The Heller Machine Tools FP 10000 is a high-performance 5-axis horizontal machining center designed for complex and heavy-duty machining tasks. It features a large 39.3" x 39.3" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 8,800 lbs, allowing machining of substantial components. The machine employs a horizontal spindle with an SK 50 taper, optionally upgradeable to HSK 100, delivering speeds up to 8,000 RPM (optional up to 12,500 RPM) powered by an 80 HP motor (upgradeable to 106 HP) for robust cutting power.
The FP 10000 has a 5-axis configuration including X, Y, Z linear axes with travels of 62.99", 55.11", and 62.99" respectively, and rotary axes with 195° on the A-axis and 360° on the B-axis, enabling intricate 5-sided and simultaneous 5-axis machining. It is equipped with a 54-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) standard, extendable up to 400 tools, with a chip-to-chip tool change time of 7.1 seconds, optimizing productivity. A dual-pallet changer system is standard, supporting fast workpiece exchange and high throughput.
Rapid traverse rates reach 1,769 inches per minute on the linear axes, enhancing cycle times. The machine’s horizontal orientation, combined with robust spindle power and versatile 5-axis capability, makes it suitable for demanding aerospace, automotive, and heavy engineering applications requiring precision and heavy workpiece handling.
