Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides a detailed technical description of the Escomatic NM 6 FLEXI machine, highlighting its unique features, technical specifications, and operational advantages. The machine is designed for high-performance manufacturing with flexibility and speed.
Escomatic Principle: Unlike conventional lathes, the Escomatic lathes use a unique concept where the material does not rotate. Instead, the cutting tools rotate around the material, allowing for efficient manufacturing of various lot sizes and contributing to high performance and cost savings.
Key Features:
  • Independent cross tables for front and back machining units, allowing simultaneous manufacturing of two parts.
  • Four turning tools on the rotating tool head, with options for Escomatic cutting tools or inserts from other suppliers.
  • High-speed manufacturing enabled by independent machining units.
  • Electric drive and console programming for flexible and precise material straightening.
  • Easy operator access and programming using Fanuc 0i-TF control.
Technical Specifications:
  • Max material diameter: 6.50 mm
  • Workpiece length: 150 mm
  • Toolhead speed: 10,000 RPM (12,000 RPM optional)
  • Front machining unit with 3 axial powered tools and optional lateral tool
  • Back machining unit with 4 fixed axial tools and 2 lateral powered tools
  • CNC control: FANUC Oi-TF with 7 controlled axes
  • Dimensions: 2,270 x 1,600 x 1,700 mm (without coil reel)
  • Net weight: 1,600 kg
Operational Advantages:
  • High productivity due to the Escomatic principle and short turning times.
  • 24-hour production capability with coil feeding.
  • Reduced material waste and efficient material feeding.
Additional Features:
  • Material is fed from a coil and straightened to bar stock quality.
  • Front machining unit equipped with 3 axial spindles for drilling and threading, with an optional fourth spindle for side operations.
  • Counter spindle with C axis and up to 10,000 RPM speed, allowing for multiple tool use and flexible operations.

NM6 Flexi-1

MORE FLEXIBLE, MORE VERSATILE, FASTER TECHNICAL DATA Unlike conventional lathes, escomatic lathes are based on a unique concept. The material, which is coil stock or bar, does not rotate. The cutting tools mounted onto the spinning tool head rotate around the material. This concept equally qualified for the manufacturing of small, medium and large lot size parts, contributes to the extremely high performance and cost savings achieved with escomatic machines. More flexible, more versatile, faster Thanks to the new design and to the use of two completely independent cross tables for the front and back machining units, the NM6 FLEXI breaks the limits of flexibility and performance. Two parts can be manufactured at the same time: one part machined in the turning and front machining unit while the second part positioned in the counter spindle is undergoing back and side operations.

MORE FLEXIBLE, MORE VERSATILE, FASTER escomatic.ch TURNING MATERIAL FEED The material is supplied into the machine from coil. A coil, depending on the type of material, usually has 30 to 60 kg and is unrolled from a reel independent of the machine. The material is pulled across the machine by the material feed system. The machine could be equipped with a bar loader replacing the straightening unit as well as the reel and its support. The material is fed through a guide bush into the rotating tool head. The turning and cutting is based on the unique escomatic principle in which four turning tools...
