Tom Lesch with C.R. Onsrud (Troutman, North Carolina) introduces the 5-axis, fully enclosed Q-Series (aka Qube) in this post. This machine is engineered for those seeking 5-axis speed when trimming and machining advanced materials (e.g., composites, carbon fiber, plastics, aluminum, foam) in industries, such as: aerospace, transportation, defense, marine, and pattern shops, just to name a few.

- 5′ x 12′ Table Size
- 40″ Z-Stroke
- Standard 12 hp spindle (or 15 hp option)
- Enclosed design and dust collection: Provides a large work volume for machining molds, prototypes, complex composites, or thermal form plastic parts, while containing debris and isolating the operator from the machining zone and airborne particles. For added safety and containment, we offer automatic doors and the bellows roof option further helps contain the dust from the cutting process. Optional chip pans underneath the table collect chips with ports on the back of the machine for hooking up a dust collection system to help reduce airborne particles.
- Heavy-duty thick steel construction.
- Work holding methods, such as mechanical hold down or vacuum.
- 6-position ride-along tool changer or 12-position automatic tool changer or both.
- Automatic Tool Length Measuring Device provides quick and easy setup of tooling, and helps prevent an operator from typing in the wrong tool length.
- Part-probing devices perform in-process quality control and accept or reject a part before it is taken out of the work holding.
- Automatic grease lubrication system, air blast, or MQL lubrication.
- Center partition splits the work envelope in half, so the operator can safely load/unload material in one zone while the machine continues cutting in the other zone. Unlatch and pivot the partition against the wall to resume operation across the entire table.
- FANUC® controls, servos and drives provide, without question, the most reliable solution in the market. FANUC advantages:
- The largest control manufacturer in the world.
- The largest control manufacturer in the world.
- Parts guaranteed for the life of the controller.
- Peace of mind when it comes to reliability and longevity. They measure their downtime in decades: 52 years mean time between failures.
- Every C.R. Onsrud FANUC control comes standard with the FANUC interface as well as our own user-friendly, touchscreen HMI, making it very simple for you to learn and operate.
- The largest control manufacturer in the world.
- Manufactured in America. Designed, fabricated, machined, painted, assembled, and shipped from our factory in Troutman, NC.
- Tailored to your needs and built to last.
