Compact CNC milling machine is universal

A very compact universal CNC 3-axis milling machine for general machining is being offered at an unrivalled price-performance ratio, selling for under EUR 50,000.

Emco Group, based in Austria, said it is widening the 'design-to-cost philosophy' into 'designed to costs and market', with its ongoing additions to its successful E25/45/65 milling machine series.

The new Emcomill E 600 - a modular and compact design - is being offered at an 'unrivalled price-performance ratio'.

The Emcomill E 600 is the result of a successful joint operation between Emco and its Italian subsidiary, Famup.

The CNC universal miller is offered for general machining as well as tool and prototype construction.

The Emco Group, in a report to manufacturingtalk.com, said it has created a new machine generation for the standard 3-axis machined parts production.

The Ecomill E 600 is available for EUR 49,990.- euros.

Managing director of the Emco group, Gerhard Glanz, said: "Presently, only cheap products from Taiwan and similar countries can be found on the market at these prices".

Basic specifications include maximum axis travels of 600mm (X), 500mm(Y) and 500mm (Z).

Rapid traverse speed is 24m/min and number of tools (standard) is 20.

In Emco's 'design-to-cost' approach, all components that contribute to performance, precision and long duration of a machine are optimised, focussing at the same time on main functions for the user.

* Mechanical engineering without compromises - the Emcomill E 600 is designed as a very compact universal 3-axis machine for general machining.

The machine base, the support and all three slides are of massive cast design and form the basis for the robust machine structure.

The excellent damping properties of the cast material result in high surface qualities with ample cutting values, said Emco.

The roller guides with their parts that provide high support and stiffness values make the slides traverse precisely and without jerking.

The tool turret is designed as a very quick two-arm turret as a standard.

Tool changing times of 1.6s facilitate more than quick change to other tools and thus ensure production that saves time and costs.

* Modular structure - the highly proven modular concept allows machine customisation.

The main modules are as follows.

Spindle variants are available as, following.

* Basic version - 10,000 rev/min with direct drive (Siemens CNC) or 8,000 rev/min with direct drive (Fanuc CNC).

* 12,000 rev/min with direct drive as a variant for internal coolant supply.

* 15,000 rpm as motor spindle version.

* Tool magazine.

In the basic version the tool magazine (drum magazine) contains 20 tools.

Upon request the drum magazine can be expanded to 30 tools.

* Control options - the customer may choose between a Siemens 810D and the Fanuc 0i.

* Chip removal - the standard design consists of a chip tray with simple lateral chip removal.

For automatic chip removal a chip conveyor can be integrated as a module into the machine structure.

* Coolant supply - the coolant supply is carried out via lateral nozzles at the spindle nose.

As an option, an internal high-pressure coolant supply through the spindle and tool may be chosen.

* Round table/4th axis - for 4-axis applications a robust round table with a diameter of 200mm, resolution up to 0.001 deg and NC interpolation is available.

* Options - Emco offers to the customer a standard selection of accessories for the new Emcomill E 600, as follows.

Measuring sensor for tool or workpiece measurement.

Hand wheel.

Band filter.

Cleaning nozzle.

Alarm lamp.

Blow-out device.

Chip flushing.

Automatic door system.
