Overview

The EMAG USC 850 is a large turning center for long, heavy work: it turns up to 700 mm (27.5 in) in diameter over a length of 2,000 mm (78.5 in) and carries workpieces up to 600 kg (1,323 lb). Swing is 800 mm (31.5 in), the spindle nose is A2-11 and bar stock up to 132 mm (5 in) passes through the spindle.

The main drive is rated 22 kW (30 hp) continuous and 30 kW (40 hp) as its short-duty rating. Its high speed range is listed as 50 - 2,000 RPM; the table gives no figures for any lower range. That top speed is low for small diameters but matches the size of part the machine is built for, where surface speed is reached at modest rpm.

A 150 mm tailstock quill with 200 mm of stroke supports long parts at the free end, which is what makes the 2,000 mm (78.5 in) length usable on slender shafts. The 12-station turret uses BMT75 holders. Driven tools run to 3,000 RPM with 5 kW (6.7 hp), and drills up to 50 mm in diameter can be used, so cross holes, flats and keyways can be machined without moving the part to another machine.

The main question for a buyer is fit at both ends of the range. Below the USC 850 sits the HSC 1, with a 375 mm (15 in) turning diameter, 570 mm (22.5 in) of Z travel, a Y axis and a counter spindle. The USC 850 gives up the second spindle in this table but takes parts nearly twice the diameter and several times the length.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Turns up to 700 mm (27.5 in) in diameter and 2,000 mm (78.5 in) in length
Carries workpieces up to 600 kg (1,323 lb)
22 kW (30 hp) continuous and 30 kW (40 hp) short-duty rating on an A2-11 spindle
Bar capacity of 132 mm (5 in)
150 mm tailstock quill with 200 mm of stroke for long shafts
Driven tools at 3,000 RPM and 5 kW (6.7 hp), with drills up to 50 mm

Limitations

The high speed range tops out at 2,000 RPM, slow for small diameters
The turret has 12 stations, which can run short on parts with many features
Driven tools are limited to 3,000 RPM and 5 kW (6.7 hp), light for heavy milling on large parts
The table lists no Y axis or counter spindle, unlike the HSC 1

Best For

Shafts up to 2,000 mm (78.5 in) long supported by the tailstock Heavy turned parts up to 600 kg (1,323 lb) Bar work up to 132 mm (5 in) Large parts with drilled cross holes up to 50 mm

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size of workpiece fits the USC 850?

Up to 700 mm (27.5 in) turning diameter, 2,000 mm (78.5 in) turning length and 600 kg (1,323 lb). Swing is 800 mm (31.5 in). Bar stock up to 132 mm (5 in) passes through the spindle.

02 How powerful is the USC 850 spindle?

22 kW (30 hp) continuous and 30 kW (40 hp) as the short-duty rating. The high speed range runs 50 - 2,000 RPM on an A2-11 spindle nose. The table does not give a torque figure, so ask EMAG for the curve for heavy roughing.

03 Does the USC 850 have live tooling?

Yes. Driven tools run to 3,000 RPM with 5 kW (6.7 hp), and the maximum drilling tool diameter is 50 mm. The turret has 12 stations with BMT75 holders.

04 What tailstock does the USC 850 have?

A tailstock with a 150 mm quill diameter and 200 mm of quill stroke. On long slender parts up to the 2,000 mm (78.5 in) turning length, the tailstock is what keeps the part from deflecting under the cut.

05 How does the USC 850 compare with the HSC 1?

The HSC 1 turns up to 375 mm (15 in) with 570 mm (22.5 in) of Z travel and adds a Y axis and a counter spindle. The USC 850 takes parts up to 700 mm (27.5 in) in diameter and 2,000 mm (78.5 in) long, for heavier shaft work.
