Live at the HEDELIUS demonstration centre.
High-end automation cell with 33 pallets and 480 tools.
Live in the demonstration centre
The linking of an ACURA 50 EL and an ACURA 65 EL via the Indumatik Light 120 pallet handling system is now ready for demonstration. The Indumatik Light 120 loads the 5-axis CNC machining centres with 400 x 400 and 200 x 200 mm pallets. The demonstration system stores a total of 33 pallets (12 units of 400 x 400 mm and 21 units of 200 x 200 mm). Other pallet dimensions are of course possible. Both processing centres are equipped with an HSK A63 spindle with 18,000 rpm and a standby magazine. A total of 480 tool positions are available on both CNC machines (235 tool positions on the ACURA 50 and 245 tool positions on the ACURA 65).
The innovative ACURA concept with side loading enables the automation of an ACURA 50 EL and an ACURA 65 EL with a pallet magazine or a robot cell. Do you have full order books? No problem, both machines run automatically around the clock. Do you need to run in new parts? No problem, one machine runs automatically and you can run your parts in at your leisure on the other. Does your customer need a single part quickly? No problem, one machine continues to run automatically and you produce the single parts on the second. As at least one machine is always running automatically, you can optimally utilise the full capacity of an automated system. The staged investment option is also well released. At the beginning, for example, a machining centre plus automation is purchased. As soon as the orders increase, a second machining centre is added to the system. The space requirements and scope of investment are significantly lower than those of a classic linear interlinking system.

What do the Olympic Games have to do with metalworking? At first glance, not much. Some might immediately think of the customary bite that winning athletes take out of their medals. But it’s worth taking a closer look – because the right equipment can make all the difference when it comes to those crucial hundredths of a second. When German athletes compete for medals at the Olympics, in many cases there is a great amount of development and manufacturing work behind the scenes. At the Institute for Research and Development of Sports Equipment (FES) in Berlin, this also includes CNC technology from HEDELIUS Maschinenfabrik in Meppen.
(PDF | DE) Machining large workpieces flexibly whilst reducing unproductive downtime: The TILTENTA 9-2600 with MARATHON LR810 combines the advantages of a universal travelling-column machine with high-performance heavy-duty automation. During the day, the machine remains freely accessible for the manual machining of large and complex single parts, whilst the automation system enables additional productive spindle hours outside regular shifts. Up to ten pallet locations and a transfer weight of 2,000 kg provide the ideal conditions for this.
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.
