Modular CNC Turn-Mill Centers for Versatile Production Machining



The HYPERTURN 95 and 110 are designed to expand the EMCO Maier range for complex, complete machining with high levels of productivity. The machines utilize a modular system of construction, providing a choice of two bed lengths, two spindle sizes, with a milling spindle and a B-axis or with two turrets. According to the company, a new state-of-the-art control and drive technology make for greater user-friendliness and increased productivity.

Useful for the automotive, energy and aviation industries, it has the ability to machine rod, shaft, flange or cubic parts. The HT 95 handles bar stock to 95 mm and chucking work to 315 mm, and the HT 110 handles bar to 110 mm and chucking work to 500 mm.

"Complex and time-consuming milling, drilling and even gear cutting operations can be carried out in a single set-up," said a company spokesperson. "No reclamping or interim storage is required. HYPERTURN can also reduce total process times, set-up and labor costs and space requirements."

The modular structure and comprehensive range of components make it possible to adapt the HYPERTURN 95/110 to customer requirements. In addition, the B-axis option (PowerMill) is designed to further increase production efficiency. In this version, the machine is equipped with a high-performance milling spindle with a hollow-shaft motor. It features standard a 40-piece tool storage magazine (80-piece optional) with Capto-C5 or HSK-A63 holders. This provides for a wide range of milling options, which makes it suitable for the complete machining of complex parts with a high milling content.

Expanding the HYPERTURN series with the optional new EMCO CPS Pilot is intended to further increase effectiveness during cutting. Customers can plan, program, simulate and optimize production runs on their PCs using a 3D model with this software.

The machine base forms the core of the machine. The compact, rigid construction in the monoblock design absorbs vibrations that may arise during machining, facilitating precision work on the workpiece. There are two base lengths available: the 1,700 with a maximum turning length of 1,300 mm and the 2,300 with a turning length of 1,900 mm.

The HYPERTURN 95/110 has two spindle options. The HYPERTURN 95 is designed with two water-cooled spindle motors with an output of 33 kW and a top speed of 3,500 RPM. High dynamics and optimum torque curves are designed to provide cost efficiency in the machining of shafts and the cutting of compact flange workpieces. With a two-step gearbox and an A2-11 spindle nose, the HYPERTURN 110 offers requirements needed for the heavy roughing of large flange and shaft parts. A maximum torque of 2,480 Nm permits large infeed depths in the case of large feedrates without restriction. A spindle with an A2-11 chuck nose is also used on the counter spindle. The maximum output is 42 kW, and offers torque in excess of 1,000 Nm.

The implementation of the C-axis is dependent on the spindle variant. In the case of the motor spindle, the integrated synchronous motor positions the C-axis with high precision and a high degree of rigidity. In the case of an A2-11 size spindle, the positioning of the C-axis is implemented via an additional swing-in drive. The spindle and workpiece are held or brought into position at up to 2,000 Nm. The resolution of the circular axis is 0.001°. This makes it easier to create complex contours on the perimeter or on the face.

The Y-axis has been integrated into the machine construction for enhanced stability and longer tool life. According to the company, this means that complex milling operations can be performed with a large traversing range of +/- 120 mm.

The tailstock version of the HYPERTURN is particularly suitable for machining shaft parts in large series, as well as for manufacturing complex workpieces in small series. The tailstock is completely NC controlled and can be positioned using a circulating ball spindle. This also enables interpolation with other axes, reducing the machining time.

The simplest design of the HYPERTURN 95/110 contains two turrets, each can take 12 VDI40 tool holders and all the stations can be powered. "Fitted with a VDI quick-change system and an EMCO alignment plate, there is no need for the time-consuming task of aligning the axially set tools," said the spokesperson. "Short tool change times accelerate the processes. All of the toolholders are fitted with an internal coolant supply, increasing tool life and improving chip removal."

The generous work area provides enhanced ergonomics and accessibility to the individual components. Open space enhances chip flow, even when machining complex materials. All guides are covered in stainless steel sheets to prevent damage. The machine guarding on the HYPERTURN 95/110 offers protection against the discharge of chips and coolant. A large safety glass window in the door provides a clear view of the work area while built-in buttons make the machine easier to operate.

This turning and milling center is controlled via the Sinumerik 840D-sl with an OPERATE user interface that includes: USB port for data transmission, clear and intuitive controls, animated input aids, extensive technology cycles, high-performance 3D simulation, Ethernet as standard and more. It also features the latest generation of SINAMICS drive and servo control from Siemens.

According to the company, the Hyperturn 95/110 is designed for optimized energy efficiency in all the relevant areas:

  • Use of a drive system with regenerative capacity
  • Hydraulics in periodic duty
  • Energy-efficient motors for the coolant system and chip disposal
  • Low-friction roller guides
  • Automatic switch-off after a defined idle time.
