Quicktech T8 Series – T8 Compact (2-Axis), T8 Mill (3-Axis) & T8 Twin Y (6-Axis) Mill-Turn Centers with Turrets
The QuickTECH T8 Series includes the T8 Compact (2-axis), T8 Mill (3-axis), and T8 Twin Y (6-axis) CNC mill-turn centers — engineered for manufacturers who demand flexibility, precision, and reliability in a compact footprint. Each model is cast from high-quality Meehanite iron for maximum rigidity and vibration damping, ensuring consistent cutting performance and extended tool life. With advanced Mitsubishi or Fanuc controls and a range of configurations, the T8 Series delivers outstanding value for industries such as automotive, medical, defense, and general machining, where consistent accuracy and efficient throughput are essential.
Comparable to Haas, Doosan, DMG Mori, and Mazak machines, the T8 Series provides exceptional precision, powerful spindle performance, and a lower overall cost of ownership.
Key Features
- Powerful Spindle System: 20HP main spindle with 2.5″ (65mm) bar capacity for smooth and accurate metal removal. The T8 Twin Y adds a synchronized sub-spindle (7.5HP) for simultaneous front- and back-working.
- Rigid Construction: One-piece 75° slant-bed Meehanite casting provides superior vibration control and cutting rigidity across all models.
- Precision Motion System: 35mm Hiwin roller-type linear guideways and 32mm pre-tensioned double-anchored ballscrews ensure accuracy to ±0.0002″ and repeatability to ±0.00015″.
- Advanced Turret Tooling Systems:
- T8 Compact: 12-station BMT-55 servo turret for efficient 2-axis turning and fast indexing.
- T8 Mill: 12-station live BMT-55 turret with 5HP milling motor, 4000 RPM live tooling, and rigid tapping capability.
- T8 Twin Y: 12-station live BMT-55 turret with full linear Y-axis travel (+/-1.57″), allowing gang tooling up to 36 tools for complex milling and cross-drilling on both spindles.
- CNC Control Options: Mitsubishi M80A with 10.4″ color touchscreen, 3D solid graphics, and Navi-Lathe conversational programming (Fanuc OiT-F Plus optional).
- Integrated Automation Ready: Factory bar feeder interface and compatibility with A+ Automation robot tending packages or TRACER bar feeders for lights-out production.
- Standard Equipment: Hydraulic 3-jaw chuck, parts catcher, chip conveyor, 75 PSI coolant pump, and auto-lubrication system included for complete turnkey operation.
