Mill-turn centre has rapid-motion feeds

Mill-turn centre has very stiff Y-axis A high-performance mill-turn centre features an extremely stiff Y-axis featuring wide-set guide rails and also very fast rapid-motion speeds.

Fitted with a counter spindle, driven tools, a high-precision C-axis and very fast rapid-motion speeds, the Maxxturn 45 offers everything the customer needs to manufacture complex turned and milled parts, not only in high quality, but also cost effective. A very special highlight of the new Maxxturn 45 is the Y-axis. It has been integrated into the machine structure and stands on extremely wide-set guide rails.

This ensures extreme stiffness and top precision, even when performing difficult cutting tasks.

Additionally, the machine has a very large travel, which also increases the number of machining options when turning and milling.

The Maxxturn 45 is available with either a Siemens or Fanuc control unit - SHOPTURN or Manual Guide are standard equipment.

* Tailored automation - as with all Emco machines, there are of course perfectly customised automation fittings for the Maxxturn 45 too.

There is a Swing Loader for automatic loading and feeding out.

For bar work, there are three different bar loaders on offer: a classical 3m loader, the Emco short-bar loader LM800 for limited floor space and the CompactLoad E45.

The latter is on offer in a package with the Maxxturn 45 at an unbeatable discount price.
