HECKERT HEC 630 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Heckert HEC 630 is a 4-axis CNC horizontal machining center engineered for versatile metal working applications. Featuring a Siemens 840D SL control system, this machine delivers robust performance with 67.1 horsepower and a maximum spindle speed of 4,000 RPM, optimized for heavy-duty cutting operations. The machining envelope spans 47.244 inches on both X and Z axes, with 37.402 inches of Y-axis travel, accommodating substantial workpieces and enabling complex multi-sided machining. The horizontal spindle orientation with HSK-A 100 taper provides excellent rigidity and precision, supporting tool diameters up to 160 mm. The 40-tool automatic tool changer with chain magazine configuration minimizes downtime and enhances productivity through rapid tool transitions. The NC rotary table accepts 24.803-inch square pallets, facilitating efficient workpiece positioning and enabling five-sided machining capabilities when paired with the optional pivoting horizontal/vertical milling head. The machine's thermo-symmetrical design and FEM-optimized cross-bed construction ensure exceptional dimensional stability and repeatability, achieving IT 5 machining quality. Advanced features include dynamic adjustment axes, sophisticated profile rail guides, and circulating ball screw spindles across all linear axes, delivering precise positioning and continuous accuracy. The modular design allows customization with variable spindle powers ranging from 40 to 105 horsepower and alternative tool magazine configurations, making it suitable for diverse production environments from job shops to flexible manufacturing systems.
