HECKERT HEC 1000-1800 H HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Heckert HEC 1000-1800 H Horizontal Machining Center is a robust, modular machine designed for high-precision and efficient machining of large and heavy workpieces. The standard table size measures 31.4 x 39.3 inches, with an optional larger configuration of 39.3 x 49.2 inches, supporting workpieces up to 17,600 lbs. The machine features a horizontal spindle with a #50 taper, capable of speeds up to 6,000 RPM (optional up to 10,000 RPM), and delivers a 30-minute power rating of 66 HP (optional up to 112 HP). The tooling system utilizes an ATC chain magazine, accommodating 60 tools as standard and up to 320 tools as an option, with rapid tool changes and a standard pallet changer for increased productivity. The machine operates on three linear axes (X, Y, Z), with optional fourth-axis capability, and offers extensive travel ranges: X-axis up to 110.23 inches, Y-axis up to 78.7 inches, and Z-axis up to 82.67 inches. Maximum feed and rapid traverse rates reach 1,572 inches per minute on all axes, ensuring fast and accurate positioning. Optional support includes index and rotary tables for enhanced flexibility. The HEC 1000-1800 H is engineered for demanding industrial applications, providing reliable performance, high load capacity, and the ability to handle complex, multi-sided machining tasks with minimal setup changes.
