Technical Description
The Heller Machine Tools CP 8000 is a robust 5-axis horizontal machining center designed for high-performance machining of large, heavy workpieces. It features a cross-bed machine design ensuring maximal rigidity under high clamping loads, with a horizontal spindle equipped with an HSK-T100 taper operating up to 8,000 RPM as standard, and optionally up to 12,500 RPM. The spindle is powered by an 80 HP motor with a 106 HP option, delivering high torque for demanding cutting tasks. The machine supports a generous table size of 31.4" × 31.4", capable of carrying workpieces up to 4,400 lbs.
The CP 8000 includes a standard rotary table and an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a capacity of 54 tools, expandable to 400 tools, enabling flexible production with rapid tool changes in about 6.3 seconds. It is equipped with a pallet changer system featuring two pallets for efficient workpiece handling. The machine operates on five axes (X, Y, Z linear axes; A and B rotary axes), with travels of 49.2" in X and Y, and 55.1" in Z, and rotational axes capable of 195° (A) and 360° (B), providing immense versatility for complex, multi-sided machining.
Rapid traverse rates reach up to 1,965 inches per minute on linear axes, optimizing cycle times. The structure uses cast iron with topology-optimized components for maximum stability, damping, and precision. The CP 8000 is engineered for heavy-duty milling, turning, and multi-axis machining, suitable for industries requiring complex, precision components with large dimensions and weights.
