Automation of TILTENTA swivelling spindle machining centres.
Increasing demand for automation solutions for TILTENTA machining centres.
The demand for automation solutions continues to grow. Numerous machining centres in the ACURA series have already been equipped with pallet handling systems or robots in recent years. But the demand for automation solutions for our TILTENTA machining centres is also increasing.
The machining centres of the TILTENTA series are mainly used in single parts and small series production due to the high universality of the combined 5-axis and long part machining. With additional automation, customers aim to utilise the machine and space with maximum productivity, e.g. through automatic operation in an additional shift or even at weekends. As an example, we will show you how a TILTENTA 9 machining centre with an X travel path of 2600 mm is equipped with a BMO Platinum robot system with a combination of pallet and workpiece loading. The machine was equipped by HEDELIUS with a rotary transfer and pneumatic system to control the zero-point clamping system, an automatic door and a robot interface. The automation was carried out directly by our automation partner.

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.
