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.

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.
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.
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.
