QuickTech T-Series Turret Mill-Turn Centers

The T-Series uses BMT turrets for versatility across a range of turning and mill-turn applications. The T6 line (Compact, Mill, SM sub-spindle) provides 2 to 5-axis turning and milling with 42 mm bar capacity and 12-station BMT-55 turrets. The T8 line scales up with larger bar capacity (65 mm on main spindle), Y-axis capability, twin spindles, and the flagship T8 Hybrid, which pairs a BMT power turret on the main spindle with a full 360-degree B-axis gang slide on the sub-spindle for 9-axis simultaneous processing.

QuickTech i-Series Gang-Tooling Mill-Turn Centers

The i-Series uses gang-type vertical tool posts with B-axis milling spindles for maximum speed on small complex parts. The i-42 and i-60 platforms (42 mm and 60 mm bar capacity) are available in four configurations: Eco (single spindle with tailstock), Twin (twin spindle, 7-axis, 30 tools), Robo (integrated 6-axis Mitsubishi robot for automated loading), and Ultimate (10-axis, dual B-axes, twin spindles, up to 56 tools). The S-ATM series adds a 24-tool automatic tool changer with HSK-40T milling spindle in a compact 9-axis twin spindle format.

What to Look for When Buying a Used QuickTech

QuickTech mill-turn centers are compact, multi-axis machines built on Meehanite iron castings with gang-type or turret tooling systems. Used units can deliver excellent value, but the complexity of simultaneous multi-axis machining makes thorough inspection critical.

Test both spindles for runout, vibration, and thermal stability. On twin spindle models (Twin, Ultimate, T8 Hybrid, S-ATM), verify main and sub-spindle independently. Check collet chuck clamping force and condition. Test C-axis positioning accuracy on both spindles. On machines with integral motor sub-spindles, listen for bearing noise and verify smooth operation across the full RPM range. Confirm synchronized spindle handoff for reliable part transfer.

Verify B-axis and gang tooling system condition. QuickTech's B-axis milling spindles are central to the machine's capability. Test full 360-degree rotation for smoothness and accuracy. On Ultimate models with dual B-axes, verify both independently. Check live tool spindle runout and power. On gang-type tool posts, confirm all tool positions for secure clamping and repeatable positioning. On T8 Hybrid models, test both the BMT turret and the B-axis gang slide.

Evaluate the CNC control and automation systems. QuickTech machines use Mitsubishi M80A or M830S controls (Fanuc OiT-F Plus on some models). Verify all axes home correctly and test simultaneous multi-axis motion. On Robo models with integrated 6-axis Mitsubishi robots, cycle the robot through load, unload, and part-flip sequences. Confirm bar feeder interface functionality and high-pressure coolant system operation (400 PSI standard).

QuickTech T-Series (Turret Models)

T6 Compact, T6 Mill & T6-SM

The T6 Compact is a 2-axis CNC turning center with 42 mm bar capacity and 12-station turret. The T6 Mill adds C-axis and a BMT-55 live turret with all 12 stations capable of driven tooling. The T6-SM adds a sub-spindle (25 mm bar, 5 HP) for back-working, making it a complete done-in-one solution for small turned-milled parts.

T8 Compact, T8 Mill & T8 Twin Y

The T8 line scales up with 65 mm main spindle bar capacity. The T8 Compact provides 2-axis turning, the T8 Mill adds C-axis and live tooling, and the T8 Twin Y delivers 6-axis capability with twin spindles, Y-axis on the turret, and simultaneous front/back processing.

T8 Hybrid

The T8 Hybrid is the flagship turret model: a 9-axis twin spindle mill-turn center combining a 12-station BMT power turret on the main spindle (65 mm bar) with a 4-axis gang slide featuring a full 360-degree B-axis on the sub-spindle (32 mm bar). The Flexible Duo System runs two programs simultaneously, reducing cycle time by up to 45%. Total capacity: 38+ tools.

QuickTech i-Series (Gang-Tooling Models)

i-42 / i-60 Eco

The Eco is a compact 4-axis (5 with optional B-axis) mill-turn center with single spindle, tailstock, and 17 tools (23 with B-axis). Available in 42 mm and 60 mm bar capacities. The gang-type vertical tool post with X, Y, Z, and optional B-axis serves the main spindle. Ideal for job shops entering multi-axis mill-turn work.

i-42 / i-60 Twin

The Twin adds a sub-spindle (30 mm bar) for 7-axis capability with 30 total tools. A shared 4-axis (X/Y/Z/B) gang-type tool post serves both C-axis spindles. Main spindle offers 42 mm or 60 mm bar capacity with 15 HP motor. Front and back processing run simultaneously for reduced cycle times.

i-42 / i-60 Robo

The Robo integrates a 6-axis Mitsubishi S-series robot for automated loading, unloading, and part flipping (up to 13 lbs). The robot fits within the machine enclosure without impeding operator access. Available with optional multi-tray pallet stacker for extended unattended operation. Four axes standard (5 with optional B-axis), 17 to 23 tools.

i-42 / i-60 Ultimate

The Ultimate is QuickTech's top-of-line gang-tooling machine: 10 axes, twin spindles, dual 360-degree B-axis milling spindles, and up to 56 tools. Each spindle is served by its own 4-axis gang tool post. The main spindle tool post carries 6 OD, 5 ID, and 12 live tools; the sub-spindle tool post carries 5 OD, 9 ID, and 12 live tools. Available in 42 mm and 60 mm bar capacities.

S-32 / S-42 ATM

The S-ATM series combines twin spindles, B-axis milling spindle, and a 24-tool automatic tool changer with HSK-40T taper in a compact 9-axis format. The ATC provides 10,000 RPM milling capability for complex contouring and angular features beyond standard live tooling.
