HECKERT HEC 1600 P 150 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Heckert HEC 1600 P 150 is a 4-axis horizontal machining center designed for flexible and precise multi-sided machining of large, heavy workpieces. It features an extensive X-axis travel of 110.24 inches, Y-axis travel of 82.677 inches, and Z-axis travel of 82.677 inches, providing ample machining envelope for large components. The machine is powered by a 55 hp spindle motor delivering up to 5,000 RPM with an SK 50 tool taper, enabling high torque and efficient material removal. Tool handling is facilitated by a 40-tool automatic tool changer, optimizing productivity during complex machining cycles. Workpieces are mounted on a large pallet measuring approximately 49.213 inches in width and 62.992 inches in length, designed to support substantial loads stably. The machine utilizes a Siemens Sinumerik 840 D CNC control system, offering advanced programmability and precision control for complex machining operations. Its horizontal spindle orientation and 4-axis configuration allow complete machining in one clamping, reducing setup times and enhancing accuracy. The HEC 1600 P 150 is particularly suited for heavy-duty industrial applications requiring robust performance, high precision, and flexibility, such as machining large castings or transmission housings. Its modular design and proprietary process control systems enable integration into flexible manufacturing systems for unattended, multi-shift production, ensuring efficiency and quality in demanding machining environments.
