How much does the Emco Maxxturn 45 G2 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Emco Maxxturn 45 G2 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
The Emco Maxxturn 45 G2 gives its counter spindle the same rating as its main spindle: 15 kW (20.1 hp) and 100 Nm (73.8 lb-ft) at each end, both listed as 0-7000 rpm. For a bar lathe with a passage of Ø 45 (51) mm, that symmetry is the point. The second operation can cut as hard as the first, so the work can be split evenly between the two sides and neither spindle waits on the other.
One 12-station VDI 25 turret serves both spindles, and every station can be driven. The milling drive is listed as 0-8000 rpm with 4 kW (5.4 hp) and 16 Nm (11.8 lb-ft). Y travel is 70 mm (2.8 in) in total, and Emco describes the axis as implemented directly in the machine construction.
The envelope is 160 mm (6.3 in) in X and 510 mm (20.1 in) in Z, with 720 mm (28.3 in) between the spindles and a maximum turning diameter of 300 mm (11.8 in). Because there is a single turret, the two spindles cannot cut at the same moment. Shops that need simultaneous machining on both sides should look at the Hyperturn 45, which carries a second turret on the same class of spindle.
Emco lists its own bar loader or swing loader for automation, and Siemens or Fanuc for the control. The machine weighs 4,000 kg (8,818 lb) and measures 2,662 x 1,790 x 2,080 mm (104.8 x 70.5 x 81.9 in).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Counter spindle matches the main spindle: 15 kW (20.1 hp) and 100 Nm (73.8 lb-ft) on both
- All 12 VDI 25 stations can be driven, at 0-8000 rpm
- 70 mm (2.8 in) of Y travel built into the machine structure
- Emco bar loader or swing loader available
- Compact for a twin-spindle machine: 2,662 x 1,790 x 2,080 mm (104.8 x 70.5 x 81.9 in)
Limitations
- A single turret, so the two spindles are machined one after the other
- Driven tools have 4 kW (5.4 hp) and 16 Nm (11.8 lb-ft), which limits milling cutter size
- Bar passage of Ø 45 (51) mm and a 300 mm (11.8 in) turning diameter cap the part size

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The bar diameter row reads Ø 45 (51) mm, a 45 mm passage with 51 mm as the larger alternative. Chuck parts can be turned up to 300 mm (11.8 in) in diameter, and the swing over the bed is 430 mm (16.9 in).
02
In the table, yes. Main and counter spindle are both listed with 0-7000 rpm, 15 kW (20.1 hp) and 100 Nm (73.8 lb-ft). That is unusual in this size, where the counter spindle is often the weaker one, and it means heavy cuts do not have to be kept on the first side.
03
All 12 stations of the VDI 25 turret can be driven. The drive is rated 0-8000 rpm, 4 kW (5.4 hp) and 16 Nm (11.8 lb-ft). Combined with 70 mm (2.8 in) of Y travel, that covers drilling, tapping and milling of flats and slots on bar-size parts.
04
Emco lists Siemens or Fanuc controls with dialog-supported programming. The EMCONNECT digital process assistant is named as an option. Confirm the exact control model with the quotation, because the product page does not state it.
