HECKERT HEC 1800 H HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The HECKERT HEC 1800 H is a precision horizontal machining center designed for efficient processing of large-sized and heavy workpieces. This 4-axis CNC machine features a spacious work envelope with X-axis travel of 133.86 inches, Y-axis travel of 110.24 inches, and Z-axis travel of 88.583 inches, accommodating complex geometries and large components up to 13,000 kg. The machine is equipped with a powerful 38.9 hp spindle delivering up to 6,000 RPM, enabling high-speed machining operations for milling, drilling, and threading applications. The flexible SK 50 tool interface accommodates an automatic tool changer with 40-tool capacity, minimizing changeover time and enhancing productivity. The work pallet measures 49.213 inches wide by 70.866 inches long, providing ample clamping surface area for diverse workpiece configurations. Controlled by a Siemens Sinumerik 840 D CNC system, the machine delivers exceptional precision with absolute direct measuring systems featuring 0.001 mm input resolution. High-precision sealed roller guides and holding brakes on all axes ensure repeatability and accuracy during multi-sided machining in single clamping positions. The modular design allows for customized configurations suited to single-item, series, or high-volume production environments. Measuring 42.3 feet in length, 36.4 feet in width, and 19.4 feet in height, with a total weight of 176,370 lbs, this industrial-grade machine delivers superior surface finish and reduced production cycle times through complete multi-sided part completion capability.
