HECKERT HEC 800 X5 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Heckert HEC 800 X5 is a highly productive horizontal 5-axis machining center designed for complete, efficient machining of complex workpieces in a single setup. This medium-sized machine features generous working envelopes with X-axis travel of 57.087 inches, Y-axis travel of 43.307 inches, and Z-axis travel of 51.181 inches, accommodating substantial component geometries. Powered by a 67.1 horsepower motor, the spindle delivers maximum speeds of 6,000 RPM with rapid feed rates reaching 65 m/min across the primary axes and 60 m/min rotational velocity. The machine incorporates a 40-tool automatic tool changer equipped with HSK-A 100 taper tooling for streamlined production workflows. The integrated 5-axis capability combines a rotary B-axis with a 360-degree rotation range and a swivel A-axis with a range of +45 to -91 degrees, enabling comprehensive 5-side machining without repositioning. This eliminates multiple clamping operations and reduces production times while improving accuracy. The square pallet measuring 31.496 inches on each side facilitates secure workpiece positioning. Control is managed through the Siemens Sinumerik 840D SL CNC controller, offering exceptional precision with long-term workpiece accuracies of 7 microns even during transitions between rough and finish machining operations. A mechanical pallet clamping system and optional Safe Shutdown functionality ensure operational security and reliability in demanding manufacturing environments.
