Power and flexibility
Heavy CNC machining with easy programming
The PICOtre EVO is the CNC version of the heavy COMEV-Picotre series. It was developed for demanding machining of long, large, and heavy workpieces.
Its dialog-controlled CNC allows for easy program creation directly at the machine. Thus, the PICOtre EVO is suitable for both individual parts and repair work as well as for prototypes and small to medium series.
Four peak heights, numerous peak widths, and various spindle bores allow for precise adaptation to the workpiece and production task.
Monolithic machine bed with full support
Hydraulically switched three-speed gearbox
Dialog-controlled COMEV CNC
Electronic handwheels for X and Z
Stable base for heavy cuts
Massive cast construction, high axial thrust forces
and powerful spindle drive.
The PICOtre-EVO concept
The combination of CNC productivity and workshop proximity
The machine combines high machining performance with a operating philosophy that is also suitable for small quantities and frequently changing workpieces.
02
Dialog-controlled CNC
Machining programs can be created directly at the machine through understandable inputs and practical cycles.
03
Flexible configuration
Peak widths up to 10,000 mm, large spindle bores, turrets, C-axis, and driven tools enable individual machine solutions.
Construction and performance
For high cutting forces and reliable long-term accuracy
Spindle head, axis drives, guides, and machine bed are designed for demanding machining and long-term geometric stability.
Thermally stable monoblock construction
The hardened and ground main spindle runs in high-precision bearings and is lubricated by a separate oil pump with flow monitoring.
Automatic three-speed gearbox
The hydraulically shifted gearbox provides high torque at low speeds and a wide usable speed range.
ISO-5 ball screw spindles
Ground, backlash-free pre-tensioned ball screw spindles and directly aligned high-torque motors support high dynamics.
Up to 2,000 daN in Z
1,000 daN thrust force in the X-axis and 2,000 daN in the Z-axis enable powerful feeds during heavy machining.
550 mm bed width
Hardened and ground guides in a clamping setup ensure high rigidity and long-term precision.
Large X-axis working area
The generously designed slide allows for machining of permissible diameters even with horizontal disc turrets.

Dialog-driven programming
Machining cycles are created directly at the machine
using understandable input masks.
Electronic handwheels
The X and Z axes can be moved sensitively and
continuously during setup.
Manual and automatic operation
Manual work is performed close to the operator, automatic
programs safely with the door closed.
