DMC Q3 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The DMC Q3 Horizontal Machining Center is a compact, high-precision CNC turning center designed for efficient machining of small to medium-sized workpieces. Featuring a horizontal spindle orientation, it provides optimal chip removal and enhanced rigidity for consistent surface quality and accuracy. The main spindle delivers a maximum turning diameter of 2.760" and a turning length of 5.910", with a chuck diameter of 3.000" and a maximum swing of 9.060". The spindle operates at speeds up to 8,000 RPM standard, with an optional upgrade to 10,000 RPM, and is rated at 5.0 HP for reliable performance in demanding applications. The machine is equipped with a gang tool carrier, supporting up to 5 turning tools and 5 rotary tools, allowing for versatile tooling configurations. With two axes of motion, the X-axis offers a travel of 7.870" and the Z-axis 7.090", both capable of a maximum feed rate and rapid traverse of 591 ipm for fast, efficient material removal and positioning. The design supports single simultaneous cutting tool operation, ensuring precise control during machining cycles. The DMC Q3 is ideal for high-volume production environments requiring compact footprint, robust construction, and consistent accuracy in horizontal turning operations.
