A little unit of normality.
300 visitors at the HEDELIUS in-house exhibition 2020.
Seeing machines under chip removal, talking shop, networking - for three days, the machining centres were once again buzzing in the large demonstration centre at HEDELIUS and many of the 300 or so visitors clearly enjoyed feeling the trade fair atmosphere again after the long break due to coronavirus. "It almost felt like normality," summarised Managing Director Dennis Hempelmann. "And that's a good feeling. I would like to thank all our guests and co-exhibitors for being there."
The premiere of the in-house, highly productive MARATHON P406 automation solution for production-accompanying fixture automation in single parts or small series production was very popular. In combination with the ACURA 65 5-axis machining centre and the standby magazine as a large tool store, tooling times can be drastically reduced. In addition, the "little brother" of the MARATHON P422 shines with perfect accessibility. The six pallet locations, which are designed for a clamping weight of 250 kg each, can be rotated, which is unique in this class. HEDELIUS Maschinenfabrik is thus consistently pursuing its strategy of offering integrated in-house automation solutions.
The TWINNER concept - a linear interlinking of an ACURA 50 and an ACURA 65 with an INDUMATIK Light 120 - and automation solutions with a robot cell from BMO or a pallet magazine from EROWA also attracted a great deal of interest.
HEDELIUS sales engineer Holger Lienau showed very clearly in his presentation "Precious metal scaffolding and set-up phobia - treatment methods and successes" that automation that saves non-productive time and ensures quality is a key to higher productivity and greater economic success.
Despite the great interest in automation, visitors also focused on the wide range of possibilities offered by the TILTENTA swivelling head series machining centres and the 3-axis machines from the FORTE series. HEDELIUS had installed a total of 15 machining centres for the in-house exhibition, some with automation solutions. The offer for visitors was rounded off by an accompanying trade exhibition with well-known partner companies and guided tours of the ultra-modern HEDELIUS production facilities.

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?
