How much does the EMAG HSC 1 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from EMAG. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The EMAG HSC 1 is a turning center with a counter spindle, a Y axis and driven tools, built to finish a part in one setup. It turns up to 375 mm (15 in) in diameter, with 570 mm (22.5 in) of Z travel, 198 mm (8 in) of X and ± 50 mm (± 2 in) of Y. The axes are listed as X, Y, Z + C (x2), so both spindles can be positioned as C axes for milling and drilling.
The main spindle has an A2-6 nose, a 63 mm bore and a top speed of 4,000 rpm. Bar work is rated to 51 mm (2 in). The counter spindle has a 110 mm diameter flange and 7.5 kW (10 hp), which is enough to pick off the part and machine the second side rather than only to support it. The table gives no power rating for the main spindle, so ask for the power curve before planning heavy roughing.
The standard turret has 12 stations with a BMT-55 interface. A 16-station turret is optional, in BMT-45 or VDI-30. Driven tools run to 5,000 RPM with 4.5 kW (6 hp), which suits cross holes, flats and keyways more than heavy face milling. The choice between the turrets is a trade: more stations on the optional turret, but a smaller tool interface than the standard BMT-55.
The machine weighs 5,500 kg (12,125.5 lb). Next to the MSC 5 DUO, which turns up to 120 mm (4.5 in) in diameter and 85 mm (3.5 in) in length, the HSC 1 takes far larger and longer parts and adds the Y axis and counter spindle. For shafts beyond its envelope, the USC 850 turns up to 700 mm (27.5 in) in diameter and 2,000 mm (78.5 in) in length.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Counter spindle with 7.5 kW (10 hp) and a 110 mm diameter flange for second-side machining
- Y axis of ± 50 mm (± 2 in) and C on both spindles for off-centre drilling and milling
- Turns up to 375 mm (15 in) in diameter with 570 mm (22.5 in) of Z travel
- Optional 16-station turret in BMT-45 or VDI-30 for jobs with many tools
- Driven tools at 5,000 RPM and 4.5 kW (6 hp)
Limitations
- Bar capacity is 51 mm (2 in), small relative to the 375 mm (15 in) turning diameter
- Main spindle top speed is 4,000 rpm, a limit for small diameters and aluminium
- The table lists no main spindle power, so cutting capacity cannot be judged from it
- The 16-station turret is optional; the standard turret has 12 stations (BMT-55)

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Yes. The axes are X, Y, Z + C (x2), with ± 50 mm (± 2 in) of Y travel. The counter spindle has a 110 mm diameter flange and 7.5 kW (10 hp), so a part can be transferred and finished on its second side in the same cycle.
02
51 mm (2 in). The main spindle has a 63 mm bore and an A2-6 nose. Chucked parts can be much larger than bar stock, up to the 375 mm (15 in) maximum turning diameter.
03
The standard turret has 12 stations with a BMT-55 interface. An optional 16-station turret comes in BMT-45 or VDI-30. Driven tools run to 5,000 RPM with 4.5 kW (6 hp) of power.
04
Up to 4,000 rpm. The table does not give the main spindle power or torque, so ask EMAG for the curve if the job includes heavy roughing at large diameters.
05
5,500 kg (12,125.5 lb). Check floor loading and crane or forklift capacity for installation. The MSC 5 DUO, a smaller machine for chucked parts up to 120 mm (4.5 in), is listed at ~4,500 kg.
