Absolute Machine Tools’ QuickTech T8 Hybrid mill-turn processing center features 9 total axes, 2 turning spindles, 2 live milling spindles and a minimum capacity of 38 tools for complete part machining, including complex milling functions.

The main spindle features a 4,000-rpm, 15-hp, high-torque integral spindle motor with either a three-jaw chuck or collet chuck as standard. The subspindle has a 4,000-rpm, 7.5-hp high-torque integral spindle motor for backworking. Its bar capacity is 65 mm (2.55") with the 203-mm (8") three-jaw chuck or 60 mm (2.36") with the DIN-185E-60B collet chuck. Subspindle bar capacity is 32 mm (1.259") with its standard DIN-173E-42B collet chuck. Maximum turning length is 350 mm (13.8").

Synchronized for fast and accurate part transfer, both spindles feature a full continuous C axis with braking system and employ P4 high precision bearings for stability and heavy cutting ability.

According to the company, the power, precision and versatility of the mill-turn center enables it to totally machine an extensive range of complex part sizes, contours and configurations. The high-production CNC milling and turning center features a rigid 12-station BMT-55 live tooling turret with a 5-hp spindle motor and 80 mm of true linear Y-axis travel. The turret has fast servomotor indexing and rigid hydraulic clamping — all 12 stations can be live.

The subspindle features a 4-axis gang tooling system consisting of linear X, Y and Z axes as well as a rotary 360-degree B axis. The sub tool post features 5 OD turning tools, 9 ID turning tools and 12 live tools, the latter of which are mounted in a continuous 360-degree Baxis and are powered by a 2-hp spindle motor. Rigid tapping is standard in both the turret and the B axis.
