HECKERT HEC 1800 U5 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Heckert HEC 1800 U5 is a premium horizontal machining center designed for high-precision 5-axis machining of complex workpieces. With generous axis travels of 3,400 mm (X), 2,800 mm (Y), and 2,335 mm (Z), this machine accommodates large components up to 2,700 mm in height. The 61.7 kW spindle delivers up to 6,000 RPM with HSK-A100 tool taper compatibility, enabling efficient material removal across diverse applications. The expansive 1,800 mm by 1,250 mm pallet system supports workpieces weighing up to 13 tonnes, facilitating complete multi-sided machining in a single clamping operation. Controlled by Siemens Sinumerik 840 D CNC technology, the machine offers modular design flexibility with optional NC swivel heads for advanced 5-axis capabilities, allowing high-precision drilling, milling, and thread machining of intricate shapes. The machine features a two-stage high-performance main gearbox with pneumatic circuit and energy recovery systems during axis braking, ensuring top-class energy efficiency suitable for 3-shift unmanned production. Equipped with serrated ring couplings for highly precise swivel positioning and 5-fold precision bearings, the HEC 1800 U5 delivers exceptional rotational accuracy. Optional extendable quill technology provides superior rigidity for heavy-duty operations, including deep internal features and complex machining of large castings. This versatile machine serves transport and industrial components sectors, delivering production and processing time reductions while maintaining superior machining quality and lowering logistic costs through comprehensive one-setup capabilities.
