Our best estimate for the Matsuura LM-500 is $250,000 - $400,000. This is an estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class, not a quote from Matsuura Machinery; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/matsuura-lm-500#price; the request is passed to Matsuura Machinery or an authorised dealer.
It comes with 20 tools as standard. The table gives a maximum tool capacity of 338 and a maximum pallet capacity of 91. It does not name the storage system behind those maximums, so ask Matsuura which configuration provides them.
The listed maximums are Φ160 mm (Φ6.29 in) in diameter and H230 mm (H9.05 in) in height, with a maximum work load of 20 kg (44 lb.). X travel is 500 mm (19.7 in) and Z travel 300 mm (11.8 in).
HSK-A50. That is a smaller interface than the BT40 found on the larger V.Plus-550, and it suits the small end mills and drills used on parts of this size. The table does not list a spindle speed, so confirm it before planning cutting data.
Both have 500 mm (19.7 in) of X, 300 mm (11.8 in) of Z, 20 tools as standard and a Φ160 × H230 mm workpiece limit. The LV-500 is listed with a 46,000 rpm BT30 spindle. The LM-500 uses HSK-A50 and lists maximums of 338 tools and 91 pallets for automated running.
