Emco Hyperturn 100 Powermill

The Emco Hyperturn 100 Powermill is a large turn-mill centre built around a single milling spindle instead of a turret. It turns up to 720 mm (with Milling spindle), swings 800 mm (31.5 in) over the bed and comes in three lengths, with Z travel of 1500 / 2200 / 3100 mm.

Every tool, turning or milling, goes into the same spindle and comes from a magazine with 40 / 100 stations. Emco rates the milling spindle at 12000 rpm and lists 5 axes simultaneous machining. Y travel is 420 mm (16.5 in), and the X row reads 780 (+760/-20) mm, meaning the tool can pass 20 mm beyond the centreline. That reach lets one tool face, bore and mill across the whole face of a large part. Maximum tool diameter in the magazine is 90 mm (3.5 in); a separate 3-position pick-up magazine holds boring bars and other oversized tools.

Two main spindles are listed. The smaller has an A2-8 nose with the first values of 3500 // 2500 rpm, 33 / 53 kW and 800 // 4400 Nm; the larger has an A2-11 nose and the second values. The jump in torque between them is large, so the choice follows the material and diameter of the work, not just bar size.

Options named by Emco include one or more NC steady rests, 80 bar high-pressure coolant, tool breakage monitoring and automatic tool presetting. Weight runs 25000 – 35000 kg and the footprint is 8100 / 8800 / 9600 x 3200 x 3000 mm, depending on length. The control is the Sinumerik ONE.
