⚙️ Key Features
- Large-Format Machining Capability
X-axis travel 3200 mm | Y-axis 1800 mm | Z-axis 800 mm
Supports heavy-duty parts up to 6 tons on a 3000 × 1400 mm worktable. - High-Performance Spindle
CAT-50 spindle, 6000 rpm speed, φ190 mm diameter, delivering up to 236 N·m torque for high-power cutting and excellent surface finish. - Superior Structural Rigidity
Constructed from HT300 resin-sand cast iron, the double-layer gantry design eliminates deflection and vibration — ensuring dimensional precision even under full-load operations. - Precision Motion Control
Equipped with FANUC 31i-B CNC system featuring a 15″ color display, 3-axis simultaneous contouring, 3D toolpath simulation, and 1000-block look-ahead for ultra-smooth motion. - Advanced Linear Motion System
Japanese THK roller guideways (55 mm) and C3-grade ball screws (Ø63/50/50 mm) guarantee micron-level repeatability and long-term alignment stability. - Comprehensive Cooling & Lubrication
Automatic lubrication, pneumatic and hydraulic spindle balancing, and an integrated tool cooling system extend machine life and reduce thermal drift. - Smart Chip Management
Dual spiral conveyors and a chain-type chip removal system with coolant filtration keep operations clean and efficient. - Renishaw-type Tool & Workpiece Probing
Ensures fast setup, in-process verification, and closed-loop precision correction. - Optional 4th Axis
Add-on 320 mm rotary table with tailstock enables multi-side machining and complex geometry operations.
Intelligent CNC System
The QL-Atlas 3218 integrates FANUC 31i-B Plus for intuitive visual programming, real-time simulation, and dynamic path optimization. Its manual guide i interface simplifies setup and toolpath editing — ideal for both production runs and prototype manufacturing.
Precision & Quality Assurance
Each unit is calibrated using Renishaw laser interferometer and ball-bar testing, ensuring factory-verified accuracy before delivery. All machines comply with CE standards and ISO machine tool manufacturing regulations.
