EMCO machining days
EMCO has hold in Hallein/Salzburg between 24 and 27 April 2007 one of Austria’s most informative events about machining. Under the slogan “EMCO-Designed for your Profit”, the machine builder had put on show its broad product range in the areas of turning, milling and complete machining. In its recently opened, ultra modern demonstration center, interested customers viewed the latest machines in action. 32 highly reputable co-exhibitors framed the EMCO program, exhibiting their turning, milling, erosion and grinding products in this center and in a specially erected exhibition hall. In cooperation with all of the big name toolmakers – including Ceratizit, Sandvik and Walter – productive applications and solutions on the most varied of EMCO turning and milling machines were displayed. Manufacturers of peripheral systems like the measuring equipment maker Marposs, Zoller with its tool presetting equipment and the chucking tool specialist Rцhm, as well as the EMCO partner FESTO, a specialist in pneumatics and mechatronics, completed the range of exhibitors.
