Large 4- and 5-axis universal machining centres from 1000 to 1800 mm pallet size.
The flexible and modular-designed horizontal 4 and 5 axis machining centers enable complete and multi-side machining in one clamping position, reducing production and processing times, increasing the quality of processing, and minimizing logistics effort. The model series offers four sizes, a wide range of workspindle variants, process-optimized solutions for tool and workpiece handling, and innovative process controls and monitors.
- 5-side machining in one clamping
- Maximum dynamics in positioning mode and simultaneous operation
- High rotational accuracy through 4-fold precision bearing
- Optimal machining with max. 67 kW and up to 8,000 rpm
- Serrated ring couplings guarantee highly precise swivel position
- Automatic compensation of axial spindle extension under heat and sag compensation
The flexible and modular-designed Heckert Large HEC Series guarantee optimum results in the economic processing of large-sized and heavy workpieces with an edge length of up to 3,600 mm and up to 15,000 kg in all material qualities.
Modern machine concept:
- Compact machine design with movable column
- FEM optimized modular components
- Functional groups with a low number of components
- Central arrangement to reduce maintenance
- High static and dynamic stability ensures optimum cutting performance
- Closed frame standards for high rigidity and accuracy
- Extremely large working areas with optimal travel paths and lifting positions of working spindle
- Large distances between guideways
Fields of Application:
- V12 Engine block: 15% increase in efficiency thanks to pick-up tools and NC quill
- Locomotive engine: Saving 39% processing time by reducing non-productive time
- Cam chain cover: 32% increase in productivity thanks to multi-sides clamping
Spindles:
- Compact, bend-resistant spindle with high torsional stiffness, modifiable in power up to 82 kW and speed up to 12,500 rpm
- Material removal rate in steel processing 1,800 cc/min
- 4-fold precision bearing ensures high accuracy and smooth running
Wide range:
- Powerful horizontal spindles, modified power & speed
- Horizontal/vertical milling heads for 5-side machining
- NC quills for low-lying form elements and long travels
- NC swivel head for all-round machining (Heckert HEC 1000 U5, 1800 U5)
Energy efficiency:
- Drive system: Energy recovery when axes are braking, use of servo drives with high efficiency, energy use according to demand, warm-up program supports resumption of production without delay
- Hydraulic with accumulator charging circuit: Most efficient strategy to supply hydraulic energy, pressure-free oil circulation reduces base load and energy requirements and improves oil quality
- Coolant high-pressure circuit: Automatic shutdown of the pump motor, pressures and pump outputs can be adapted, use of variable pressure reducing valves, speed-controlled pump motor (optional)
- Compressed air: Automatic shutdown, use of high quality pneumatic systems, full functionality at low system pressure of 5 bar
- Cooling systems: Operate in intermittent mode with low switching frequency, interface for central cooling-water connection for further energy saving
- Optimized mechanical system: Use of low-friction roller-bearing guides in all linear axes
Machine sizes: Huge, modular and flexible. Edge length up to 3,600 mm and up to 15,000 kg workpieces.
