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.

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.
