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.

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.
