Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Emco Maxxturn 25 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
Small parts finished on both ends in one cycle: that is the job of the Emco Maxxturn 25. It pairs an 8,000 rpm main spindle with a counter spindle of the same speed, passes 25.4 mm (1.0 in) bar and turns up to 114 mm (4.5 in) in diameter, all inside a machine that weighs 2,100 kg (4,630 lb).
The two spindles are not equal partners. The main spindle has 6.5 kW (8.7 hp) and 30 Nm (22.1 lb-ft); the counter spindle has 3.5 kW (4.7 hp) and 20 Nm (14.8 lb-ft). Both use the same Ø70 h5 mm nose, so workholding is common, but the second side should be planned as the lighter operation: facing, chamfering, a bore, a thread.
A Y axis is built into the machine design, with +20 / -15 mm of travel. On a part this small that is enough to put a flat or a cross hole off the centreline. The 12-station VDI 16 turret drives 6 tools at up to 6,000 rpm, with 1.2 kW (1.6 hp) and 4 Nm (3.0 lb-ft), and Emco states that the turret has 36 indexing positions, which lets half-station tooling sit between the main positions.
Axis travels are 100 mm (3.9 in) in X and 320 mm (12.6 in) in Z, with rapids listed as 20/10/30 m/min. The enclosure measures 2,180 x 1,425 x 1,870 mm (85.8 x 56.1 x 73.6 in). Siemens or Fanuc controls are offered.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Main and counter spindle both run to 8,000 rpm and share the Ø70 h5 mm nose
- Y axis of +20 / -15 mm integrated into the machine design
- Turret with 36 indexing positions, 12 VDI 16 stations and 6 driven tools
- Only 2,100 kg (4,630 lb) and 2,180 x 1,425 x 1,870 mm (85.8 x 56.1 x 73.6 in)
Limitations
- Counter spindle has 3.5 kW (4.7 hp) and 20 Nm (14.8 lb-ft), roughly half the main spindle
- Driven tools are limited to 1.2 kW (1.6 hp) and 4 Nm (3.0 lb-ft)
- Bar capacity is 25.4 mm (1.0 in); anything larger is chuck work up to 114 mm (4.5 in)

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Yes. The counter spindle runs to 8,000 rpm with 3.5 kW (4.7 hp) and 20 Nm (14.8 lb-ft), on the same Ø70 h5 mm nose as the main spindle. The distance between the two spindles is 485 mm (19.1 in).
02
The table gives +20 / -15 mm for Y, next to 100 mm (3.9 in) in X and 320 mm (12.6 in) in Z. Emco describes the Y axis as integrated directly into the machine design, not added through a wedge-type auxiliary slide on the turret.
03
VDI 16 holders in 12 stations. 6 stations can be driven, at up to 6,000 rpm, 1.2 kW (1.6 hp) and 4 Nm (3.0 lb-ft). Emco also lists 36 indexing positions for the turret.
04
Both are 25.4 mm (1.0 in)-class bar machines with VDI 16 turrets. The Emcoturn E25 is a single-spindle lathe with a tailstock and a 6,300 rpm spindle. The Maxxturn 25 adds the counter spindle and the Y axis and raises spindle speed to 8,000 rpm.
