HECKERT HEC 500 D DYNAMIC HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Heckert HEC 500 D Dynamic Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance 4-axis CNC machine designed for heavy-duty metal machining with exceptional precision and efficiency. The worktable measures 19.69" (L) x 24.80" (W), supporting workpieces up to 1,320 lbs, and features a standard index table with an optional rotary table for enhanced flexibility. The horizontal spindle utilizes an HSK A 63 taper (SK 40 optional), delivering a maximum speed of 15,000 rpm (20,000 rpm optional) and a 30-minute power rating of 67 HP (44 HP optional), ensuring robust cutting performance for demanding applications. Tooling is managed by a chain-type automatic tool changer with a standard capacity of 60 tools (expandable to 320), and a chip-to-chip tool change time of just 2.7 seconds. The machine is equipped with a standard 2-pallet changer, streamlining production for high-volume operations. Axis travels are 29.52" (X), 29.52" (Y), and 28.54" (Z), with maximum feed rates and rapid traverse speeds of 3,930 ipm on all linear axes, enabling fast and accurate part processing. The HEC 500 D Dynamic is engineered for thermal stability, long-term accuracy, and high process reliability, making it ideal for series production and complex machining tasks in the metalworking industry.
