Complex 5-sided machining of large molds and aerospace components requires a machine that combines high dynamics with exceptional rigidity. EMCO UMILL 1000 is a 5-axis universal machining center with a moving column gantry structure, offering 900×1000×700mm travels and a 800mm swivel-rotary table with 1,000kg load capacity. The 38kW motor spindle delivers 15,000rpm and 138Nm torque. X and Y axes use linear motor drives with 6m/s² acceleration and 50m/min rapid traverse. A-axis swivels ±125° with direct measuring systems. Standard X/Y/Z linear scales ensure positioning accuracy.

What size workpieces can the UMILL 1000 handle?

The UMILL 1000 handles workpieces up to 900mm in X, 1,000mm in Y and 700mm in Z, with a maximum table load of 1,000kg on the 800mm diameter swivel-rotary table. The A-axis swivels ±125° with direct measuring systems, enabling 5-sided machining in a single setup. This covers most mold components, aerospace brackets and general engineering parts. This replaces 3-axis machines that require multiple setups for complex geometries.

What makes the linear motor drive system unique?

The direct drives in X and Y axes allow high performance in acceleration (6m/s²) and rapid traverse (50m/min). This ensures maximum precision and high dynamics. The moving column concept with optimal accessibility provides excellent chip removal and flexible automation options. This replaces ballscrew-driven machines that cannot achieve the same acceleration and dynamic performance.
