Equipped with a Bigbore 51 spindle as standard, the Hyperturn 50 has a larger bar capacity for greater flexibility in bar machining. In addition, the drive power of 8.8 kW and 12,000 rpm allows powerful milling operations, even in demanding steel materials. Naturally, the Hyperturn 50 also features state-of-the-art control technology from FANUC with the FANUC 31i-B Plus or Sinumerik ONE, both with EMCONNECT user interface. The HT50 can be automated either with various bar feeders or with an EMCO swivel loader, EMCO gantry loader or the Robojob Turn-Assist for piece feeding.

The HYPERTURN 50 impresses with a large spindle distance of 760 mm for collision-free machining with two turrets. The extended working area offers sufficient space for the integration of BMT turrets in 12- or 16-position versions. With the precision interface for fast set-up and the direct drive for high-performance milling of complex workpieces, this option is the first choice. The water-cooled direct drive delivers 8.8 kW, drills and mills at up to 12,000 rpm and enables 20 Nm torque. The stable and precise BMT interface guarantees a long tool life. All in all, the user has more options for machining workpieces and increasing productivity.

Machine design

The 72° inclined bed forms the core of the machine. Designed as an extremely rigid and compact welded steel construction, it forms the basis for a robust and precise lathe. Reinforcements provide additional rigidity in areas subject to higher stress. The use of steel instead of conventional machine casting offers advantages in terms of rigidity and the thermal behavior of the lathe during the warm-up phase. All guides are designed as preloaded roller guides. These are screwed onto precisely machined support surfaces and sealed with spring steel cover clips to prevent contamination. Fixed stainless steel covers in the working area increase operational safety and service life.

Main spindle/counter spindle

The high drive power of the spindles, combined with optimal torque, ensures operational productivity when cutting steel and cutting aluminum at high speed. Integrated spindle motors (ISMs), equipped with large high-precision bearings make it possible to achieve exceptionally high rotation speeds, coupled with extremely good true running characteristics.

Symmetrically-designed spindle stocks combined with temperature sensors on the bearing points and liquid cooling ensure high thermal stability.

In the HYPERTURN 50, the counter spindle is mounted on a linear roller slide and can travel over a distance of 510 mm. A parts ejector with stroke monitoring and cooling ensures the finished parts are safely placed on a conveyor. On request, the clamping cylinder without through-hole can be replaced by a hollow clamping cylinder with a 45 mm diameter through-hole for removing long slender parts through the counter spindle.

Using the latest control and drive systems by Siemens / Sinumerik ONE, or Fanuc 31i-B Plus, both of which also come with EMCONNECT, the machine can be programmed in a straightforward and effective way. The new height-adjustable and rotatable operating panel offers extraordinary ergonomics, especially during prolonged programming work. An innovative, multi-colour LED status bar has been integrated into the machine cladding so that the operator can always keep track of the current machine states.

EMCONNECT
A digital process assistant for the comprehensive integration of customer- and system-specific applications for controlling the machine and the production flow, EMCONNECT interlinks and networks the production environment. In order to create more efficient work processes without losing sight of the machines’ outstanding reliability in all operating modes, the operating sequences focus on the user and their requirements.

With EMCONNECT, users can access important additional features directly via the control panel, which means that it is possible to access all important details, data and systems directly and centrally at the machine. EMCO’s modular system makes it possible to implement even project- and customer-specific applications in an extraordinarily flexible way. Thus, EMCONNECT is the key to ideal work processes and increased productivity.

The range of available apps is continuously being expanded. As of now, for example, you may download our Option Shopfloor Data for the collection of machine and operating data. It ensures comprehensive monitoring of all machines as well as process organisation in the production area. This product is characterised especially by machine and manufacture independence and mobile access to the machine state using a smartphone or tablet PC.

In order to minimise machine downtimes, we are currently developing the EMCONNECT Data Service for targeted preventive maintenance.

