Continental Machining Company in Albuquerque, New Mexico has been delivering precision parts since 1965. With deep roots in aerospace, defense, and advanced manufacturing, the shop is no stranger to complex parts, tight tolerances, and evolving production demands.
So when owner Kelly Denison began looking for a new machine to expand their capabilities, he worked with his local Matsuura Distributor, Productivity, Inc. and turned to a name known for precision, reliability, and true unattended operation: Matsuura.
The Matsuura MX-330 PC10 stood out immediately. Designed for high-mix, low-volume production, the MX-330 delivers full 5-axis machining with 10 pallets and up to 90 tools. For shops like Continental that run a variety of materials from titanium to plastics, and need to keep jobs moving without constant operator attention, the MX-330 with PC10 makes a measurable difference.
“We’d buy another one – possibly the bigger iteration!”
That’s not just a compliment. It’s a clear endorsement from a shop that runs multiple brands and knows what works on the floor. Denison and his team chose the MX-330 PC10 for its:
-
Repeatable accuracy across long runs
-
Seamless pallet automation
-
Efficient spindle utilization
-
Trusted support from Matsuura
The MX-330’s compact footprint, large work envelope, and fully integrated pallet system allow for extended run times without sacrificing part quality. Continental can now run more jobs overnight or over the weekend, freeing up their team to focus on setup, inspection, and new work.
“It’s one seamless interface that just works.”
Matsuura’s reputation for service and machine longevity was also part of the decision. Every detail of the MX-330 is built with uptime in mind, from the rigid cast construction to the intuitive software that helps programmers and operators keep production moving.
For Continental Machining, adding the Matsuura MX-330 PC10 wasn’t just a machine upgrade. It was a shift toward a smarter, more productive shop floor. And according to Kelly Denison, the results speak for themselves.
