Heckert HEC 500 F

4-axis machining center

Our new F-type machine centers HEC 400F, HEC 500F and HEC 630F are focused on low investment costs, low space requirement, low energy and maintenance costs while guaranteeing a high level of accuracy, reliability and performance. The standard machine model already includes a motor spindle with 18,000min-1 and HSK-A63 tool taper, a rapid traverse rate of 65 m/min, a NC rotary table with 80 min-1 and an absolute measuring system in the linear axes. We offer production-relevant options, such as spindle torque up to 259NM or 6 channel hydraulic clamping system, as well as comprehensive systems for checks, diagnostic and monitoring purposes, which make these machine centers perfectly fit for Industry 4.0.

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
– Versatile use as stand-alone machine, manufacturing cell with pallet storage or integrated into flexible manufacturing systems
