Heckert HEC 1000-1800 H

Large machining center are ideal for rapid, cost-effective, complete machining of large and heavy workpieces (swing diameter up to 3,300 mm, maximum weight: 13,000 kg). The modular design provides maximum flexibility and allows tailored production solutions to be created. The center deliver high precision, process optimised and energy efficient machining of housings and prismatic workpieces, primarily in the agricultural machinery and the motor industry, equipment manufacture, pump and compressor production and the wind energy sector. These Horizontal machining center are based on a very extensive modular concept. The modular design includes the major components, the tool and workpiece handling units, the design of the working spindles, with modified power and speed configurations, and the control options. The centers can either be used as stand-alone machines, extended into manufacturing cells with pallet storage or as operator-free units integrated into a flexible manufacturing system (with pallet storage system and additional modules). The «Planetary TurnMill device» (PTM®) is one of the key highlights: The facing plate carries two radial, infinitely variable, facing slides with a tool holder for different turning tools. The weight is counter-balanced not by weights, but using the two synchronously extending slides.