The Emco machines, which are tailored to the company’s needs, have reduced machining times and improved efficiency. The EMCOTURN E65 is used for the autonomous production of screw cores, which has reduced production time by two-thirds, while the Hyperturn 65 Powermill G2 has simplified and optimised production processes.

Emco’s collaboration has been praised for its precision, reliability and technical support.
This strategy allows GF Casting Solutions to maintain a high standard of quality and efficient production, while ensuring optimal and ready-to-use internal spare parts management.

NFEC Certificate for the Membership

NFEC gives you a commitment to work on my issue that directly affects your Centre. You will also have complete access to all of the facilities provided through this web site, you will benefit from price reductions for NFEC conferences and you will have open access to all of NFEC’s free Regional and other Dissemination events.

NFEC was developed in 1992, as the National Forum for Engineering in Colleges, at the time when colleges became incorporated. There was a general feeling among providers that engineering and the related technology subjects in the post-16 Sector were under threat, and this was quickly confirmed with the introduction of the Training and Enterprise Councils, outcome-related funding and the development of a market economy in education and training.

NFEC was formally launched in June 1993, at its first National Conference in Birmingham; colleges of further and higher education were invited to come together to establish NFEC as a corporate membership organisation. They did so, NFEC was born and its constitution (aims, objectives and rules of operation) was agreed by the delegates. In subsequent years NFEC was very successful in helping members maintain and enhance the quality of learning from craft to degree level. Membership steadily increased, to more than 200 organisations.

In recognition of the need to be truly representative, across the provision of engineering education and training at sub-university level, NFEC members agreed at its AGM in December 2003 to change its name to one more representative of this broader ‘constituency’. Accordingly, from 1 August 2005 NFEC was re-launched as a new limited charitable company and is now known as the National Forum of Engineering Centres. Its aims, role and rules of operation are very much the same as the organisation from which it emerged. NFEC‘s membership now includes Colleges, Group Training Associations, Employers and Individuals and it has a broad representation within the 14-19 and post-16 sectors.

Today NFEC‘s subscribing Member organisations together deliver over 85% of the post-16 engineering and technology education and training provision in Engineering and the related Technologies.

The level and rate of change within education and training are as great now as they have ever been and the need for a representative body like NFEC is no less than it was in 1992. Our success relies entirely upon the weight of opinion behind us when we challenge the funding and policy issues that confront Members. So join us, give us your support and help us to help you!

NFEC’S ROLE

NFEC‘s primary aim has always been to represent the needs and concerns of its Members. All of its actions are designed to promote the relevance and quality of the engineering and related technology provision and to confront any and all issues that might impede the delivery of quality learning. A key part of this is helping to ensure that sufficient resources are available so that quality can be both maintained and enhanced.

NFEC contributes to the design and interpretation of Government initiatives, to the development of National Standards and the design of related Qualifications. In this we work closely with the SSCs, Awarding Bodies, the Royal Academy of Engineering, EngineeringUK and the Engineering Council and we take part in all relevant Government Consultations.

A further key ‘strand’ of NFEC’s role is awareness-raising and continuing professional development, for both managers of learning and delivery staff, so that they are able to stay abreast of changing curriculum and qualifications needs. Previous success in this work was to develop and deliver a £1.6M LSC-funded Dissemination of Good Practice project in Engineering and Construction, with outstanding levels of participation and benefits for the Sector. An important aspect of that work has been retained and remains available to Centres, across Engineering and Construction, in the form of NFEC’s Critical Friends Service. It responds to specific individual centre needs and is entirely confidential.

NFEC’S PARTNERS

NFEC maintains close and productive links with any and all other relevant organisations in working for the interests of our Members and the Sector. Relevant organisations are those that have a bearing on the environment in which learning in engineering and technology is delivered. NFEC works with them to establish consensus views that will influence or modify any policies, systems or procedures that do not contribute positively to the quality of training and education in our Sector.
