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 offer robust designs with high-torque spindle technology, optimized for reduced clamping positions and single set-up machining, suitable for various parts and materials. Automation is facilitated through workpiece or pallet automation options.
Machine Concept
The machine design emphasizes a balance between rigidity and lightweight construction, ensuring optimal surface finish and tool life. Key features include a topology-optimized cast iron structure, thermo-symmetric design, and a variety of machining units. The machines support both pallet changer and table loading configurations, with integrated automation solutions for enhanced productivity.
Machining Units
Innovative spindle technology is central to the F and C series, offering swivel head and tilting head designs for diverse machining needs. The F series uses HSK-A 100 tool shanks, while the C series employs HSK-T 100 for precision in turning operations. The zero spindle system allows easy replacement and short repair times, contributing to low total cost of ownership.
Tool Management
The series supports flexible tooling with chain-type and rack-type magazines, accommodating up to 425 tools. Features include rapid tool change, ergonomic loading stations, and integrated tool provisioning for minimal downtime. The tool management system ensures fast, precise, and flexible operations.
Workpiece Management
The F/C series can be configured for workshop or production environments, with options for pallet changers or direct table loading. The machines support large work areas and high clamping loads, with features like automatic pallet changers and hydraulic clamping for secure operations. Rotary tables provide high stability and dynamics, essential for complex machining tasks.
Supply and Disposal
Cooling lubricant supply systems are available with options for high-pressure internal coolant supply and external tool cooling. These systems ensure optimal work area flushing and workpiece cooling, enhancing machining efficiency and precision.
