HELLER MACHINE TOOLS FP 14000 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Heller Machine Tools FP 14000 is a high-performance 5-axis horizontal machining center optimized for heavy-duty, precision manufacturing. It features a large 39.3" x 39.3" work table supporting workpieces up to 8,800 lbs, equipped with a standard rotary table for versatile positioning. Its horizontal spindle, with an HSK-A100 taper, operates at up to 8,000 RPM (optionally 12,500 RPM) powered by an 80 HP motor (optionally 106 HP), delivering substantial cutting power and stability. The machine employs a 54-tool automatic tool changer (ATC), expandable to 400 tools, with rapid 8.5-second tool changes, enhancing operational efficiency. A standard pallet changer with two pallets allows continuous workpiece loading and unloading, reducing downtime. Axes travels cover 94.48" in X, 62.99" in Y, and 62.99" in Z, each with a rapid traverse speed of 1611 inches per minute, complemented by full 5-axis capability with 195° A-axis rotation and 360° B-axis rotation, facilitating complex profiling and multi-surface machining. The machine’s structure incorporates roller bearing linear guides and large YRT bearings in rotary axes for maximum stiffness and thermal stability, enhanced by direct, absolute measuring systems for unparalleled positional accuracy. This robust design supports heavy cutting forces while maintaining precision for large-scale, complex workpieces common in aerospace and general mechanical engineering sectors. The FP 14000 combines advanced spindle dynamics, rigid construction, and sophisticated tooling with thermal compensation and integrated cooling systems for high uptime and quality machining.
