How much does the EMAG CLC 260 H-FR cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc gear cutting machine in this class — not a quote from EMAG. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The EMAG CLC 260 H-FR is a gear cutting machine for shafts up to 260 mm (10 in) in diameter, specified around its cutter: the table allows a cutter of up to 275 mm (11 in) and a profile height of up to 28 mm (1 in). Workpiece length is offered as 1,800 / 2,300 mm (71 / 90.5 in), and the control is a Fanuc 31iB.
The profile height is the figure to test a part against. It sets the deepest form the machine is rated to cut, so a tooth or groove profile taller than 28 mm (1 in) belongs on the bigger CLC 500 H-FR, whose table allows 75 mm (3 in) with cutters up to 350 mm (14 in) and workpieces up to 500 mm (19.5 in) across. The module row on this model is a bare "12" with no unit or range, so treat it as a question for EMAG rather than a limit you can plan with.
The two lengths decide how long a shaft fits. At 2,300 mm (90.5 in) the longer option still stops short of the 2,500 mm (98.5 in) listed for the CLC 500 H-FR. No spindle speed, power or accuracy figure is given for the 260 H-FR.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Cutters up to 275 mm (11 in) in diameter and profile heights up to 28 mm (1 in)
- Two workpiece lengths, 1,800 mm (71 in) and 2,300 mm (90.5 in), on a 260 mm (10 in) diameter capacity
- Fanuc 31iB control, shared with the CLC 500 H-FR
Limitations
- Profile height stops at 28 mm (1 in); the CLC 500 H-FR is rated for 75 mm (3 in)
- The module row reads only "12", with no unit or range, so the module limit needs confirming
- No spindle speed, drive power or accuracy figure is listed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The table gives a maximum profile height of 28 mm (1 in), with cutters up to 275 mm (11 in) in diameter. For deeper forms the CLC 500 H-FR is listed at 75 mm (3 in) with cutters up to 350 mm (14 in).
02
Two lengths are listed: 1,800 mm (71 in) and 2,300 mm (90.5 in), both with a maximum workpiece diameter of 260 mm (10 in). Check which of the two a particular machine or quotation is built for, as the longer one is the only route to shafts beyond 1,800 mm (71 in).
03
A Fanuc 31iB, the same control listed for the CLC 500 H-FR. The table names the control only; it gives no programming or software features beyond that.
