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 500 H-FR cuts gear and form profiles with carbide insert milling cutters on workpieces up to 500 mm (19.5 in) in diameter and 2,500 mm (98.5 in) long. Cutters can be up to 350 mm (14 in) across, the maximum profile height is 75 mm (3 in), and the control is a Fanuc 31iB.

Axial travel is listed as 2,000 (3,000) mm (78.5 (118) in). The bracketed figure reads as a longer alternative to the 2,000 mm (78.5 in) version, but the table does not label it, and the 2,500 mm (98.5 in) workpiece length sits between the two. A buyer with parts near that length should ask EMAG which travel goes with which bed before relying on either figure.

The step up from the CLC 260 H-FR is large on every listed cutting figure: profile height grows from its 28 mm (1 in) to 75 mm (3 in), cutter diameter from 275 mm (11 in) to 350 mm (14 in) and workpiece diameter from 260 mm (10 in) to 500 mm (19.5 in). The module row reads 32 here, with no unit or range, so confirm what the figure means for your gear data. Spindle speed, power and accuracy are not in the table.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Profile height up to 75 mm (3 in) with carbide insert milling cutters up to 350 mm (14 in) in diameter
Workpieces up to 500 mm (19.5 in) in diameter and 2,500 mm (98.5 in) long
Axial travel of 2,000 mm (78.5 in), with 3,000 mm (118 in) shown in brackets
Fanuc 31iB control, the same as on the CLC 260 H-FR

Limitations

The axial travel row does not say what the bracketed 3,000 mm (118 in) figure refers to
The module row is a bare "32" with no unit or range
No spindle speed, drive power or accuracy figure is listed

Best For

Deep form profiles up to 75 mm (3 in) on large shafts Workpieces up to 500 mm (19.5 in) in diameter Shafts up to 2,500 mm (98.5 in) long Jobs that outgrow the 28 mm (1 in) profile limit of the CLC 260 H-FR

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What tooling does the CLC 500 H-FR use?

Carbide insert milling cutters, up to 350 mm (14 in) in diameter. With them the machine is rated for a maximum profile height of 75 mm (3 in).

02 What does the axial travel of 2,000 (3,000) mm mean?

The table lists axial travel as 2,000 (3,000) mm (78.5 (118) in) without explaining the bracket. It most likely marks a longer version, but the maximum workpiece length is given separately as 2,500 mm (98.5 in), so ask EMAG which travel and length the machine you are offered has.

03 How does the CLC 500 H-FR compare with the CLC 260 H-FR?

The CLC 500 H-FR is larger than the CLC 260 H-FR on every listed cutting figure: 500 mm (19.5 in) against 260 mm (10 in) of diameter, 350 mm (14 in) against 275 mm (11 in) of cutter, and 75 mm (3 in) against 28 mm (1 in) of profile height. The CLC 260 H-FR is offered in lengths of 1,800 / 2,300 mm (71 / 90.5 in). Both use a Fanuc 31iB control.
