    ACURA

    5-axis machining centres with rotating/swivelling table mounted on bearings on both sides.

ACURA series: small dimensions, maximum precision.

The ACURA series was developed to enable complex workpieces to be machined not only with high precision, but also reliably and quickly in 5 axes. The modern travelling column concept is just as impressive in high-productivity parts production as it is in performance machining. The type of ACURA with a constant vertical axis eliminates the disadvantages of many conventional machining centres and ensures better accuracy and higher cutting performance. Thanks to its small dimensions, an ACURA can also be integrated into almost any production facility. A large sliding door and the low machine bed height provide perfect access to the rotating/swivelling table of the 5-axis machining centre. This makes it easier to set up and control the machining process for single parts and small series production. The stainless steel cover and vertical cladding in the work area ensure exemplary chip fall and reduce the amount of cleaning required. Crane loading is possible without restriction.

Automation with ACURA
  • The superior Z axis

    The ACURA series impresses with its unique design of the constant Z-axis, first-class milling performance and maximum precision in 5-axis machining. The design with a rotating/swivelling table mounted on bearings on both sides, hydraulic clamping and high-precision drives enables the machining of demanding workpieces.

  • Flexibility through automation

    The ACURA EL models have a side loading opening and pneumatic or hydraulic control of zero-point clamping systems and devices. Pre-configured standard interfaces from many well-known third-party providers are available for the electrical connection of the ACURA EL to an automation system.

  • Lateral automation

    Lateral loading of the machining centre with pallets or workpieces means that the work area remains fully available for set-up and control work, but also for single part production during the day shift, for example. Even crane loading of the machine is still possible without restrictions.

  • Compact design

    Despite their compact design, the ACURA machines offer a generous work area that enables efficient processing of even large workpieces. This means that the available production space is optimally utilised.

  • Ergonomic operating concept

    The smooth-running work area door with the large viewing window makes it easier to set up and adjust the machine. Tools can be loaded and unloaded from the front during machining.

  • Future-proof and energy-efficient

    ACURA machines are equipped with advanced drive technology that will meet even future requirements. Thanks to the use of energy-saving components, they also make a significant contribution to sustainable and resource-saving production.

  • Thermal stability

    Equipped with liquid-cooled milling spindles and optional multi-sensor temperature compensation, a high level of thermal stability is achieved. This ensures consistently high precision even during long processing times.

  • Ease of maintenance

    The good accessibility to all important components considerably simplifies the maintenance and servicing of an ACURA machining centre. This helps to minimise downtimes and increase the efficiency of the machining centre.

  • High spindle output and speed

    With powerful spindles that reach speeds of up to 18,000 rpm, the ACURA series offers outstanding performance for high-speed machining. This is particularly advantageous for demanding materials and complex geometries.

  • Large tool magazine

    The machines are equipped with large tool magazines that can hold up to 344 tools. This minimises the time required for tool changes and enables more efficient processing of workpieces with many different processing steps.

  • High axle dynamics

    Thanks to the use of highly dynamic drives and ball-type linear drives in all axes, fast and precise axis movement is guaranteed. This leads to shorter cycle times and higher productivity.

  • Solutions from a single source

    Our MARATHON automation solutions impress with their user-friendly operation and seamless integration with the ACURA series of machining centres. Our in-house pallet handling systems are particularly advantageous for the production of repeat parts or small to medium-sized series.

This solution enables IWK to increase its flexibility and further expand production efficiency.

The basis of precision.

Many factors play a role in achieving a certain workpiece accuracy. On the one hand, there are the machines themselves. The type, components and software all have an influence on the machining result. However, there are also many accompanying factors to consider, from the location of the machine to measuring equipment, clamping devices and tools through to the qualifications of the employees.

Accuracy of HEDELIUS machining centres
Sophisticated type.

Designed as universal machining centres for a wide range of applications in machine and tool construction, HEDELIUS places great weight on stability and accuracy during the design phase. The result of this process was the special HEDELIUS type with the constantly cantilevered Y-axis and the resulting high rigidity and precision over the entire travel range of the Y-axis and Z-axis.

In-house production.

Critical assemblies such as travelling columns, beds and rotating/swivelling table units are manufactured and measured in-house at HEDELIUS. As a result, we not only always keep an eye on quality, but also recognise the possibilities and limits of modern chipping in day-to-day use. This process knowledge flows permanently into improving our products and advising our customers.

Guides and straightness.

HEDELIUS uses pre-aligned roller guides from German and Swiss manufacturers. At the end of assembly, the positioning precision, repeat precision, straightness and backlash of the linear axes are finally checked and documented using a laser interferometer. The positioning accuracy of the linear axes in accordance with ISO 230-2 is regularly less than 6 µm.

IT6 circular accuracy.

The Renishaw circularity test has established itself as a test method for the accuracy of machining centres. The measurement provides information on the interaction between two linear axes and the accuracy of a circular movement. The slip-stick-free roller guides in combination with direct path measuring systems and high angular accuracy enable the milling of fits in a quality of IT6, which reduces production times and the number of spindle tools required.

Measuring systems

We offer various optional features for tooling optimisation with regard to the measurement of your cutting tools. Using a tool probe or laser, which is attached to the machine table, you can automatically measure the length and diameter of the tools or check for tool breakage in the NC programme.

Long-term precision.

HEDELIUS only uses direct linear measurement devices for position detection of the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis. This means that the position control loop encompasses the entire feed mechanism. This is referred to as "closed loop" operation. Transmission errors in the mechanics can thus be detected by the linear measurement device on the feed axis and corrected by the control electronics.

Temperature compensation.

HEDELIUS equips its machining centres with spindle coolers to dissipate the heat generated in the milling spindle. The cooling system already achieves increased thermal stability as standard. However, as not all of the heat can be dissipated by the spindle cooling, HEDELIUS optionally installs temperature sensors on the spindle, travelling column and, in some cases, on the rotary axes in order to compensate for structural displacements via the control system.
