Heller 5-axis machining centres offer choice of spindles

Heller's F series adds four 5-axis machining centres with SK 40 and HSK 63 spindle taper to the available machining centre range.

The new F series provides customers with the option to choose between two completely different machine types, FP, pallet models and FT, table-type models.
Both machine types feature the same axis arrangement as the established H series, with rotary table B-axis, and provide an optimum balance between rigidity and accessibility. The 2000 models offer a work area of 630 by 630 by 830 mm (X, Y, Z), while the two 4000 models provide 800 by 800 by 1000 mm capacity.
The F series machines are a complement the proven 5-axis MCH-C, with its swivel head unit, not a replacement, it I underlined. And although the machines use many components from Heller's proven modular building block system, the machine structure and axis configuration were specifically designed to meet the particular requirements of 5-axis machining.
At the core of the new machine series is its innovative spindle technology. There are three spindle units: a power cutting universal spindle, PCU 63, for high-performance cutting; a speed cutting unit, SCU 63; and a speed cutting tilt spindle, SCT 63, for speed cutting with a fork head.
While the two swivel-head units offer numerous advantages for complete machining of cubic parts, the fork head is ideal for the machining of contoured surfaces of any kind, via 5-axis simultaneous machining.
Each machining centre is equipped with a standard tool magazine that can be extended to more than 400 storage places as an option. And due to the F series' compatibility with the H series, customers can use established Heller automation systems (pallet pool, pallet magazines, robot solutions).
