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 MF400U is a compact machining center with a 300 mm (11.8 in) trunnion rotary table, listed with travels of 400 mm (15.7 in) in X, 360 mm (14.2 in) in Y and 400 mm (15.7 in) in Z. The model is absent from Quaser's current lineup, so the listed figures are unconfirmed and worth checking against the paperwork of an individual machine.

Its two rotary axes define what it can do. The A axis is listed at +30° / -110° and the C axis at 360° (continuous), which lets the spindle reach five sides of a part and work undercuts on the long side of the tilt. The load is listed as 150 kg (331 lb) on the rotary table. For reference, the MF400 that Quaser shows today has a Ø320 mm (Ø12.6") table with a 100 kg (220 lbs) load.

The spindle is a BT 40 unit at 15 kW (20 hp). Speed is 12,000 RPM as listed, with 15,000 or 18,000 RPM as options, so find out which was ordered. No torque figure is listed. Linear roller guideways carry the axes, rapids are 36 m/min on X/Y and 30 m/min on Z, and the feed rate tops out at 15,000 mm/min.

A 30-tool arm-type ATC changes tools in 1.8 sec tool-to-tool. Accuracy is listed for the linear axes only, at ±0.003 mm positioning and ±0.002 mm repeatability. Weight is approx. 7,500 kg (16,535 lb).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

A axis listed at +30° / -110° with a 360° (continuous) C axis on a 300 mm (11.8 in) trunnion rotary table
150 kg (331 lb) listed on the rotary table
30-tool arm-type ATC with a listed 1.8 sec tool-to-tool change
Spindle options of 15,000 or 18,000 RPM are listed above the 12,000 RPM standard
Linear roller guideways with rapids of 36 m/min on X/Y and 30 m/min on Z

Limitations

Travels of 400 mm (15.7 in), 360 mm (14.2 in) and 400 mm (15.7 in) keep it to small parts
No spindle torque figure is listed, and power is 15 kW (20 hp)
The ±0.003 mm positioning figure covers the linear axes only; nothing is listed for the A and C axes
A-axis tilt is asymmetric at +30° / -110°, so deep undercuts are reachable from one side only

Best For

Small five-sided parts on the 300 mm (11.8 in) trunnion rotary table Parts and fixtures up to 150 kg (331 lb) on the rotary table Small-tool work at 12,000 RPM, or 15,000 / 18,000 RPM where the option is fitted

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What rotary axis range does the MF400U have?

The listed A-axis range is +30° / -110° and the C axis is 360° (continuous). The table is a 300 mm (11.8 in) trunnion rotary table with 150 kg (331 lb) listed as the maximum workpiece weight on it.

02 What spindle speeds are listed for the MF400U?

12,000 RPM is the listed speed, with 15,000 and 18,000 RPM as options. The taper is BT 40 and the power is 15 kW (20 hp). No torque figure is listed, so ask for the spindle chart that matches the spindle fitted.

03 How do the MF400U travels compare with the MF400?

The MF400U is listed with 400 mm (15.7 in) in X, 360 mm (14.2 in) in Y and 400 mm (15.7 in) in Z. Quaser's page for the MF400 gives 410 mm (16.1") in X, 610 mm (24.0") in Y and 510 mm (20.1") in Z, so that model has much more Y and Z stroke.

04 How accurate is the MF400U?

The listed figures are ±0.003 mm positioning accuracy and ±0.002 mm repeatability, both stated for the linear axes. No accuracy figure is listed for the two rotary axes, so check the inspection report of the machine in question.
