Quicktech T8 Hybrid 9-Axis Mill-Turn Center with Turret & B-Axis
The Quicktech T8 Hybrid combines the versatility of a 9-axis twin-spindle CNC mill-turn center with both a BMT-55 turret and a 4-axis gang slide featuring a 360° B-axis, enabling complete, complex machining in one compact footprint. Designed for high-precision, high-mix production, the T8 Hybrid is ideal for aerospace, medical, defense, and precision automotive manufacturers that require intricate geometries, ultra-fine surface finishes, and full done-in-one capability.
Competitors include Haas, Doosan, DMG Mori, and Mazak, but Quicktech’s hybrid turret-and-B-axis architecture delivers unmatched flexibility and value in its class.
Key Features
- 9-Axis Machining Platform: Combines dual turning spindles, two live milling spindles, a full 360° B-axis, and a true linear Y-axis for complete simultaneous control.
- Dual Spindle System:
• Main Spindle – 15 HP motor, 8″ chuck (65 mm bar capacity) with C-axis braking system.
• Sub Spindle – 7.5 HP integral motor, 42 mm collet capacity, fully synchronized for accurate part handoff. - Hybrid Tooling System:
• 12-station BMT-55 live turret (5 HP motor, 80 mm Y-axis travel) with rigid hydraulic clamping and full live capability.
• 4-axis gang slide (X, Y, Z + B-axis) with 12 live tools powered by 2 HP motor for secondary milling and back-working operations. - Rigid Construction: One-piece Meehanite iron 75° slant bed; 35 mm Hiwin roller guideways; 32 mm double-anchored ballscrews ensure accuracy and thermal stability under load.
- High-Performance Control: Mitsubishi M830S with 15″ LCD touchscreen; Fanuc OiT-F Plus optional. Includes 3D graphics, Ethernet connectivity, and SSS high-finish control.
- Cycle-Time Efficiency: 1181 ipm rapid traverse rates and simultaneous multi-axis motion reduce setup and cut times.
- Automation-Ready: Standard bar feeder interface, parts catcher, parts conveyor, chip conveyor, and 400 PSI high-pressure coolant pump included.
- Service & Reliability: 12-month machine warranty and 3-year Mitsubishi CNC warranty supported by Absolute Machine Tools’ nationwide service network.

Benefits for Metal Cutting Manufacturers
The Quicktech T8 Hybrid allows parts manufacturers to machine complete components in a single setup—eliminating multiple machines, operators, and part-handling steps. Its rigid Meehanite-cast 75° slant bed and 35 mm roller-type linear guideways provide exceptional stability, rigidity, and vibration control for superior accuracy and surface quality.
Both main and sub-spindles feature synchronized C-axes for seamless part transfer, ensuring tight concentricity and reduced cycle times. The Mitsubishi M830S CNC control, equipped with Super Smooth Surface (SSS) and High-Speed/High-Accuracy Modes I & II, produces mirror-finish precision on even the most demanding materials.
Manufacturers gain higher reliability, extended tool life, and lower cost per part—ideal for contract shops focused on uptime, repeatability, and throughput.
