Frequently Asked Questions
What is an MQ Series Feed Unit?
The MQ Series Feed Unit is a mechanically driven, ball screw–actuated quill feed system built for high-speed, high-accuracy hole-making operations. Designed for use with carbide tooling, it provides rigid, repeatable feed control for demanding production environments.
It is purpose-built for dedicated drilling, tapping, reaming, and thread forming applications where cycle time, tool life, and consistency matter.
How do I determine what type of unit I need?
Selecting the correct MQ Series unit depends on several application variables including tool diameter, material being cut, required spindle speed, torque demand, horsepower requirements, and stroke length.
The MQ 150 is designed for lighter duty applications and smaller cutting tools where lower torque and horsepower are sufficient.
The MQ 60, 120, and 140 are larger frame units built for increased rigidity and higher performance demands. These models offer greater torque capacity, higher horsepower options, and longer stroke capabilities, making them ideal for larger diameter tools and more aggressive cutting conditions.
Our engineering team will review your print, material, tooling, and production targets to ensure the unit is properly sized for optimal performance and tool life.
What's the benefit to have a ballscrew feed unit?
Ballscrew units are designed as dedicated solutions for drilling and tapping parts in medium to high volume batches.
When should I expect a formal quote for a feed unit?
You can expect a three day turnaround on a feed unit quote. Be sure to monitor your email and cell phone as our team may be calling for additional information.
