QUANTUM-NISHIDA Q-500H HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Quantum-Nishida Q-500H Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance 4-axis CNC machine engineered for precision and productivity in demanding production environments. Featuring a robust 19.7" x 19.7" table, it supports workpieces up to 1,764 lbs, making it ideal for medium to large part machining. The horizontal spindle utilizes a #50 taper and delivers 30 HP (30-minute rating) at a maximum speed of 6,000 RPM, providing ample power for heavy-duty cutting operations. Tooling is managed by a reliable automatic tool changer (ATC) with a standard 40-tool capacity, expandable to 60 tools, and a chip-to-chip tool change time of 15 seconds for efficient cycle times. A standard pallet changer with two pallets enables continuous operation, maximizing uptime and throughput. The machine offers 4-axis travel with X, Y, and Z axes each providing generous movement—30.7" (X), 30.7" (Y), and 25.0" (Z)—and supports rapid traverse rates up to 1,181 ipm on all linear axes, ensuring fast positioning and reduced non-cutting time. Maximum feed rates are 393 ipm, allowing for aggressive material removal while maintaining accuracy. Designed for versatility, the Q-500H is well-suited for complex, high-precision machining tasks across a wide range of industries, combining durability, speed, and advanced automation in a compact footprint.
