A compact universal turning centre for processing chuck and bar work offers everything: C-axis, powered tools, powerful digital drives and a choice of fully equipped CNC systems.

Design to Cost is Emco's motto for the launch of its new high class turning centre, now available at an amazingly competitive price in the 45mm bar capacity market. A top European product, made in Austria, it meets every challenge expected of a 'State of the Art' lathe. A machine that brings together the highest European quality with a very low price, to produce high-precision parts at unbeatably low piece part prices.

An honest machine, with high customer value.

* Design to cost as the guiding principle - low cost with the highest performance is not just a slogan with this machine.

Emco's design department has made it a reality.

Back in mid- 2004, we started developing a whole new generation of machines.

The 'Design to Cost' principle was the highest maxim for this development work.

Increasing production efficiency as much as possible was the highest priority from the beginning.

At the same time, all the components that provide the performance, precision, and long life of the machine were kept and improved upon wherever possible.

* Finest machine construction - the Emco development engineers and production group have done their jobs well.

The first impressive result was the very successful Emcoturn E65 CNC turning centre, which now has a little sister in the E45.

The E45 replaces the Emcoturn 345 in the Emco portfolio.

It is a compact universal turning centre for processing chuck and bar work.

Just as its predecessor, this machine offers everything that a good turning centre should these days: C-axis, powered tools, powerful digital drives and a choice of fully equipped Siemens or Fanuc controls.

Emco promises the finest workmanship, down to the last screw, 'Made in Austria' - for high precision parts and long machine life.

Nigel Bunt, joint managing director, Said 'This further development of the 'E' line of turning centres provides a range of entry models for our customers'.

'It now means that we can cover all of our customers turning needs from EMCO, with the competitively priced 'E' range of machines through to the multi axis mill-turn machines and fully automated solutions.' * About HK Technologies - HK Technologies is a leading provider of machine tools and offers the latest technological products and solutions to the manufacturing industry.
