HELLER FP 6000 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The HELLER FP 6000 is a high-performance horizontal 5-axis machining center engineered for demanding production environments requiring precision, flexibility, and robustness. Featuring a traveling-column design with a rotating table, the FP 6000 delivers extensive axis travel of 39.37 inches (1,000 mm) on the X and Y axes, and 51.181 inches (1,300 mm) on the Z axis, enabling the machining of large and complex workpieces. The machine is equipped with a 630 x 630 mm pallet (24.803 inches square), supporting workpiece weights up to 1,500 kg (3,307 lbs), with optional configurations for increased load capacity. Its 5-axis configuration, with the fifth axis integrated into the tool, allows for powerful 5-sided and simultaneous 5-axis machining, ideal for intricate geometries and high-accuracy applications. The FP 6000 utilizes an HSK-A 100 spindle interface, ensuring high torque and rigidity for heavy-duty cutting, while the redesigned swivel heads and integrated motor spindles enhance dynamic performance and surface finish. The machine’s structure is optimized through FEA analysis, combining rigidity with lightweight construction for superior precision and long-term reliability. Rapid traverse speeds of 65 m/min and acceleration rates up to 7 m/s² on the linear axes ensure short cycle times and high productivity. The FP 6000 features advanced CNC control, supporting seamless integration into automated production lines, and offers compatibility with HELLER’s H and FP series for flexible automation solutions. With a focus on efficient chip disposal, short idle times, and easy maintenance, the FP 6000 is designed for maximum uptime and versatility across a wide range of materials and batch sizes.
