machines under the MX, MAM72 and CUBLEX names, and the LUMEX hybrid metal 3D printer.

What to check when buying usedSpindle condition is the first thing to establish. Matsuura spindles are known for high-speed capability, and the VX range uses an auto-grease lubrication system, so ask for spindle hours, taper condition and any record of rebuilds. On H.Plus horizontals, inspect the direct-drive B-axis table for backlash and repeatability, and check the pallet changer and tool magazine — matrix magazines can carry hundreds of tools, and worn ATC mechanisms are expensive to correct. Control generation matters too: newer machines use the Matsuura G-Tech31i panel with a 15-inch touchscreen iHMI, while older units run earlier controls, which affects both usability and spare-part availability.

Service and partsMatsuura has a long-established presence in North America and Europe through its own subsidiaries, which helps with service access and genuine parts. Before committing, confirm which control is fitted, whether the machine was run in unmanned or lights-out production, and what documentation, parameters and maintenance history come with it.
