QUICK-TECH T8-HY STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The 2017 QUICK-TECH T8-HY Static Smooth Drum Roller is a sophisticated 9-axis hybrid CNC lathe designed for high-precision, multi-function machining. It supports a bar capacity of 2.56 inches and a maximum turning length of up to 13.8 inches depending on configuration. The machine is equipped with dual turning spindles and dual live milling spindles, both capable of speeds up to 4,000 RPM. Spindle motor options include a powerful 20 HP integral motor for the Compact/Twin Y configuration, a 15 HP motor for the Hybrid setup, and an alternative 7.5 HP motor variant for the Hybrid model. Swing over the cross slide measures 11.8 inches, and over the bed 19.7 inches, enabling the machining of comparatively large workpieces. The B-axis allows full 360-degree rotation with indexing times of 0.3 seconds for 90 degrees and 6 seconds for a full revolution, enhancing complex angle and contour machining. Tooling capacity is robust, with a minimum tool capacity of 38, accommodating 12 live tool stations with 1-inch or 0.75-inch square shank sizes. The turret index time is rapid at 0.3 seconds per station and 0.5 seconds for 180 degrees. The boring bar capacity varies between 1.25 inches and 0.75 inches (ER-20). The machine’s C-axis offers high-precision increments of 0.001°, making it suitable for detailed contour turning and milling tasks. Overall, the T8-HY combines extensive axes control, live tooling, rapid indexing, and powerful spindle motors in a compact form, optimized for complex mill-turn operations requiring high accuracy and efficiency.
