Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Quaser MK603S 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
Two pallets of 1,050 x 550 mm on a swing type changer define the Quaser MK603S, a production vertical machining center with 1,020 mm (40.2") of X travel, 610 mm (24.0") of Y and 600 mm (23.6") of Z. Quaser lists the pallet size as 1,050 x 550 x 2 mm (41.3" x 21.7" x 2), the trailing figure being the pallet count.
The travels are close to those of the MV3, and that comparison is the easiest way to place the machine. The MV3 has one fixed table of 1,200 x 600 mm (47.2" x 23.6") rated for 500 kg (1,102 lbs). The MK603S gives each of its two pallets 300 kg (661 lbs) and swaps them, so the operator loads parts while the other pallet is cut. It is a 40-inch-class vertical reorganized around uninterrupted spindle time.
Because the pallets swing through the work zone, clearance is specified differently from a fixed-table machine. Maximum work swing diameter is Ø1,630 mm (Ø64.2"), and maximum work piece height is 350 mm (13.8"). Tall fixtures are out; long, low fixture plates carrying rows of parts are what the machine expects.
Quaser groups it with the MV154APC as a high-productivity design for the automotive and IT industries, with a more rigid mechanical structure and a surefooted pallet change system. The 40 taper spindle is listed at 9K ~ 20K. The magazine has 48 positions as standard and takes tools up to 300 mm (11.8") long.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Two pallets of 1,050 x 550 mm exchanged by a swing type changer
- 1,020 mm (40.2") of X travel and 610 mm (24.0") of Y in a pallet-changing vertical
- 48 tools as standard, up to 300 mm (11.8") long
- Spindle band listed as 9K ~ 20K on a 40 taper
- Larger pallets and longer travels than the MV154APC, which has 700 mm (27.6") of X
Limitations
- Work piece height is limited to 350 mm (13.8")
- Each pallet is rated for 300 kg (661 lbs), well below the 500 kg (1,102 lbs) table of the MV3
- Pallet change time is not published
- Spindle power and torque are not listed on Quaser's page

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Quaser lists it as 1,050 x 550 x 2 mm (41.3" x 21.7" x 2), meaning two pallets of 1,050 x 550 mm. The number of pallets is 2, the changer is a swing type and the load capacity is 300 kg (661 lbs).
02
X travel is 1,020 mm (40.2"), Y travel is 610 mm (24.0") and Z travel is 600 mm (23.6"). Maximum work piece height is 350 mm (13.8") and the maximum work swing diameter is Ø1,630 mm (Ø64.2").
03
A 40 taper spindle with a maximum speed listed as 9K ~ 20K. That is a range of options, and Quaser's page does not give power or torque figures for any of them.
04
48 as standard. Maximum tool diameter is 76.2 mm (3"), or 125 mm (4.9") when the neighboring pots are empty, and maximum tool length is 300 mm (11.8").
05
The MV3 has a single fixed table of 1,200 x 600 mm (47.2" x 23.6") rated for 500 kg (1,102 lbs) and 30 tools as standard. The MK603S has two exchangeable pallets rated for 300 kg (661 lbs) and 48 tools. X and Y travel are the same on both, 1,020 mm (40.2") and 610 mm (24.0").
