CNC Innovation in Viticulture: ERO Chooses HEDELIUS

ERO GmbH, based in Simmern in the Hunsrück region, has been one of the leading manufacturers of viticultural machinery since 1965. With innovations such as the ERO leaf-clearing rotary and the first grape harvester in 1981, the company has set international standards. Today, around 270 skilled workers are employed at the head office, where reliability and precision are paramount.

HEDELIUS ACURA 65 EL: 5-axis machining centre for automation

To ensure the highest quality in complex components, ERO relies on the ACURA 65 EL from HEDELIUS. This modern 5-axis CNC machining centre enables flexible and unmanned production shifts – including automated ‘ghost shift’ production.

Unmanned CNC production for maximum efficiency

The ACURA 65 accommodates batch sizes ranging from 1 to 1,000. Thanks to the integrated STANDBY magazine with 180 tools, set-up costs can be reduced by up to 50 per cent. The automatic measurement and readjustment within the machine are particularly valuable. This virtually eliminates scrap and ensures consistently high dimensional accuracy for surfaces and fits.

Tool magazine in CNC production: 50 per cent lower set-up costs

The STANDBY magazine accommodates 180 tools and ensures short set-up times – a clear advantage for both series and single-part production. The HEDELIUS solution also impresses with its efficiency and precision when dealing with frequently recurring components.

Robotic automation: HEDELIUS and BMO – the perfect team

The combination of the ACURA 65 EL and BMO robotic automation ensures seamless production processes. The 6-axis robot handles clamping device changes and workpiece handling. This means that production can continue reliably even overnight or at weekends – unmanned, precise and productive.

HEDELIUS Service: Rapid commissioning & complete reliability

From consultation through to commissioning, HEDELIUS’s service proved outstanding. The ACURA 65 EL was ready for operation after just five days, and production was able to begin as early as the sixth day. The solution thus meets both technical and organisational requirements to the highest standard.

Conclusion: Future-proof CNC manufacturing with HEDELIUS

ERO GmbH combines its innovative strength in viticulture with state-of-the-art manufacturing technology from HEDELIUS. The ACURA 65 EL enables efficient, unmanned and high-precision production. Quality, reliability and automation go hand in hand here.
