Robust machine design, in-depth process experience, comprehensive milling expertise – these are the basic ingredients of our F and C series 5-axis machining centres. With obvious benefits to you: 5-axis machining with maximum output and optimum quality, even in continuous operation. In addition, our C series 5-axis milling/turning machining centres allow you to c ombine milling and turning operations on a single machine – for even more flexible complete machining of your workpieces. Key facts _F series: universal 5-axis machining centres with   5th axis provided by the tool, flexible in use...

Machine concept Foundation for maximum productivity Only the perfect combination of rigidity and lightweight construction results in a machine design that ensures optimum surface finish and a long tool life. As with all H ELLER machines, the main components of our F and C eries machining centres have been designed using FEA. s The result is a machine bed optimised for rigidity and a mass-reduced column that ensures reliable productivity and high dynamics combined with perfect precision. Machine with table loading (FT/CT) and tilting head kinematics

Basic structure _high stability and damping in the force flow through   t opology-optimised cast iron structural components _thermo-symmetric design and optimum distribution of   forces _wide range of machining units in a robust design available   _tool changer with two NC axes for fast automatic tool change   _wide range of tool magazines, in chain-type or rack-type   design available _machines with integrated pallet changer (FP/CP) and high   payload for fast automatic pallet change _machine variant with table loading (FT/CT) available for   selected sizes Kinematics _machine bed...

Optimum process stability in 5-axis machining is also a question of having the right spindle. With our F and C series you can choose from a range of swivel head and tilting head designs. Whether it is heavy-duty cutting of cast iron or steel, high-volume machining of light metals or vertical, horizontal and tilted turning with the C series - we have the right solution to suit your requirements.
