Our best estimate for a cnc grinding machine in this class — not a quote from EMAG. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The EMAG HG 2 is a machine from EMAG's HG range for workpieces up to 200 mm (8 in) in diameter and 400 mm (15.5 in) long. It travels 360 mm (14 in) on X and 1,000 mm (39.5 in) on Z, on a machine base of thermostable cast iron with precision ball screws driving the feed axes.

The Z travel is long for the part size. With 1,000 mm (39.5 in) of Z against a 400 mm (15.5 in) workpiece, the axis has room to move a unit well clear of the part, which is the kind of reserve a machine needs when it carries more than one tool or spindle along the bed. The table does not list the spindles or wheels themselves, so ask EMAG what the HG 2 is configured with; its sibling HG 204 is specified with B-axis spindle packages and an automatic balancing unit.

Against the HG 208, which shares the 360 mm (14 in) X travel but has 1,600 mm (63 in) of Z, the HG 2 is the shorter frame. The thermostable cast iron base is the row that speaks to holding size over a shift, since a base that resists temperature change keeps the axes where they were set as the shop warms up.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size of workpiece fits the HG 2?

Up to 200 mm (8 in) in diameter and 400 mm (15.5 in) in length. The axes travel 360 mm (14 in) on X and 1,000 mm (39.5 in) on Z.

02 How does the HG 2 compare with the HG 204?

The listed envelope is the same: 200 mm (8 in) diameter, 400 mm (15.5 in) length, 360 mm (14 in) of X and 1,000 mm (39.5 in) of Z. The HG 204 table goes on to describe B-axis spindle configurations, an automatic balancing unit and corundum or CBN wheels; the HG 2 table describes the cast iron base and ball screw drives instead.

03 What is the HG 2 built on?

A machine base of thermostable cast iron, with precision ball screws as the feed drives. The table gives no machine weight or footprint, so ask EMAG for installation data.
