HEC 500 XXL
 |
|
The highly dynamic HEC 500 D XXL horizontal machining center meets all the requirements for further reducing production costs, increasing machining quality and providing environmentally-friendly production to an outstanding degree. The key feature is a reduction in non-productive idle times and higher output of components per time unit.
The high level of volume that can be loaded from the pallets (max. 800 kg) and the extremely large working area set new standards for use. Advanced dynamics in traverse speeds, in work speeds and in changing tools and components create supreme conditions for reducing manufacturing costs.

Customer benefits
|
|
- Higher levels of productivity as a result of twice the number of components in the pallets.
- Reduction in the main production and non-productive times, the costs for spares and wear and tear and an increase in process reliability because the number of tools and pallets being changed is reduced.
- Savings in expenditure on measuring parts which is huge in terms of personnel and costs
- Advanced dynamics for the linear movement axes, the NC rotary table and the extremely fast tool and component change facilities all reduce the idle times and therefore costs per unit.
- Expansion of the field of applications as a result of enlarging the working area with increased setting ranges and ideal stroke positions.
- Improvements in dry machining as a result of the immediate and direct removal of metal waste without any waste clusters forming.
- Reduction in servicing costs by using maintenance-free solid metal covers for guideways, drive and measuring systems.

Applications
|
|
- The automobile industry and components suppliers, general mechanical engineering, pump and gearbox manufacturing.
- Complex machining of components made of light metals, cast iron and steel and also materials that are hard to machine.
- Pallet loads of 800 kg, component clearance of 900 mm and outer measurement diameter of 1000 mm are key criteria for the size and weight of the components being machined.
- Can be used as stand-alone machine, expanded with a round pallet magazine or a linear pallet magazine and can be integrated in flexible manufacturing systems.

Machine Concept
|
|
- Compact design with a thermo-symmetric arrangement for the main components
- Ideal design for the working area with a safe and fast removal of metal waste as the key precondition for dry machining
- Guideways, recirculating ball spindles and pathway measuring systems far beyond any influence from metal waste or coolant and protected by maintenance-free solid metal covers
- Directly driven high performance motor spindle for high cutting speeds with a low level of cutting force
- Advanced dynamics and process reliability for the feed motion as a result of digital AC drive systems (rapid traverse of up to 100 m/min and acceleration of up to 10 m/s²).
- Comfortable component handling with an NC rotary table for complete and multi-side machining, component set-up work in the clamping area during the main operating times and an automatic pallet change with hydraulic rotating/piston changer.
- Component handling with a chain or series chain magazine with up to 240 storage slots and dynamic tool changes in chip-to-chip-times of 2.2 to 2.5 s.
