MAM72: 30 YEARS OF TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION

MAM72: 30 YEARS OF TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION

In 1991, Matsuura introduced a new corporate motto: “Humans, Earth, and Technology.” This motto represented our individuality and our respect for employees, customers, and the Earth.

The objective was to put people first, while at the same time striving to be a global company helping to create a better future through its products.

In 1991, predicting the need for reducing working hours, Matsuura developed the 5-axis MAM72 series capable of unmanned operation for 72 consecutive hours and ushering in and defining a new age of unmanned palletized and fully automated pallet pool CNC machining production.

In the beginning of Japan’s Heisei Era, regulations on working conditions in manufacturing put strict controls on overtime work and annual working hours. The MAM72-1S was developed in response to this movement and offered reduced setup time and a cell system for unmanned operation, improving conditions for workers without sacrificing production.
