A little unit of normality.
300 visitors at the HEDELIUS in-house exhibition 2020.
Seeing machines under chip removal, talking shop, networking - for three days, the machining centres were once again buzzing in the large demonstration centre at HEDELIUS and many of the 300 or so visitors clearly enjoyed feeling the trade fair atmosphere again after the long break due to coronavirus. "It almost felt like normality," summarised Managing Director Dennis Hempelmann. "And that's a good feeling. I would like to thank all our guests and co-exhibitors for being there."
The premiere of the in-house, highly productive MARATHON P406 automation solution for production-accompanying fixture automation in single parts or small series production was very popular. In combination with the ACURA 65 5-axis machining centre and the standby magazine as a large tool store, tooling times can be drastically reduced. In addition, the "little brother" of the MARATHON P422 shines with perfect accessibility. The six pallet locations, which are designed for a clamping weight of 250 kg each, can be rotated, which is unique in this class. HEDELIUS Maschinenfabrik is thus consistently pursuing its strategy of offering integrated in-house automation solutions.
The TWINNER concept - a linear interlinking of an ACURA 50 and an ACURA 65 with an INDUMATIK Light 120 - and automation solutions with a robot cell from BMO or a pallet magazine from EROWA also attracted a great deal of interest.
HEDELIUS sales engineer Holger Lienau showed very clearly in his presentation "Precious metal scaffolding and set-up phobia - treatment methods and successes" that automation that saves non-productive time and ensures quality is a key to higher productivity and greater economic success.
Despite the great interest in automation, visitors also focused on the wide range of possibilities offered by the TILTENTA swivelling head series machining centres and the 3-axis machines from the FORTE series. HEDELIUS had installed a total of 15 machining centres for the in-house exhibition, some with automation solutions. The offer for visitors was rounded off by an accompanying trade exhibition with well-known partner companies and guided tours of the ultra-modern HEDELIUS production facilities.

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.
