THE OMEC TRADITION

The 750 model is a token of the Omec tradition.
This machine was designed in 1965 and was the
first automatic milling machine that was launched
in the market by Omec. It was manufactured in
several thousands of pieces and many
competitors have tried to copy it with no
equivalent success.

The feeding of workpieces occurs by means of a
system of tooth plates and cams that
automatically move the tool. Looking from the
operator’s station, the work cycle occurs from the
right side to the left side, sliding all along the
length of the work top. A special stop tells the
milling unit to go back to the cycle start point.
When small-size workpieces are machined (80120mm) it is possible to reduce the work cycle by
moving the workpieces towards the machine
centre and displacing the stop accordingly.
The OMEC 750 milling machine has a fixed pitch (
(the distance between the centres of joints is
25mm). It is also available with an extended work
top (Omec 750-L) to machine boards up to
900mm, and with a tilted work top (Omec 750-I) to
machine dovetails on curved and shaped drawers.
In time, this machine has been enhanced with the
addition of new developments based on acquired
experiences, on new production technologies and
on European safety standards. It is now more
compact and boasts an excellent level of reliability
and quality in machining.
The machine can be controlled by a control panel
fitted directly on the machine, and processing is
possible with two different tool feeding speeds, so
that the tool’s feeding speed can be adapted to
the different types of processed material.
Workpieces are locked manually by means of
pneumatic cylinders controlled by lever-operated
valves that are fitted onto the machine base. This
machine can process single male workpieces,
single female workpieces as well as combined
male-female workpieces.

The milling machine is very easy to use. Adjusting
screws can all be accessed from the front side of
the machine base.
The spindle is fitted with an eccentric milling cutter
with only one cutting side. Therefore, after the
sharpening procedure, the outer diameter can be
adjusted by simply rotating the milling cutter
towards the + symbol. This adjustment allows
