The finest optics in a clean room and modern milling technology under one roof: at VITRONIC in Wiesbaden, high-tech meets craftsmanship. The company develops intelligent image processing systems that are used worldwide in logistics, industry and transport. VITRONIC relies on the TILTENTA 7-2600 NEO from HEDELIUS for maximum precision in production. The machine impresses with its flexible processing of individual and small series, well thought-out design, generous installation space and the possibility of expansion through pallet automation. Find out more about the successful collaboration between VITRONIC and HEDELIUS in the case study.

Highest precision, modern production technologies and a partnership-based cooperation with customers from demanding industries - Fraune Metallbearbeitung GmbH & Co. KG from Delbrück in East Westphalia is committed to this quality promise. In 2022, the family business led by Managing Director Heinrich Fraune took the first step into automated production - with the compact 5-axis machining centre ACURA 65 and the multi-pallet storage system MARATHON SR422 from HEDELIUS.

At Carstengerdes Modellbau und Zerspanung GmbH in Bockhorn near Wilhelmshaven, state-of-the-art technology meets a family working environment characterised by genuine appreciation. With the ultra-modern 5-axis machining centre ACURA 85 and the MARATHON 518 pallet handling system, the company focuses on automation and technical innovation - a major step forward that not only increases efficiency, but also offers young talents enjoyment of their work and long-term prospects.

Thanks to automation, IWK Verpackungstechnik has been able to significantly increase the production capacity of its HEDELIUS machining centres. By integrating a robot cell, the CNC operators gain valuable time that they can use for the manufacture of single parts. This solution enables IWK to increase its flexibility and further expand production efficiency.

Circelli Engineering Solutions GmbH from Dulliken is one of the start-ups in the Swiss manufacturing scene. Originating as a small design office, the young company has developed into a system provider thanks to its passion and investment in innovative CNC technologies. The founding brothers and owners Paolo Circelli and Marco Circelli explain the role played by the latest FORTE 65 and ACURA 65 machining centres from HEDELIUS.

BL Lasertechnik GmbH turned a disaster into a success story. Despite the devastating fire that destroyed its production halls, the company opted for a quick restart. Thanks to the support of partners such as HEDELIUS, production was resumed and even expanded in a very short space of time.

The powerhouse for heavy-duty machining - a TILTENTA 10-3600 from HEDELIUS Maschinenfabrik in Meppen - has been in the production hall just outside the gates of Eindhoven for a year now. The long-established Dutch company De Rooy machines very large, often complex workpieces from a wide variety of materials.

"Never change a winning team" - this could be the headline for the collaboration between HEDELIUS Maschinenfabrik and automation specialist BMO at the Dutch manufacturing company Edumar Metaalbewerking. On the way to even more flexible unmanned production, the choice has now been made for the second time in favour of a joint solution from the two manufacturers.

"In 2012, we were faced with the challenge of having to modernise our entire CNC chipping process," says Tim Sprenger, Production Manager at BAADER, looking back. "We wanted a supplier who was just as interested as we were in a partnership-based collaboration and who would approach the issue with us on an equal footing. We found what we were looking for with HEDELIUS."
