i-42 Eco / i-60 Eco 4-Axis / 5 Axis Turn / Mill Center with Tailstock

Description
The QuickTECH i-42 Eco / i-60 Eco is a compact, high precision, high production CNC turn / mill center cast from Meehanite iron. Available in both 42mm and 60mm bar capacities, this unique bar processing center provides complete single op part machining including all complex milling functions. The i-42 Eco /i-60 Eco features 4 axes (5 axes with optional B axis), 1 turning spindles, a tailstock, and a total capacity of 17 tools (23 tools with B axis). A 4 axis (X,Y,Z,B) gang type vertical tool post serves the spindle.

Turning Spindle
The main spindle sports a 15HP high torque spindle motor. The main spindle has a 42mm bar capacity (60mm for i-60). The spindle features a full continuous C axis with braking system and are both standard with 42mm DIN-173E-42B collet chucks (60mm DIN-185E-60B for i-60). The main and sub-spindle are synchronized for fast and accurate part transfer. Both spindles employ P4 high precision bearings for stability and heavy cutting ability.

Tooling System
A unique single 4 axis gang tooling system consisting of true linear X,Y, and Z axes plus an optional rotary B axis. The tool post features 6 O.D. turning tools, 5 I.D. turning tools, and 6 live tools (12 with B axis). The fixed live tools are 3 axial and 3 radial but can also be mounted in a continuous 360 degree B axis allowing 12 tools. The live tools are powered by a 2HP spindle motor. Rigid tapping is standard. The tool post has a true linear Y axis for off center milling operations. Tool change time is near ZERO.

Construction
The machine frame and all major components are made from the highest quality cast iron. The machine weighs in at an impressive 6,050 lbs. The i-42/60 Eco uses large, 35mm Hiwin roller type linear guideways in all linear axes. The 35mm rails increase stability and allow heavier cutting. The large 32mm ballscrews are double anchored, pre-tensioned and direct coupled to the Mitsubishi servo motors thus promoting precision.

CNC Controls
The machine is equipped standard with the fully featured and powerful Mitsubishi M80A control with 10.4” LCD. All spindles and axes use Mitsubishi AC servo motors and Mitsubishi amplifiers. The completely matched Mitsubishi CNC system provides extreme reliability and high performance. A 3 year warranty is standard on the CNC system. Optionally, the Fanuc OiT-F Plus with 10.4” LCD is available. The Fanuc system utilizes all Fanuc servo and spindle motors and drives and comes with a standard 2 year warranty.

Standard Features
The machine come with standard features necessary for production turning such as collet chucks, parts catcher, parts conveyor, 400 PSI coolant pump, chip conveyor, and bar feeder interface. In addition, the machine is equipped with a standard tailstock with programmable quill. A fully programmable tailstock, positioned by ballscrew and servo motor is optional.
