    TILTENTA

    Versatile machining centres with swivelling spindle and NC rotary table.

TILTENTA series: all-rounder for chipping.

The high-performance machining centres in the TILTENTA series release many machining tasks in mechanical engineering, tool and mould making, shaft and roller machining and the aerospace industry. On the one hand, the large work area with the infinitely variable swivelling main spindle allows vertical machining of long workpieces up to 6000 kg. On the other hand, precise 5-sided machining of parts weighing up to 1800 kg in oscillation mode is also possible thanks to the integrated NC rotary table and a work area partition. The machining centres impress with vertical stainless steel covers for optimum chip fall and a fully encapsulated work area as standard.

Automation with TILTENTA
  • Infinitely variable swivelling main spindle

    The main spindles of the TILTENTA series can be continuously swivelled. This means that long and heavy workpieces can be machined just as perfectly as five-axis cubic workpieces.

  • 5-axis machining in oscillation mode

    The installation of a work area partition creates a 3-axis and a 5-axis work area for oscillation mode. The TILTENTA also allows you to produce series economically thanks to clamping parallel to machining time.

  • Heavy-duty NC rotary table

    The TILTENTA machining centres impress with their very compact and stable design. Equipped with an integrated NC rotary table, they enable 5-axis machining of workpieces weighing up to 2,200 kg.

  • Front side processing

    Powerful front side processing of long workpieces thanks to the heavy-duty machine table and infinitely variable swivelling milling spindle.

  • Extra large work area

    Whether beams, shafts, profiles or welded constructions - the TILTENTA series is ideal for single parts and small series production of long and bulky workpieces. The range of applications can also be extended to 5-axis machining with an integrated NC rotary table.

  • Long tools or large tool diameters

    Do you need to use long tools or large diameters such as deep hole drills, disc cutters or spindle tools? Our pick-up magazines are mounted on the side of the machine table and offer space for tool diameters of up to 210 mm and tool lengths of up to 600 mm.

  • Oscillation mode with two integrated rotary tables

    On request, some models in the TILTENTA series can be equipped with two integrated NC rotary tables for efficient 5-axis oscillating machining.

  • High weights

    With large collision area diameters of up to 1450 mm and heavy-duty rotary tables weighing up to 2200 kg, the TILTENTA machining centre is ideally equipped for 5-axis machining of large, heavy workpieces.

  • Shaft and tube machining

    NC-controlled top rotary tables extend the range of applications to include shaft and tube machining.

  • Swing bridges

    NC-controlled swivel bridges enable multi-sided machining or multiple clamping and rationalise series production. Multiple clamping drastically reduces the non-productive times of the machine, as the chip-to-chip time, for example, is divided between the individual clamping nests.

  • Zero point clamping technology

    HEDELIUS machining centres can be equipped with zero-point clamping systems from GARANT ZeroClamp or SCHUNK NSE. They achieve a significant reduction in non-productive times, as time-consuming cleaning, measuring and aligning of their clamping devices is radically simplified.

In our reference reports, you can find out how companies from a wide range of industries have been able to increase their productivity, minimise downtimes and ensure long-term success with solutions from HEDELIUS. Be inspired by the success stories of our customers and discover how your operation can benefit from our advanced CNC technology.

BL Lasertechnik GmbH turned a disaster into a success story. Despite the devastating fire that destroyed its production halls, the company opted for a quick restart. Thanks to the support of partners such as HEDELIUS, production was resumed and even expanded in a very short space of time.

The powerhouse for heavy-duty machining - a TILTENTA 10-3600 from HEDELIUS Maschinenfabrik in Meppen - has been in the production hall just outside the gates of Eindhoven for a year now. The long-established Dutch company De Rooy machines very large, often complex workpieces from a wide variety of materials.

"In 2012, we were faced with the challenge of having to modernise our entire CNC chipping process," says Tim Sprenger, Production Manager at BAADER, looking back. "We wanted a supplier who was just as interested as we were in a partnership-based collaboration and who would approach the issue with us on an equal footing. We found what we were looking for with HEDELIUS."

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.
