Quantum-Nishida Q-NC6H-12 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a large worktable measuring 95.2" (L) by 40.4" (W), capable of supporting workpieces up to 5,500 lbs, making it ideal for heavy-duty machining tasks. It is equipped with a vertical spindle featuring a #40 taper and a maximum speed of 8,000 RPM, powered by a 6 HP motor rated for 30-minute operation. The tooling system consists of a manual tool carrier holding a single tool, supporting quick manual tool changes. The machine operates on a 3-axis setup with travels of 62.2" in the X-axis, 34" in the Y-axis, and 31.4" in the Z-axis. Each axis is capable of a maximum feed rate of 393 inches per minute and rapid traverse speeds up to 787 inches per minute, enabling efficient and precise material removal and positioning. The combination of a large, heavy-duty table, moderate spindle power and speed, and robust axis travel makes this vertical machining center suitable for medium to large-sized parts requiring moderate to heavy cutting forces. Its manual tool change and single-tool configuration point to applications where setup flexibility and simplicity are prioritized over high-speed automatic tool changes. This machine is well-suited for machining operations demanding heavy workpiece support and reliable vertical spindle milling with precise control over multi-axis movements.
