Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc router in this class — not a quote from Quintax. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Quintax R-Series is a 5-axis gantry router for aerospace composites built long and narrow: up to 15,000 mm (590 in) of X travel for stringer applications, against up to 1,500 mm (59 in) of Y and up to 600 mm (23.6 in) of Z. Quintax's current lineup does not show an R-Series. With no maker document behind the table, the listed figures need confirming on any machine offered.
The proportions explain the purpose. X is ten times Y, an envelope with little use for panels but well matched to stringers and other long sections that are trimmed and drilled along their length. All three travels are given as maximums, so the installed length of a particular machine has to be measured.
Spindle speed is listed as 24,000 – 40,000 RPM for an electrospindle, with up to 25 kW (33.5 hp) and an HSK-63F taper. The upper end of that range suits small-diameter cutters in cured laminate, where surface speed has to come from spindle speed. Rapid traverse of up to 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) matters more here than on a short machine, because repositioning along the bed is a real share of cycle time.
The head tilts +/- 120° on A and rotates 360° continuous on C. Position repeatability is listed to ±0.025 mm over full travel, the control is a Siemens Sinumerik 840D sl, and the primary materials are CFRP, fiberglass, Kevlar and prepreg composite. No tool changer, table type or machine weight is listed.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Up to 15,000 mm (590 in) of X travel, listed for stringer applications
- Electrospindle speed listed as 24,000 – 40,000 RPM
- Rapid traverse of up to 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) shortens moves along a long bed
- Position repeatability listed to ±0.025 mm over full travel
- Up to 25 kW (33.5 hp) of spindle power on an HSK-63F taper
Limitations
- Y travel is at most 1,500 mm (59 in), so wide skins and panels do not fit
- Z travel is at most 600 mm (23.6 in), which restricts part depth under a tilted head
- Travels, spindle power and rapid rate are all given as maximums and vary by machine
- Not shown in Quintax's current lineup; no tool changer or weight is listed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The X row reads up to 15,000 mm (590 in) for stringer applications, while Y is up to 1,500 mm (59 in) and Z up to 600 mm (23.6 in). Stringers are long, slender parts, and the envelope follows their shape. For wide panels the Y travel is the limit.
02
The listed figures give 24,000 – 40,000 RPM for an electrospindle, with up to 25 kW (33.5 hp) and an HSK-63F taper. Both speed and power depend on the spindle fitted, so check the plate on the machine in question.
03
The accuracy row lists position repeatability to ±0.025 mm over full travel. On a machine with up to 15,000 mm (590 in) of X that figure depends on foundation and calibration, so ask for a recent laser or ballbar report.
04
Quintax's current lineup does not show an R-Series. The listed figures have not been confirmed against a maker document. Verify travel lengths, spindle rating and the Siemens Sinumerik 840D sl control on the machine itself.
