Venue: Shanghai New International Expo Centre
Visit us: Hall W5, Booth W5-A303
Visit EMAG at CCMT 2026 - one of the most important machine tool trade fairs in Asia. Under the theme "Technology. Connected.", EMAG will present five machines that are specifically designed to meet the requirements of humanoid robotics, electromobility, and precision drive technology.
From the complete-machining of complex gear components to high-precision external cylindrical grinding and fast gear grinding, EMAG will demonstrate how quality, productivity, and cost-effectiveness can be combined in batch production.
We look forward to seeing you there - let our experts provide you with an advisory service and discover which solutions can take your production to the next level.
Turning, grinding, gear cutting – manufacturing technology for robotics and e-mobility
Our Exhibition Highlights:
WPG 7 – Compact external cylindrical grinding machine for planetary roller screws
Planetary roller screws convert rotary movements with high force density and minimal friction into linear movements – a key component for humanoid robots and positioning systems. The threaded spindle requires form and position tolerances in the single-digit µm range and surfaces of Ra 0.4.
EMAG's WPG 7 is specially designed for external cylindrical grinding of such precision components with a workpiece length of up to 250 mm. With a footprint of only 1.8 × 2.4 m—including the electrical cabinet, cooling system, and lubrication—the machine achieves roundness deviations of less than one micrometer. The powerful grinding wheel with a diameter of up to 500 mm and peripheral speeds of up to 50 m/s ensures productive grinding processes.
Thanks to optional gantry automation, in-process measurement with Marposs technology, and intuitive Fanuc control, the WPG 7 is suitable for the economical machining of medium series – manually or fully automated.
VLC 350 GT – Turning and power skiving of circular splines for shaft transmissions
Circular splines—rigid hollow wheels with internal teeth—are among the key functional elements of harmonic drives. They determine the positioning accuracy, running behavior, and service life of the drive system. The requirements for concentricity, coaxiality, and gear quality are correspondingly high.
The VLC 350 GT combines hard turning, grinding, and power skiving on a single machine platform – for components up to 350 mm in diameter. The NC-swiveling internal grinding spindle enables the machining of various internal contour angles. In combination with the proven pick-up- automation, all reference and functional surfaces are manufactured in as few setups as possible.
The result: reproducible precision with high output – even with the thin-walled structure of these components.
VL 200 GT – Turning and grinding wave generators in a single setup
The wave generator is the central input element in the harmonic drive and places the highest demands on form and position tolerances in the µm range. The VL 200 GT enables the complete-machining of this component – hard turning, milling, and grinding – in a single setup. This eliminates the need for re-clamping and the associated reference errors.
The combination of a 12-station turret, powerful external grinding spindle, and internal grinding spindle ensures that the elliptical inner contour of the wave generator is manufactured with maximum precision. The integrated pick-up automation ensures short non-productive times and consistently high output. Surfaces with Rz < 1.6 µm are reliably achieved.
The VLC 200 GT is particularly suitable for series and large-series production of gear components and offers an excellent price-performance ratio.
VT 2-4 – Vertical 4-axis shaft turning machine for rotor shaft production
Rotor shafts for electric motors require short cycle times with consistently high precision – especially in the growing series production for electromobility. The VT 2-4 was developed precisely for these requirements: Four axes, short travel distances, and a powerful main spindle enable simultaneous machining from two sides.
Two turrets, each with eleven stations – all of which can be equipped with turning and driven tools – ensure maximum flexibility. Automation is fully integrated: while one gripper removes the finished part, the other already feeds in a new raw-part. Depending on the component, the workpiece changeover takes only about six seconds.
The vertical design guarantees free chip fall and prevents chip clusters. With a compact footprint and the option of link-up in production lines, the VT 2-4 offers a future-proof solution for shaft production.
G 160 – Fastest gear generating grinding machine for planetary gears
Planetary gears in planetary gearboxes must meet the highest requirements for gear quality and surface finish—especially in electromobility or robotics, where quiet running characteristics are crucial. The G 160 from EMAG sets new standards in this area: With a chip-to-chip time of just 1.6 seconds, it is the fastest gear generating grinding machine in its class for components up to module 4 and an O/D of 160 mm.
The machine concept is based on two parallel table groups with linear motor drives, which alternately move at high speed to the grinding wheel. This means that while one workpiece is being machined, the next one is already being loaded or measured—cycle time-concurrent. The elimination of a physical tangential axis in favor of virtual Y-Z interpolation brings the tool contact point closer to the pivot point and almost completely reduces so-called ghost frequencies on the surface.
For small planetary gears, the G 160 achieves lead times of only 13 seconds – from the raw-parts to the finished gear. Topological grinding, polishing grinding, and noise-optimized tooth profiles round off the technology portfolio.
EMAG is demonstrating their whole range of multifunctional, future-orientated machining solutions for metal components at the CCMT 2026 from April 21-25, 2026.
