A CNC Machine with Nine Controls
One obstacle to training the next generation of machine operators and engineers is exposing them to the variety of machine types and controls they are likely to encounter when they are hired. A community college in Illinois has the answer—training machines from Emco Maier with exchangeable control panels. Find out how students and their potential employers benefit.

How One College Meets the Need for Trained Manufacturing Hands
One obstacle to training the next generation of machine operators and engineers is exposing them to the variety of machine types and controls they are likely to encounter when they are hired. A community college in Illinois has the answer—training machines from Emco Maier with exchangeable control panels.

Turning Center Capable of Gear-Cutting, Milling and Drilling
EMCO Maier’s Hyperturn 65 Powermill offers a spindle clearance of 1,300 mm along with a counter spindle to enable four-axis machining and a B axis with direct drive for five-axis simultaneous milling operations.

New President at EMCO Maier
Phillip Hauser takes the reins at the U.S. arm of the Austrian machine tool builder.

EMCO Changes Hands, Relocates U.S. Office
The EMCO Maier Group is under new ownership, and the turning and milling machine supplier’s U.S. arm, EMCO Maier USA, has relocated from Columbus, Ohio to Novi, Michigan.   The Kuhn Group (Salzburg, Austria), a distributor of heavy equipment,  purchased the EMCO Maier Group (Hallein, Austria) from A-Tec (Vienna, Austria) in a bidding process that involved five other groups.   EMCO says the takeover news was well-received by its 630 employees, and the anticipation is that the new owner will strengthen and support the expansion of its headquarters and help it grow globally in markets including Brazil, Russian and China.   Guenther Kuhn, Kuhn Group CEO, says EMCO will help his company diversify into a promising market.

Turn-Mill Builder Takes a New Turn
EMCO Maier is asserting its position as a producer of advanced turn-mill machines and CNC precision lathes for both production houses and job shops.

The Other Face of EMCO Maier
Just classroom training machines? No way! Visiting machine tool builder EMCO Maier in Austria, its home country, showed MMS Editor Mark Albert that the company is an important producer of advanced turn-mill machines and CNC precision lathes for both production houses and job shops.

Universal Turning Center for Complete Machining
Emco’s Hyperturn 45 universal turning center features two high-performance spindles, two tool turrets and a Y axis.

CNC Maximizes Machining Efficiency
Siemens' Sinumerik 840D control allows this shop to run its machines virtually glitch-free. 

Turning Centers Yield Solutions With Support
When this process engineer went searching for new turning centers for the Black&Decker plant in Fayetteville, North Carolina, he knew that he needed reliable machines, but he did not have a specific vendor in mind.

Teaming Up For Turning Efficiency
When a Federal-Mogul Corporation's work volume increased five years ago with Ford Motor Company to manufacture polytetraflouroethylene (Teflon) PTFE piston rings, they turned to automated CNC turning centers to turn out millions of rings per year.
