News from HEDELIUS Maschinenfabrik.

What do the Olympic Games have to do with metalworking? At first glance, not much. Some might immediately think of the customary bite that winning athletes take out of their medals. But it’s worth taking a closer look – because the right equipment can make all the difference when it comes to those crucial hundredths of a second. When German athletes compete for medals at the Olympics, in many cases there is a great amount of development and manufacturing work behind the scenes. At the Institute for Research and Development of Sports Equipment (FES) in Berlin, this also includes CNC technology from HEDELIUS Maschinenfabrik in Meppen.

(PDF | DE) Machining large workpieces flexibly whilst reducing unproductive downtime: The TILTENTA 9-2600 with MARATHON LR810 combines the advantages of a universal travelling-column machine with high-performance heavy-duty automation. During the day, the machine remains freely accessible for the manual machining of large and complex single parts, whilst the automation system enables additional productive spindle hours outside regular shifts. Up to ten pallet locations and a transfer weight of 2,000 kg provide the ideal conditions for this.

Steingross Feinmechanik GmbH & Co. KG specialises in the manufacture of sophisticated CNC-turned and CNC-milled components – from prototypes through to series production. Founded in Berlin in 1990 by Uwe Steingross, the company sees itself as a comprehensive system supplier of CNC machining technology and combines modern milling and turning processes with surface treatment, precision finishing, final assembly and design consultancy. Since 2019, Steingross has been relying heavily on HEDELIUS as a technology partner – including for the automation of its manufacturing processes.

From 15 to 19 September 2026, HEDELIUS Maschinenfabrik GmbH will be presenting three automation solutions at the AMB in Stuttgart, designed to meet a range of requirements in single-part and small series production. The focus is on productive manufacturing concepts that maximise spindle running time, reduce set-up time and give manufacturing companies greater flexibility in handling changing orders. A particular highlight is the premiere of the new MARATHON LR810 heavy-duty automation system. The systems can be seen in action in Hall 10, Stand D71.

Milling and turning in one clamping: In the new product video, the TILTENTA MILLTURN shows what modern complete processing looks like today. The continuous machining process reduces reclamping operations, increases process reliability and creates the basis for the economical and precise production of complex workpieces. Experience the TILTENTA MILLTURN in practical use and discover the advantages of economical and process reliable complete processing on one machine.

(PDF | DE) Would you like to automate your CNC manufacturing, increase machine uptime and reduce downtime, without taking on high risks or completely overhauling your production? With the HEDELIUS phased approach, you can develop your automation step by step. From a pre-configured stand-alone machine right through to autonomous CNC manufacturing, you can create a solution that suits your processes, your capacity and your growth. This allows you to reduce set-up times, increase spindle running times and boost your output without interrupting your ongoing production.

The GEWO Feinmechanik GmbH & Co. KG relies on the 3-axis machining centre FORTE 85 Single 1620 from HEDELIUS for the production of high-precision components. The decisive factors for the investment were the high machine stability, the large Y travel path and the compact design of the CNC milling machine. In daily use, the FORTE 85 impresses with its precise machining results, high level of user-friendliness and economical production, even with difficult-to-machine materials. GEWO also reports productivity increases of 15 to 20 per cent and emphasises the partnership-based cooperation with HEDELIUS.

In modern CNC production, no two jobs are the same: Today prismatic 3-axis machining, tomorrow complex 5-axis components and then the machining of shafts, tubes or mouldings. With the FORTE 65 with rotating/swivelling table, HEDELIUS offers a machining centre that adapts quickly and efficiently to changing requirements for maximum productivity and safety.
