EMCO Mecof’s Powermill HPC3 redefines large-scale gantry machining with power, flexibility and digital control for high-production industries.

Built for an Italian customer involved in general mechanics, this machine stands out for its ability to combine structural robustness and compactness while ensuring a large working area, high performance and Industry 4.0 digital solutions.

Powermill G3 HPC3 combines the robustness of large mechanical structures with the innovation and versatility of the solutions offered by Mecof to meet the customer's requirements for precision and reliability.

Customisable high-gantry EMCO solution with multi-head flexibility and full Industry 4.0 connectivity.

Thanks to its combination of generous dimensions, high precision, advanced automation and digital connectivity, the Ecomill Plus HPC3 is an ideal choice for general engineering companies looking to increase their competitiveness and productivity.

GF Casting Solutions relies on the Hyperturn 65 Powermill G2 and the EMCOTURN E65 CNC turning centre. Thomas Klade, team leader of contract manufacturing, reports on the effective operation of the two Emco machines.

With effect from 1 October 2024, Alexander Steinacher will succeed Horst Rettenbacher as CFO at the long-established Austrian company.

In machine tool manufacturing, one of the main preconditions for ensuring productivity and delivery readiness is a cleanly structured production process, with precisely timed production sequences and reliably functioning manufacturing systems. This can only be achieved if the customer and supplier take a common, goal-oriented approach to production chain projects.

The machine base and the slide geometry of the HYPERTURN 45 G3 have been redesigned to enlarge the working space and accommodate a wider turret clearance to allow the integration of a 16-station tool turret and a larger Y-axis stroke of +/- 40mm. The machine remains compact, and the 72° slant bed perfectly supports the ergonomic requirements and optimal chip flow. What is more, EMCO offers holistic solutions for the automation of machine tools, e.g. “Turn/Mill Assist”, a standardised automation solution and currently the most compact solution for loading and unloading EMCO turning and milling machines.

As a logical consequence of successfully establishing the Umill 1800 and Umill 1500 on the market, EMCO is now enlarging its portfolio with the new Umill 750 - size X = 750 mm. The efficient vertical milling machine for simultaneous 5-axis machining with its compact design and low installation space requirements allows even large components to be machined. The use of European components guarantees users highest precision and surface quality.
