‘Safer, quieter’ machining
June 2018

EMMEGI is claiming safety, low sound levels, flexibility and ease of use among the key benefits of its new, fully enclosed Comet R6 machining centre.

The 5-axis machining centre with a 7.5m working range has a new guard enclosure, which comes as standard, for operator safety and reduced sound levels.

Iy can machine aluminium, PVC-U, light alloys or steel and has two modes of operation – single or double. Users can machine single bars at the full working range or machine two separate bars simultaneously in two independent work areas. In double mode, two additional NC controlled axes even allow the vices and reference stops to be positioned while the machine is operating, without an axis reference cycle being required.

The 8.5kW S1 electro spindle rotates from -15° to 90° on the horizontal axis and from 0° to 720° on the continuous vertical axis so that it can machine on all five sides of profile sections with very large overall dimensions.

The Comet R6 is said to be the first of a new generation of machining centres from Emmegi which comes with a new 24in fully adjustable suspended monitor. The monitor is touch screen operated and swings vertically so that the operator can see it from wherever they are working.

The machine has a 12-piece tool magazine as standard which is built into the lower part of the X-axis to speed up tool changeover times, and there is a sensor in the tool carrier to detect the correct cone position automatically.
