How much does the Feeler QMP-23APC cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Feeler QMP-23APC that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
Pair a fast 30-taper spindle with a pallet changer and the idle time in a small-part cycle nearly disappears. That is the case for the Feeler QMP-23APC, whose pallets measure 580 x 410 mm (22.8 x 16.1 in) and carry 120 kg (265 lb) each.
Feeler states that the QMP series supports an APC (Automatic Pallet Changer) system with pallet change times between 6 and 10 seconds. Put that beside the machine's own motion: 48 m/min (1,890 ipm) rapids on all three axes and a 12,000 rpm spindle on a 7/24 No.30 taper. When a drilling and tapping cycle lasts a minute or two, an operator unloading and reloading at the machine can cost as much time as the cut. Here that work happens on the outside pallet.
Travels are 580 mm (22.8 in) in X, 420 mm (16.5 in) in Y and 510 mm (20.1 in) in Z, identical to the fixed-table QMP-23, and the pallet lies fully inside X and Y. The magazine holds 20 tools.
The 120 kg limit and the No.30 taper point the same way: light parts, light cuts, high counts. Think of valve bodies, connector housings, small die-cast covers and similar components clamped several at a time on a fixture plate. For hard or brittle materials Feeler offers an ultrasonic cutting system on the series, and a 20,000 rpm spindle is available for small-diameter tools. The table gives no spindle power, so heavier milling should be discussed with the maker first.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Pallet changer with change times between 6 and 10 seconds quoted for the series
- 48 m/min (1,890 ipm) rapids on X, Y and Z
- 12,000 rpm spindle on a light No.30 taper
- Pallet of 580 x 410 mm sits fully inside the 580 x 420 mm X and Y travel
- 510 mm (20.1 in) of Z travel for multi-part fixtures with height
Limitations
- 120 kg (265 lb) per pallet including the fixture
- No.30 taper restricts cutter size and depth of cut
- 20 tools shared between both pallets
- Feeler gives a range for pallet change time, not a figure for this model

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Feeler says the QMP series supports an APC system with pallet change times between 6 and 10 seconds. The spec table has no row for it, so the exact time for the QMP-23APC should be confirmed with the maker.
02
A pallet is 580 x 410 mm (22.8 x 16.1 in) and the maximum loading weight is 120 kg (265 lb). The fixed-table QMP-23 is rated for 300 kg on a 650 x 420 mm table.
03
No.30. The table lists a 7/24 Taper No.30 at 12,000 rpm for the QMP-23APC. Feeler's larger pallet model in this series, the QMP-32APC, is listed with a No.40 taper at 10,000 rpm.
04
An ultrasonic cutting system for brittle or high-hardness materials, and a 20,000 rpm spindle to support small-diameter tools, high-speed cutting and precision machining. Both are described for the QMP series as a whole.
