EM100 Series: large capacity machining centers

The EM100 Series is a unique concept in machine tools: giant CNC machining centers designed to machine the heaviest engine blocks quickly and accurately — and yet as easy to use as a smartphone thanks to Rottler conversational programming. No programming knowledge is required: an operator is trained in a few days.

Once the part is mounted and the cycle started, the machine does everything: boring of a complete bank of cylinders, a full line of bearings, multi-pass surfacing while the operator works on another machine. Jobs are done in a third of the time of a conventional machine.

XXL size, fine precision

Traveling column on linear roller guideways, large-diameter direct-drive ball screws, hard-chrome sliding spindle: the Rottler design proven since 1923, at the scale of 8-tonne blocks.

Complete unattended cycle

Automatic Cycle software: wireless Renishaw probing (option), cylinder-to-cylinder boring, automatic bearing line, rough + finish surfacing. The operator mounts the part, presses “Cycle Start” and moves on.

Fixed part, traveling column

Open-column design: the part stays fixed on the table, the column moves above it. Very heavy or oversize setups are placed and clamped easily — including construction equipment parts.

Built-in special repairs

Custom programs directly on the touch screen: rework of corroded water passages (e.g. CAT3500), automatic offset lower sleeves, bearing cap shims, thrust faces by circular interpolation.

Frequently asked questions

Before you choose.

Up to what block size?

Up to V20 blocks (CAT3520, C175 V20, MTU 4000 V20, Cummins QSK78) on the EM105H. The EM103H covers on-highway and mid-size blocks, the EM104H the large engines of mining, oil and gas, power generation and marine.

How long does it take to train an operator?

A few days. Rottler conversational programming requires no programming knowledge.

What does the machine do unattended?

The complete cycle: boring of a bank of cylinders, bearing line, rough and finish surfacing, while the operator works on another machine.
