QUANTUM QV5-3000 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

The QUANTUM QV5-3000 is a robust 5-axis vertical machining center engineered for large-scale production and complex part manufacturing. Featuring exceptional X-axis travel of 118.1 inches, combined with 39.4 inches Y-axis and 29.5 inches Z-axis travel, this machine accommodates oversized workpieces typical of aerospace and heavy industrial applications. The 12,000 RPM CAT 50 spindle with 25/30 HP motor delivers substantial cutting power for aggressive material removal in steel and aluminum. The 60-position automatic tool changer enables extended unattended operation, while simultaneous A/B-axis indexing (±40 degrees) supports multi-directional toolpath execution. Integrated environmental controls include a hydraulic spindle oil cooling system, spindle air dryer, and air lubricator for consistent thermal stability and precision. The lift-up chip conveyor with drum filter system efficiently manages debris removal, while the disc oil/coolant separator maintains fluid integrity. Dual nitrogen-balancing cylinders provide smooth Z-axis motion stability. Additional operator conveniences include interior work lamps, 3-color patrol light indication, chip wash-down system, and a movable manual pulse generator for rapid positioning adjustments. The Z-axis motor brake enhances safety during tool changes and emergency stops, making this machine suitable for job shops and contract manufacturers requiring versatile, high-capacity production capabilities with advanced surface finish control.
