With the brand-new virtual event format V-CON 2020 in November, HELLER launched its new generation of the 5-axis machining centre HF. HELLER first presented the 5-axis machining centres from the HF series with the fifth axis provided by the workpiece in 2016.
Providing powerful dynamics and significantly reduced idle times and the unique selling proposition of AB kinematics in combination with the counter bearing, the series has been proven in practice for years now. HELLER sees the application of the series’ first generation – usually ordered with pallet changer – primarily for medium batch sizes in series production and for productive machining. For the second generation, HELLER has now expanded the machines’ range of applications. The goal is to provide greater universality, including single-part manufacturing, combined with the HELLER genes of productivity, precision and reliability. Among the most significant changes on the second generation are the new machining units providing even higher performance and the optional use of a second drive in the Z-axis.
