Emco Maier CONCEPT MILL 55 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The EMCO Maier CONCEPT MILL 55 is a compact vertical machining center designed primarily for CNC training with capabilities comparable to industrial machines. It features a gray cast iron construction ensuring stability and rigidity. The worktable measures 16.5" x 4.9" and can support a maximum workpiece weight of 22 lbs. The machine offers 3-axis CNC control with travels of 7.5" (X), 5.5" (Y), and 10.2" (Z), with an optional Z travel of 4.7". The spindle operates vertically with a variable speed range up to 3,500 RPM, with an optional high-speed spindle reaching 14,000 RPM, driven by a 1.0 HP motor and delivering up to 3.7 Nm torque. A key feature is the optional 8-station automatic tool changer (ATC) with a swivel arm and pick-up system, accommodating tools up to 1 kg and diameters up to 40 mm (optional 60 mm). The machine includes roller bearing spindle support, grease lubrication, and automatic tool clamping. Rapid traverse and feed rates in all axes can reach up to 79 ipm, suitable for versatile machining operations on small parts. Additional options include a fourth axis indexing device, minimum quantity lubrication system, electronic handwheel, and integration interfaces for robotic loading or advanced CNC controls like Siemens and FANUC. Dimensions are approximately 960 mm x 1000 mm x 980 mm, with a machine weight of 220 kg, suitable for benchtop use in educational or small manufacturing settings. The Concept Mill 55 emphasizes ergonomic design, full work enclosure, and advanced control interchangeability to mimic industrial CNC environments for effective training and small-batch production.
