With its new UniversalTurn 50, Emco says it is setting the next milestone in the complete machining of bars and chuck parts. Developed for maximum precision, dynamics and process reliability, the compact, high-performance turning centre offers powerful drive systems, an integrated Y axis for extended milling and flexible automation concepts.

Whether complex turned and milled parts for mechanical engineering, the automotive industry, medical technology or defence – the UniversalTurn 50 impresses with its rigidity, intuitive operation and scalable equipment, reports Emco. Thanks to established Emco technologies combined with progressive new developments, users are said to benefit from efficiency, high cost-effectiveness and high levels of manufacturing quality.

The high-precision turning centre is designed for the efficient and complete machining of bars up to 51 mm diameter bore. An integrated Y axis supports extended milling and helps to maximise machining versatility, while dynamic drive systems deliver fast machining cycles and high accuracy.

A compact counter spindle means users benefit from precise rear-side machining without additional re-clamping. Furthermore, a powerful tool turret with up to 12 driven tool positions adds to a list of further advantages provided by the UniversalTurn 50 that include: a stable cast machine bed for rigidity, damping and process reliability; an absolute measuring system for repeat accuracy without reference point homing; intuitive operation with the SINUMERIK ONE control (optionally available with FANUC 0i plus control from 2026); and access to scalable automation solutions that range from integrated swivel loaders to gantry systems.

Emco says the new machine is a fully co-ordinated machine concept – made in the heart of Europe – for applications in mechanical engineering, automotive, medical technology, defence and more.
