How much does the Feeler QMP-32APC cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Feeler QMP-32APC 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
The Feeler QMP-32APC is the No.40 pallet-changer machine of the QMP series. It carries work on 700 x 500 mm (27.6 x 19.7 in) pallets rated for 200 kg (441 lb) and cuts with a 10,000 rpm belt type spindle.
One figure in its column stands apart from the fixed-table model. X travel is listed as 800 mm (31.5 in), where the QMP-32 has 820 mm. Feeler's corresponding pallet machines in other series keep the fixed-table X figure, so treat the 800 mm as the maker's printed value and confirm it if the last few millimetres matter. Y is 520 mm (20.5 in) and Z is 505 mm (19.9 in).
Pallet changing is central to how the series is presented. The page heading speaks of continuous machining with automatic pallet exchange, and the text gives pallet change times between 6 and 10 seconds for the APC system. With X and Y rapids of 48 m/min (1,890 ipm), 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) on Z and 24 tools, the machine is laid out to keep non-cutting time short from every direction.
Who needs the No.40 spindle on a 200 kg pallet? Shops whose light parts still need a decent face mill, a larger drill or rigid tapping in steel: brackets, manifolds, pump housings. For pure drill-and-tap work on aluminium the smaller QMP-23APC, with its No.30 taper at 12,000 rpm, is the quicker tool. Feeler also offers a 20,000 rpm spindle and an ultrasonic cutting system across the series.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Each pallet is 700 x 500 mm (27.6 x 19.7 in) with a maximum loading weight of 200 kg (441 lb). The travels of 800 x 520 mm in X and Y extend beyond the pallet on both axes.
02
That is what Feeler's table prints for the QMP-32APC, against 820 mm for the QMP-32. The page gives no explanation. It may be a real reduction from the pallet mechanism or a typing difference, so ask the maker for the confirmed stroke.
03
A 7/24 Taper No.40 spindle at 10,000 rpm. Feeler describes the spindles of the QMP-32 and QMP-40 as belt type, and says a 20,000 rpm spindle can be fitted to QMP machines for small-diameter tools.
04
The VMP-32APC has the same pallet size and 200 kg rating, with 820 mm of X, X and Y rapids of 40 m/min and 22 tools. The QMP-32APC is listed with 48 m/min rapids and 24 tools, and its series page quotes a pallet change time, which the VMP page does not.
