First linear concatenation sold.
Two ACURA machining centres with EROWA Leonardo.
The unique HEDELIUS concept with two in-line 5-axis machining centres from the ACURA 50 and ACURA 65 series, which are connected via an automation system, is becoming increasingly popular. Having already sold several systems, we are now pleased to be able to supply the first solution together with EROWA. In this case, the linking is carried out by an EROWA Leonardo pallet handling system with 24 pallets of 320 x 320 mm each.
Machining centres for this automation.

In manufacturing companies that mainly produce small batch sizes, every spindle minute counts - or so the theory goes. In practice, however, the proportion of productive spindle time compared to working time is often less than 40 per cent. The search for tools, clamping devices and information, as well as set-up, tie up valuable resources and leave many operating companies far behind their potential. There are many ways to sustainably close flexibility - and thus performance - in production. But every manufacturing company is different. The trick is therefore to find your very own recipe for success.
Advancing automation has long since arrived in mechanical engineering and contract manufacturing - but many companies still face challenges, especially when it comes to small batch sizes. While large-scale production is already largely automated today, flexibility in smaller quantities, which are often the order of the day in contract manufacturing, poses a particular challenge. How can automation be made to pay off here too without presenting machine operators with insurmountable hurdles?
