Escomatic – CNC – NM8 Flexi
The NM8 Flexi machine incorporates all the concepts of the NM6 Flexi machine that have made this lathe one of the most efficient products on the market.
Thanks to the new design and to the use of two completely independent cross tables for the front and back machining units, the NM8 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.
To meet the constraints of machining larger diameters, we have developed the following specific elements:
- New rotating tool head with material passage up to 8 mm
- Two CNC axes for the management of turning tools, which allows to 2 cutting tools to work simultaneously
- New material straightening device ensures high quality straightening up to 8 mm

Brand
For over 60 years, the ESCO company has been dedicated to and specialized in the development and manufacturing of automatic and numerically-controlled lathes used for the production of small diameter parts ranging from 0.30 to 8.00 mm. 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 are mounted onto the tool head which rotates around the material to produce the components. ESCO SA is represented by Agents or Distributors experienced on Escomatic products in more than 20 countries.
