With the FORTE 65/85, HEDELIUS is introducing a new class of vertical machining centres in a modern travelling column design.
Workpieces of up to 2000 kg can be processed on the fixed machine table without restricting the high dynamics of the machine. Thanks to the special design of the travelling column – made wholly of grey cast iron, with the milling spindle at a constant distance from the guide shoes of the Z-axis – the series is impressive for its remarkable precision, surface quality and cutting performance.
It provides a superb solution for access to the working space and chip removal. Perfect for processing heavy workpieces, e.g. in toolmaking, but also for large chip volumes, e.g. in aluminium machining.
HEDELIUS sets trendsetting standards in vertical machining with the high-performance machining centres of the FORTE series.
Their compact design, the large Z-travel and the optimised chip fall are logical further developments in relation to previous machines and increase the area of operation and efficiency of the FORTE series. The newly designed workspace with vertical slatted covers and workspace encapsulation as standard further reduce the effort required for cleaning and maintenance. On the one hand, the cutting-edge moving column design enables machining of long workpieces and large one-off items while, on the other hand, from the FORTE 7-2600 upwards the workspace can be divided for series production in pendulum mode. Clamping and setup parallel to machining virtually eliminates unproductive downtimes and significantly increases your competitiveness.
