Heckert HEC 500 D

4-axis machining center

With a flexible package allowing machining of a huge variety of materials in all sectors of the metal working industry, the highly dynamic machining centers from the HEC 400 D can be individually adapted to specific production tasks. Specially for alloy machining, Heckert also supplies centers with our dynamic package, which deliver excellent speed, rapid feed and acceleration figures. The version with power package is intended for highly productive heavy-duty cutting with increased power.

Key benefits:

– Thermal stability for high cutting capacity
– Long-term accuracy in series production, class IT 5
– Environmentally compatible dry machining
– High energy efficiency
– Increased process stability and low operation production
– Comprehensive control and monitoring functions
– State of the art service and diagnostic system (SAM)
– Versatile use as stand-alone machine, manufacturing cell with pallet storage or integrated into flexible manufacturing systems
