SCM JQX

5-axes spindle

Abbreviation for Just Quality eXtreme.

This low-cost spindle for CNC machining centres of the SCM Group was introduced to the market in 2017. The JQX spindle was specially developed for use on machines of the Morbidelli M100 and M200 series.

It is a 5-axis spindle with a power of up to 15 kW. In contrast to the belt-driven prism spindle, the JQX spindle is equipped with direct drive. This means that a smaller number of components is required, which results in lower manufacturing costs as well as higher reliability. The first generation of Prisma spindles had a similar design.

However, this also means that a significant advantage of modern "Prisma" spindles is missing: the low working height horizontally above the machine table is no longer given due to the direct drive. This significantly restricts workpiece machining, especially in the lower workpiece area, compared to the Prisma spindles.

Originally, the JQX spindle was planned as PRISMA Q, but for marketing reasons the name JQX was used. The Prisma Q spindle is an identical spindle in terms of external design, but it was the spindle that delivered the highest power and torque when it was launched.

The JQX spindle is also used by the Polish manufacturer INFOTEC CNC.
