HECKERT HEC 1600 U5 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Heckert HEC 1600 U5 is a precision horizontal machining center designed for advanced multi-axis component manufacturing. This CNC-controlled system features a Siemens Sinumerik 840 D control platform, delivering reliable automation for complex machining operations. The machine offers generous working envelope dimensions with X-axis travel of 110.24 inches, Y-axis travel of 70.866 inches, and Z-axis travel of 82.677 inches, accommodating workpieces up to 3,000 mm edge length and weighing up to 8,000 kg. The system is powered by a 61.7 horsepower spindle operating at a maximum of 6,000 RPM, providing adequate torque and speed for diverse cutting operations. The HSK-A100 tool taper interface ensures quick and precise tool changes with minimal runout. The pallet system measures 49.213 by 62.992 inches, optimizing part fixturing and reducing setup times. This modular design allows extension with an NC swivel head for 5-axis machining capabilities, enabling simultaneous multi-sided part completion in a single clamping operation. The machine excels in producing transportation and industrial components with precision tolerances to IT 5/6 specifications. Its flexible architecture supports stand-alone operation, integration with pallet storage systems, or deployment within automated flexible manufacturing systems for unattended production. The HEC 1600 U5 reduces manufacturing cycle times while maintaining superior machining quality through complete assembly-ready part production capabilities.
