Quicktech i-Twin Series – 7-Axis Twin Spindle Mill-Turn Centers with B-Axis

The QuickTECH i-42 Twin and i-60 Twin are compact, high-precision, high-production mill-turn centers built on rigid Meehanite castings. With 7 axes, dual synchronized spindles, a shared 4-axis (X/Y/Z/B) gang-type vertical tool post, and 30 total tools, these machines deliver complete done-in-one machining for complex bar work in medical, aerospace, automotive, and electronics where accuracy, surface finish, and throughput matter most. Competes head-to-head with Haas, Doosan, DMG Mori, and Mazak.

Key Features

  • Twin spindles for done-in-one:
    • Main: 15 HP, 6,000 RPM, 42 mm (1.65″) bar on i-42 / 60 mm (2.36″) on i-60.
    • Sub: 7.5 HP, 6,000 RPM, 30 mm bar; synchronized part transfer; full C-axis on both.
  • Tooling system built for speed: 4-axis gang tooling (X/Y/Z + 360ยฐ B) shared between spindles; 30 tools total (9 OD, 9 ID, 12 live); 2 HP live-tool motor; near-zero tool-change time. Rigid tapping standard.
  • Motion platform: 35 mm roller ways, 32 mm ballscrews, high rapids; repeatability ยฑ0.00015″; positioning ยฑ0.0002″.
  • Controls: Mitsubishi M80A (10.4″ LCD, 3D simulation, Ethernet; 3-yr CNC warranty); optional Fanuc OiT-F Plus (15″ LCD, dual-channel, Manual Guidance i).
  • Production essentials included: collet chucks (DIN-173E-42B / DIN-185E-60B), parts catcher, parts & chip conveyors, 400 PSI coolant, bar feeder interface, auto lube.

Benefits for Metal Cutting Manufacturers

  • Stability & rigidity from Meehanite construction, 35 mm roller guideways, and 32 mm double-anchored, pre-tensioned ballscrews keep tolerances tight under heavy cutting.
  • High accuracy & ultra-fine finishes via P4 precision spindle bearings, synchronized transfer, and full C-axis control on both spindles.
  • Cycle time reduction with twin spindles and B-axis live tooling for back-working and multi-face milling in one setup. Rigid tapping is standard.
  • Reliability & control: standard Mitsubishi M80A CNC with 3D graphics and Ethernet; Fanuc OiT-F Plus optional.
  • Production-ready: parts catcher, parts conveyor, 400 PSI high-pressure coolant, chip conveyor, and bar feeder interface included.
  • Smaller footprint, big capacity: approx. 138″ ร— 71″ ร— 75″, 8,360 lbsโ€”easy to place, built to cut.

Ideal Cutting Applications

  • Medical instruments, implants, and precision surgical components
  • Aerospace fasteners, fluid connectors, and hydraulic fittings
  • Automotive shafts, couplings, and sensor housings
  • Hydraulic/pneumatic valve bodies and spools
  • Electronics connectors, miniature housings, and high-precision general production turning
