With a powerful counter spindle permitting 4-axis machining, a B-axis with a direct drive for complex 5-axis simultaneous milling operations, and an additional Y-axis for the lower turret, the new Hyperturn 65 Powermill from EMCO Maier helps improve productivity for series production.
The Hyperturn 65 Powermill is particularly interesting for the serial production of workpieces, for example in the automotive, mechanical engineering and materials handling, and aerospace industries.
Complex as well as costly turning, drilling, milling and gear cutting operations can be carried out in just one set-up. Additional clampings and the temporary storage of parts are no longer necessary and workpiece precision is greatly improved.
Total production time, fixture and personnel costs, as well as floor space requirements can be reduced with the Hyperturn.
With a spindle distance of 1300 mm, the Hyperturn 65 Powermill has a large clearance for simultaneous machining on the main and counter spindles. With 29 kW and 250 Nm of torque, the counter spindle now has enough power to machine the workpiece simultaneously with two tools for greater machining productivity.
The milling spindle with 29 kW, 79 Nm torque and 12,000 rpm, delivers high productivity in the complete machining of complex workpieces. The B axis direct drive gives the Hyperturn 65 PM good dynamics and contour capabilities with 5 axis simultaneous machining, alongside shorter tool change times. The additional Y-axis on the lower turret makes extensive milling work possible at the same time as machining with the milling spindle.
The powerful milling spindle with HSK T63 tool interface can be used for both turning and drilling/milling work. The milling spindle can be continuously swiveled within a range of +/ 120° and clamped anywher. With a useful Y travel of +120/ 100 mm, even the most complex of machining work can be carried out. This includes gear-cutting operations, turning/milling work for crankpins, 5 axis machining, and much more. The tools can be prepared according to the customers requirements with a 20 piece pick up magazine, or a 40 or 80 piece chain magazine.
The Y axis was realized by two interpolating axes, resulting in a distribution of the cutting force in two levels and adds stability to heavy duty turning and milling. This means the lower turret with integrated milling drive can also be used for complex milling operations at all 12 positions, combined with a Y-axis with +/ 50 mm travel.
EMCO is based in Salzburg Austria. EMCO is part of Kuhn Group and currently employs around 800 staff at a total of 4 production facilities in Austria, Germany and Italy.
