HECKERT X45 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Heckert X45 Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance, five-axis CNC machine engineered for precision and efficiency in demanding production environments. With an X-axis travel of 27.559 inches (700 mm), Y-axis travel of 29.528 inches (750 mm), and Z-axis travel of 29.528 inches (750 mm), the X45 offers a large workspace in a compact footprint, making it ideal for complete machining of complex components in a single setup. The machine is equipped with an HSK-A100 spindle taper, supporting heavy-duty cutting and high rigidity for superior accuracy and surface finish. Its five-axis capability enables versatile machining of intricate geometries, while the CNC control system ensures seamless integration with automation and advanced programming. Designed for maximum productivity, the X45 features a thermo-symmetrical structure for enhanced thermal stability, optimal damping, and high process reliability. The machine supports a tool magazine with up to 320 tools, fast pallet change times (12.5 seconds), and a maximum workpiece core contour of 600 mm, accommodating a wide range of part sizes and materials. With a loading mass capacity of 400 kg and pallet dimensions of 400 x 400 mm (or 400 x 500 mm), the X45 is suitable for both small and medium-sized workpieces. Its robust construction, combined with high axis speeds and rapid chip-to-chip times, delivers increased throughput and reduced cycle times. The Heckert X45 is a reliable solution for industries requiring high precision, flexibility, and productivity in horizontal machining applications.
