5-axis machining centres F/C

Product catalog summary
F/C Series Overview
The F/C series by HELLER includes universal 5-axis machining centers designed for both milling and turning operations. The F series focuses on 5-sided and simultaneous 5-axis machining, while the C series combines milling and turning with a Direct Drive Turning (DDT) rotary table. Both series are robust, featuring high-torque spindle technology optimized for reduced clamping positions and single set-up machining, suitable for various parts and materials.
Machine Concept
The design emphasizes a balance between rigidity and lightweight construction, using FEA for optimized components. The machines feature a cross bed design supporting X and Z axes, with a machine column moving in the X-direction. The rotary table moves in the Z-direction, providing continuous rotation. The drive concept includes linear axes with roller guides and direct measurement systems for precision.
Machining Units
Innovative spindle technology is crucial for process stability. The F and C series offer swivel and tilting head designs, with options for heavy-duty cutting or high-volume machining. The HELLER zero spindle system allows easy replacement without fine adjustment, reducing repair times and costs.
Tool Management
The series supports a variety of tools with chain-type and rack-type magazines, offering up to 425 positions. The tool changers are designed for rapid changes, minimizing downtime. The system ensures secure tool holding and contamination protection.
Workpiece Management
The machines can be configured for workshop or production environments, with options for pallet changers or direct table loading. The rotary tables are designed for high stability and dynamics, with automatic clamping and imbalance detection features.
Supply and Disposal
Cooling systems include options for high-pressure internal coolant supply and external tool cooling. The work area is equipped with adjustable nozzles for optimal flushing and cooling.
Coolant and Chip Disposal
Efficient coolant temperature control and chip disposal are highlighted, with features like automatic filling of the coolant unit, oil skimmers for separating foreign oil, and various chip disposal methods using spiral and cross-conveyors. Options for chip conveyors include scraper belts or hinged conveyors, depending on the application.
Media Supply
Designed for easy maintenance and accessibility, with integrated compressed air and water guns, central oil-air lubrication, and media interfaces for hydraulic workpiece clamping.
Control Technology
Utilizes Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl control with HELLER Operation Interface, offering intuitive operation, easy programming, and cycle support. It includes digital drive technology and modern system architecture tailored for HELLER machining centers.
Operation and Maintenance
Designed for optimal access to all work areas, with ergonomically arranged operating elements and control screens. Features include swiveling main operating units, large safety windows, and smooth-running doors for easy access during maintenance.
