The machine is loaded through an approx. 600 x 840 mm opening in the right-hand side of the machine. This pneumatically activated stainless steel door of the 5-axis machining centre enables automatic loading of pallets without restricting access to the Machine work area.
Linear interlinking - for even more chips.
Whether pallet handling, workpiece handling or a combination of both - the "Twinner" concept with two ACURA 5-axis machining centres in series enables even more productivity in a small space. The ACURA machining centres can currently be linked in series with an INDUMATIK Light 120 and EROWA Leonardo pallet handling system or with BMO Platinum and Titanium robot cells.
Systems for automated loading of two machining centres.
The choice of the optimum automation solution should always be customised to your individual requirements. Depending on the number of pieces, workpiece dimensions and the desired manless running time, we offer you a wide range of solutions for the automated loading of our CNC machining centres. In addition to our own hybrid automation solution, the MARATHON RZ430, you can choose from a wide range of solutions from our renowned partners.

Save advantages, thanks to automated loading.
The linear linking of two machining centres with an automation system offers numerous advantages that are specifically designed to maximise productivity and flexibility with minimum space requirements. High efficiency can be guaranteed even with small batch sizes and short program runtimes. Discover the key benefits of this powerful automation concept below.
CNC users report on their practical experience.
Anyone visiting WuM Werkzeug- und Maschinenbau GmbH in Mühlhausen, Thuringia, will get an impression of the end products that are manufactured using their tools from the entrance lobby. WuM machines high-precision stamping tools for the automotive industry on a TILTENTA 7, an ACURA 85 and a FORTE 11.
The innovative Metallverarbeitung Uwe Ebertz GmbH is based in Sinn-Fleisbach, Hesse. Since its foundation, the family business has undergone a transformation from a sheet metal processor to a comprehensive service provider in metal processing. Modern technologies made in Germany are used, such as the Tiltenta 7-3200 machining centre from HEDELIUS Maschinenfabrik GmbH.
Within just a few years, SD Automotive GmbH has developed into a specialised service provider for the automotive industry. By constantly expanding its machinery, the company has been able to master the high demands placed on milling in particular. The latest technology in the chipping range comes from HEDELIUS in Meppen.
Machining centres for automation.
HEDELIUS machining centres from the EL series enable manufacturer-independent automation of production. Loading takes place via a pneumatically activated loading opening on the side of the machine. This means that the work area remains fully accessible for manual single part production as well as set-up and control work.
The ACURA 65 EL enables manufacturer-independent automation of production using a pallet handling system or a robot from the left-hand side of the machine. This enables unmanned automated production. The door of the 5-axis machining centre remains fully accessible for the manual production of single parts.
The advantage of the ACURA EL concept is that loading from the side allows full access to the work area 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 possible without restrictions. Another advantage of the 5-axis machining centre (depending on the selected automation) is the visibility of the work area and thus optimised process control during set-up on the automation.
