Heckert DBF 630 provides single clamping symmetrical and asymmetrical part production

The Heckert DBF 630 offers accuracies of up to 5 µm on a machine with 1,700 Nm of torque and is particularly suited to complete machining of pump and valve housings, fittings, packing flanges, rock bits and chassis components. These are difficult geometry parts that are produced from difficult to machine materials. Journals and seats require high quality turning of the non-rotation symmetrical parts combined with drilling and milling work. Several clamping positions are needed on conventional machines and it is not unusual to split the work between machining centres and turning machine. A radial facing slide designed as the NC axis in the Heckert DBF 630 horizontal machining centre also enables precise and cost-efficient machining of complex, asymmetrical workpieces in a single clamping. The variable speed 35 kW spindle drives milling or drilling tools at a maximum speed of 3,500 rpm in their centre setting. The slide displaces the rotating turning tool radially by ±35 mm when turning on the fixed workpiece. Compensation weights integrated into the machining head combined with balanced tools automatically compensate for any imbalances and support speeds of up to 1,200 rpm and cost-efficient cutting speeds of up to 250 m/min. The customer can purchase the DBF range in a variety of sizes with pallet dimensions of 630 by 630 mm to 1,000 by 1,000 mm.
