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.

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.
With the TILTENTA MILLTURN, HEDELIUS is opening a milling and turning machining centre on the market for the first time that combines both machining steps in one machine, thus enabling a continuous manufacturing process. Instead of having to reclamp workpieces several times or switch between different machines, the entire machining process takes place in one stable clamping, which simplifies processes and reduces sources of error. Find out how the concept works in detail, what possibilities arise in practice and for which applications the MILLTURN is particularly suitable.
