The unique HEDELIUS concept with two in-line 5-axis machining centres from the ACURA 50 and ACURA 65 series, which are connected via an automation system, is becoming increasingly popular. Having already sold several systems, we are now pleased to be able to supply the first solution together with EROWA. In this case, the interlinking is carried out by an EROWA Leonardo pallet handling system with 24 pallets of 320 x 320 mm each.

The linking of an ACURA 50 EL and an ACURA 65 EL via the Indumatik 120 pallet handling system is now ready for demonstration. The Indumatik 120 loads the 5-axis CNC machining centres with 400 x 400 and 200 x 200 mm pallets.

The time has finally come: We are proud to present our TILTENTA 11 5-axis swivelling spindle machining centre with a Y travel path of 1,100 mm. We currently offer the TILTENTA 11 with X travel paths of 2,600 and 3,600 mm. Arrange your demonstration appointment in Meppen now!

The trend towards more tools to reduce tooling times has already been taken into account with the introduction of the ACURA 50. The optional expansion of the 55-place tool magazine of the ACURA 50 5-axis machining centre to 80 places offers an additional reduction in set-up costs.

The demand for automation solutions continues to grow. Numerous machining centres in the ACURA series have already been equipped with pallet handling systems or robots in recent years. But the demand for automation solutions for our TILTENTA machining centres is also increasing.

As part of the market launch of the compact 5-axis machining centre ACURA 50, HEDELIUS is also launching the ACURA 50 EL, the automatable version of the high-performance machine for small workpieces. The North German family-owned company has focussed on an important detail that can significantly increase production efficiency.

With the ACURA 65 and ACURA 85, HEDELIUS has already set standards in the range of 5-axis machining centres with rotating/swivelling table. Now comes the ACURA 50, a new model that impresses with a compactness that is unrivalled with its amazingly large travel paths.

If very long tools such as deep hole drills or tools with a large diameter such as disc cutters or spindle tools are required in a HEDELIUS machining centre, the pick-up magazine is the solution.

Whirling milling (or trochoidal milling) stands for highly dynamic milling with a high chip volume. Until now, this function was only optimal for slotting. HEIDENHAIN is changing this with a new optional feature for the TNC 640: Optimised Contour Milling (OCM) makes the idea of trochoidal milling available for a much wider range of applications. In addition to roughing open and closed pockets and islands of any shape, OCM also offers cycles for finishing bottoms and side walls.
