Our best estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class — not a quote from Quaser. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Quaser MF400 is a 40 taper machining center with a round Ø320 mm (Ø12.6") table and travels of 410 mm (16.1") in X, 610 mm (24.0") in Y and 510 mm (20.1") in Z. Quaser gives the maximum swing as Ø400 mm (Ø15.8") and the maximum work piece size as Ø400 x 300 mm (Ø15.8" x 11.8").

Two things stand out in those figures. Y is the longest axis, 610 mm (24.0") against 410 mm (16.1") of X, the reverse of a conventional vertical machine with a long table. And the part is limited by the swing more than by the travels: the Ø400 mm (Ø15.8") swing nearly matches the X stroke.

The table load is 100 kg (220 lbs), and that is the figure to check first. A solid steel part filling the Ø400 x 300 mm (Ø15.8" x 11.8") envelope would be well over it, so the full envelope is for hollow or partly machined parts, and the fixture has to stay light.

Spindle speed is listed as 12K ~ 20K, a span, not one figure, so confirm which spindle a quoted machine carries. The magazine holds 30 tools as standard. With every pot full a tool can be 76.2 mm (3") in diameter; with the neighbouring pots empty that rises to 125 mm (4.9"). Tool length can reach 280 mm (11.0"). The spec table on this page gives no spindle power, torque or rapid traverse figure, so those belong on the list of questions for a quotation.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Ø400 x 300 mm (Ø15.8" x 11.8") maximum work piece size on a Ø320 mm (Ø12.6") table
610 mm (24.0") of Y travel and 510 mm (20.1") of Z alongside 410 mm (16.1") of X
30 tools as standard, taking tools up to 125 mm (4.9") in diameter when the neighbouring pots are empty
Tool length up to 280 mm (11.0"), useful for reaching into deep features
Spindle speed listed as 12K ~ 20K on a 40 taper

Limitations

Table load is 100 kg (220 lbs), which the fixture and the part have to share
With every pot full, tool diameter is limited to 76.2 mm (3")
The spec table gives no spindle power, torque or rapid traverse figure, so those have to come from a quotation

Best For

Small parts within the Ø400 x 300 mm (Ø15.8" x 11.8") work piece size Light workpieces and fixtures inside the 100 kg (220 lbs) table load Deep features that need tools up to 280 mm (11.0") long

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size part fits on the MF400?

Quaser lists a maximum work piece size of Ø400 x 300 mm (Ø15.8" x 11.8") and a maximum swing of Ø400 mm (Ø15.8"), on a Ø320 mm (Ø12.6") table. Travels are 410 mm (16.1") in X, 610 mm (24.0") in Y and 510 mm (20.1") in Z.

02 How heavy can a workpiece on the MF400 be?

The maximum table load is 100 kg (220 lbs). That covers the fixture as well as the part, so a part that uses the full Ø400 x 300 mm (Ø15.8" x 11.8") size has to be hollow, thin-walled or already roughed to stay within it.

03 What tools does the MF400 magazine take?

The magazine holds 30 tools as standard. Maximum tool diameter is 76.2 mm (3"), or 125 mm (4.9") when the neighbouring pots are left empty, and maximum tool length is 280 mm (11.0"). The spindle is a 40 taper.

04 What spindle speed does the MF400 have?

Quaser lists the spindle speed as 12K ~ 20K on a 40 taper. The table shows a span and no power or torque figure, so ask which spindle a quoted machine has and request its power and torque chart.
