ACURA 50 WITH 80 tool slots.
Magazine extension of the standard tool magazine.
The trend towards more tools to reduce tooling times has already been taken into account with the introduction of the ACURA 50. The 5-axis high-performance machining centre already has a 55-tool magazine as standard. However, interested parties quickly asked for a magazine extension, especially with a view to automation. HEDELIUS has now taken this frequently expressed wish as an opportunity to offer an optional extension of the magazine to 80 tools. For this purpose, the chain of the standard magazine was simply and cost-effectively extended to 80 places. Compared to the standard 55-place magazine, the CNC machine only requires approx. 950 mm more space in depth.

In manufacturing companies that mainly produce small batch sizes, every minute of spindle time counts - or so the theory goes. In practice, however, the proportion of productive spindle time compared to working time is often less than 40 per cent. The search for tools, clamping devices and information, as well as set-up, tie up valuable resources and leave many operating companies far behind their potential. There are many ways to sustainably close flexibility - and thus performance - in production. But every manufacturing company is different. The trick is therefore to find your very own recipe for success.
Advancing automation has long since arrived in mechanical engineering and contract manufacturing - but many companies still face challenges, especially when it comes to small batch sizes. While large-scale production is already largely automated today, flexibility in smaller quantities, which are often the order of the day in contract manufacturing, poses a particular challenge. How can automation be made to pay off here too without presenting machine operators with insurmountable hurdles?
