2017 Quintax 5-Axis Enclosed CNC Router | 5’ x 12’ Table
2017 Quintax 5-Axis Enclosed CNC router, 5×12 table, 54 in. Z-axis travel, Fagor 8070 control, 13.4 HP HSD spindle. #E837
This heavy-duty 2017 Quintax 5-Axis CNC Machining Center is a fully enclosed production platform built for precision trimming, mold making, and advanced composite milling. Engineered with a large-format 5’ x 12’ work surface and an exceptional 54-inch Z-axis travel, this machine provides the deep clearance required for high-volume thermoformed plastics, aerospace composites, and complex multi-sided pattern work. Featuring an HSD spindle and an advanced Fagor 8070 control package, this industrial unit arrives ready-to-work for demanding multi-axis manufacturing environments. (CNCPD reference #E837)
Work Envelope
- X-Axis Travel: 144″ (12′ longitudinal travel)
- Y-Axis Travel: 60″ (5′ cross travel)
- Z-Axis Travel: 54″
The generous 54-inch vertical stroke enables deep-cavity mold making, tall component detailing, and ample fixture clearance without sacrificing the extreme stiffness Quintax frames are known for.
- Table Size: 5’ x 12’ (Single fixed table configuration)
- Table Configuration: 1 Single high-density matrix phenolic vacuum table grid.
- Vacuum Zoning: Equipped with manual perimeter isolation ball valves mounted directly to the front chassis rail for concentrated zoning control.
- Enclosure: Full heavy-duty acoustic and containment enclosure featuring wide, counter-weighted front bi-parting doors with high-visibility viewing windows and internal LED illumination.
Motion & Control
- CNC Controller: Fagor 8070-M CNC System (V05.31.06 running on an industrial Windows Embedded platform)
The Fagor 8070 features high-speed block look-ahead and advanced spline interpolation (jerk control), making it the industry standard for smooth, fluid simultaneous 5-axis continuous tool paths.
- Active Drive Mapping: 6-Axis simultaneous continuous pathing capabilities managing the X, U (dual-driven gantry), Z, Y, B, and C axes.
- RTCP (Rotation Tool Center Point): Dynamically compensates for tool length and pivot offsets in real-time during 5-axis continuous motion.
- High-Speed Machining (HSM): Advanced look-ahead algorithms optimized for fast perimeter trimming.
- Bus Architecture: High-speed digital SERCOS fiber-optic links connecting the drive modules to eliminate electrical noise interference, with a secondary CAN bus for digital I/O and handwheel manual pulse generator integration.
Spindle & Tooling
- Spindle Manufacturer/Model: HSD ES779 4P Liquid-Cooled Spindle, replaced 11 months ago
- Power Rating: 13.4 HP (10 kW)
- Rotational Speed: Up to 24,000 RPM maximum
- Tool Changer Capacity: 10-slot linear automatic tool changer (ATC) rack located internally within the machine envelope.
- Tooling Taper: HSK F63
The high-rigidity HSK F63 interface delivers superior radial stiffness and minimal runout (TIR) at high rotational speeds compared to older ISO designs.
- Included Accessories: Includes 6 used high-precision tool holders.
Integrated Systems
- Spindle VFD: Yaskawa GA500 Industrial AC Drive inverter.
The integration of a vector-controlled Yaskawa GA500 drive ensures incredibly stable torque curves for the HSD spindle, maintaining tight RPM thresholds under varying material resistance.
- Debris & Dust Management: Heavy-duty, enclosed plastic cable tracks (IGUS style) protect internal feeds, with a high-volume dust collection layout integrated through the enclosed ceiling assembly.
- Lubrication: Automatic machine lubrication system distributing consistent oil film to all linear guideways and ball screws.
Logistical Specs
- Electrical Requirements: 480V / 3-Phase / 60Hz, 60 Amps
- Pneumatic Requirements: Clean, dry compressed air source (Manifold features integrated particle filtration and a moisture separator).
Industry Applications
- Aerospace & Automotive: Ideal for structural composite trimming, carbon fiber tooling, and master model pattern making.
- Thermoforming & Plastics: Optimized for high-speed perimeter trimming and post-mold drilling of large thermoformed plastic enclosures.
- Marine Components: Perfectly configured for scanning, modeling, and carving large marine scale models and structural bulkheads.
