How much does the Emco Ecomill cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Emco Ecomill that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
In the middle of Emco's travelling-column line sits the Ecomill, a 3+2 axis machine with a horizontal ram. Its column travels 4000 - 14000 mm along the bed, the ram extends 1,300 mm (51.2 in) and the vertical axis comes in two heights, 2000 / 2500 mm.
Emco builds the column as a symmetric structure for stiffness and guides the ram box-in-box. The basic machine includes a chip conveyor. A single spindle motor is listed, 60 kW, 600 Nm, and it drives a universal milling head rated 38 / 48 kW (S1/S6) and 600 / 750 Nm (S1/S6) over 15 ÷ 8000 rpm. Automatic millesimal positioning means the head indexes in very fine steps to any angle and is then clamped for the cut, which is how a 3+2 machine reaches inclined faces.
Finishing gets a different answer here than on the Ecomill Plus. Instead of a separate high-speed head, the Ecomill takes a high-speed spindle in a special support on the universal head: 40.5 / 53 kW, 35.4 / 46 Nm (S1 / S6), 18000 rpm, HSK-A63. It is a light spindle, suitable for small cutters in mould cavities, and it leaves the mechanical head in place for everything else.
The tool magazine is listed with 40 / 60 / 80 pockets, and the product page mentions a tower changer of up to 203 pockets as the larger alternative. Feed is 30 m/min (1,181 ipm). Through-spindle coolant is 20 l/min, 20/40/60 bar. The control is a Heidenhain or a Siemens.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Bed lengths from 4000 to 14000 mm of longitudinal travel
- Universal head with 600 / 750 Nm (S1/S6) over 15 ÷ 8000 rpm
- High-speed spindle in special support: 18,000 rpm
- Symmetric column and box-in-box ram
- Chip conveyor included in the basic machine
Limitations
- Cross travel of 1,300 mm (51.2 in)
- No automatic head magazine is listed, unlike the Ecomill Plus
- Only the 60 kW, 600 Nm spindle motor appears in the brochure table
- The high-speed spindle has 40.5 / 53 kW, 35.4 / 46 Nm (S1 / S6), 18000 rpm, HSK-A63, which restricts it to light finishing
