4-axis machining centers H

Producing small batch sizes flexibly and economically

The economic production of small batch sizes calls for a high degree of flexibility, short cycle times and setting times. Wessel saw the required potential in the H 2000 4-axis machining center.

Task

  • flexibility with primarily small batch sizes
  • increasing value creation with fast cycle times and short setting times
  • short tool changeover times
  • machine stability for higher cutting parameters

Project scope & solution

  • machining center H 2000
  • flexible pallet container
  • chain-type magazine for up to 240 tools
  • PCU spindle (10,000 rpm, 38 kW, 242 Nm)

Result

  • small batch sizes are efficiently guided through without a problem
  • 40 percent shorter throughput times
  • reduced setting times
  • approx. 1,000 tool data records can be managed

HELLER solutions at Komax: Customer testimonial

Peter Arnold

Head of Mechanical Manufacturing at Komax

"If you have to deal with 30 pallets containing, at times, up to 50 different clamping points per clamping cube, you need the right tools in the magazine to avoid having to constantly change the tool sets. Our tool count currently stands at 409. Comparable or smaller machines simply do not achieve capacities such as these."

Frank Brunner

Head of Manufacturing and Production Engineering at Bitzer

"For me, it was much more important to have found, in HELLER, a manufacturer whose machines are able to meet our high standards without extensive options."

HELLER solutions at Engel Austria: Customer testimonial

Gerhard Aigner

Head of Production at Engel Austria

"We consider quality to be fundamental. The tolerances for our core components are between two and three hundredths of a millimeter. That's why we made the conscious decision to go for HELLER machines, which are renowned for their stability."

HELLER solutions at Fette Compacting: Customer testimonial

Nicholas Warnken

Nicholas Warnken, Project Manager

"Key contributors to these massive savings are fewer setups thanks to the 5th axis and higher achievable cutting parameters. On the other hand, however, it was the overall package, including the automation system and new tool technologies, that was able to optimize the processes in this way."
