HELLER H 16000 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The HELLER H 16000 is a high-performance 4-axis horizontal machining center designed for heavy-duty cutting operations and complex workpiece machining. This machine features generous working envelopes with X-axis travel of 94.488 inches and Y/Z-axis travel of 62.992 inches, accommodating large workpieces up to 8,000 kg clamping load. The robust pallet system measures 49.213 inches wide by 62.992 inches long, providing substantial workspace for diverse manufacturing applications. The H 16000 incorporates five machining units with HSK-A 100 tool shanks, delivering powerful spindle performance with torques up to 1,146 Nm at reduced duty cycle. The machine is built on a rigid, topology-optimized cast iron structure ensuring exceptional stability and damping characteristics even under heavy loads. Advanced features include anti-friction linear guideways with roller bearings, stable YRT bearings in the rotary table, and direct absolute measuring systems with glass scales for maximum precision and minimal positioning tolerance. The dual NC-axis tool changer employs a lift/swivel principle, achieving fast automatic tool changes with optimal movement sequences for reduced chip-to-chip times. Thermal stability is maintained through precision cooling units and spindle thermal growth compensation. The machine's horizontal configuration with integrated pallet changer and workpiece loading station enables high productivity with short non-productive times, making it ideal for batch production and job shop environments requiring versatile 4-axis machining capability.
