How much does the Emco HyperTurn 65 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a mill-turn / multi-tasking machine in this class — not a quote from Emco. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Emco HyperTurn 65 is a mill-turn centre built around a main spindle and a counter spindle, each listed at 29 kW and 250 Nm, with two or three 12-station turrets (the table gives 2/3x12) on which every station can carry a driven tool. Maximum turning diameter is 500 mm, swing over the bed is 660 mm and bar diameter is 65 mm, with 76.2 and 95 mm given in brackets.
Those brackets matter when the machine is specified. Main spindle speed is listed as 0-5000 rpm with 4000 and 3500 rpm in brackets, the same pattern as the bar diameter row, which reads as the larger bar sizes running slower. The main spindle also carries a bracketed 37 kW and 360 Nm, while the counter spindle is listed at 29 kW and 250 Nm only. Emco's table does not label the brackets, so confirm which speed and which drive belong to the bar size you need.
Travels are given by example for the HT 65 DT-1000: 260 mm on X1 and 210 mm on X2, 800 mm on each of Z1, Z2 and Z3, and 100 mm (+/-50) on Y1 and Y2. A Y stroke of 50 mm either side of centre reaches cross holes, flats and keyways near the centreline but not features far off it. Two spindle nose distances are listed, 1050 and 1300 mm, beside two machine lengths, 5060 and 5300 mm, so ask for the travels of the version being quoted. Rapids are 30/12/30 m/min in X, Y and Z.
Driven tools run at 0-5000 rpm (4500 rpm in brackets) with 6.7 kW and 25 Nm, on VDI 30 holders with VDI 40 in brackets. 25 Nm is one tenth of the 250 Nm spindle torque, so the turrets suit drilling, tapping and light end milling, and heavy face milling is outside their range. Next to the Maxxturn 65 the size class is the same: that machine lists a 500 mm (19.7 in) turning diameter and 65 mm (2.56 in) bar capacity. The Maxxturn 65 table lists 12 turret stations, where the HyperTurn 65 lists 2/3x12 and a counter spindle with its own 29 kW drive. Plan the floor for 5060/5300 x 2850 x 2360 mm and ca. 9500 kg.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Main and counter spindle are both listed at 29 kW and 250 Nm, so the second side of a part can be cut with the same drive rating as the first
- Turrets are listed as 2/3x12 for tools and 2/3x12 for driven tools: every one of the 12 stations on each turret can take a live holder
- Bar diameter of 65 mm with 76.2 and 95 mm in brackets, on a machine with a 500 mm maximum turning diameter and 660 mm swing over the bed
- The main spindle has a bracketed 37 kW and 360 Nm rating above the 29 kW and 250 Nm figures
- Y travel is listed on both Y1 and Y2 at 100 mm (+/-50), so off-centre milling is not tied to one turret
- Rapids of 30 m/min in X and Z; the Maxxturn 65 lists 24 m/min (945 ipm) in X
Limitations
- Driven tools are limited to 6.7 kW and 25 Nm, one tenth of the 250 Nm spindle torque, which keeps milling to light cuts and modest drill sizes
- Y travel is 100 mm (+/-50), so features more than 50 mm off the centreline cannot be reached with a straight Y move
- Spindle speed is 0-5000 rpm with 4000 and 3500 rpm in brackets; the lower figures appear to go with the 76.2 and 95 mm bar sizes, which costs surface speed on small diameters
- The counter spindle is listed at 29 kW and 250 Nm with no bracketed higher rating, unlike the main spindle's 37 kW and 360 Nm
- At 5060/5300 x 2850 x 2360 mm and ca. 9500 kg it needs floor space and foundation checks before delivery, and the Y rapid is 12 m/min against 30 m/min in X and Z

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Emco's table gives the number of tools as 2/3x12 and the driven tools as 2/3x12. That is two or three turrets of 12 stations, with every station able to take a driven tool. The turret size is VDI 30, with VDI 40 in brackets. The travel example for the HT 65 DT-1000 lists X1/X2, Y1/Y2 and Z1/Z2/Z3 axes.
02
Bar diameter is listed as 65 mm, with 76.2 and 95 mm in brackets. Main and counter spindle speed are both 0-5000 rpm, with 4000 and 3500 rpm in brackets. The two rows follow the same pattern, which suggests the larger bar sizes come with the lower speeds, but the table does not say so in words. Confirm the pairing with Emco before choosing a bar size.
03
The main spindle is listed at 29 kW and 250 Nm, with 37 kW and 360 Nm in brackets. The counter spindle is listed at 29 kW and 250 Nm, with no bracketed figure. At the listed ratings the two spindles match, so an operation can move from one side to the other without a drop in drive rating; the higher bracketed rating is shown for the main spindle only.
04
Driven tools run at 0-5000 rpm, with 4500 rpm in brackets, at up to 6.7 kW and 25 Nm. That torque is one tenth of the 250 Nm main spindle figure, so the live stations are sized for drilling, tapping, keyways and light end milling. Y travel of 100 mm (+/-50) on Y1 and Y2 sets how far off centre those features can sit.
05
The size class is shared. The Maxxturn 65 lists a 500 mm (19.7 in) maximum turning diameter, 65 mm (2.56 in) bar capacity and 5000 rpm, and the HyperTurn 65 lists 500 mm, 65 mm and 0-5000 rpm. The Maxxturn 65 table shows 12 turret stations and a 24 m/min (945 ipm) X rapid. The HyperTurn 65 lists 2/3x12 turret stations, a 29 kW counter spindle and a 30 m/min X rapid.
06
Dimensions are listed as 5060/5300 x 2850 x 2360 mm (L x W x H), with two lengths that sit beside the two spindle nose distances of 1050 and 1300 mm. Machine weight is ca. 9500 kg. Check which length applies to the version quoted, and allow room beyond the footprint for bar feeding if the machine will run from bar.
