HELLER solutions at RJ
4 and 5 axis machining centers for maximum flexibility
Since the start date of its activity in 1979, the company RJ S.r.l. is mainly engaged in precision mechanical machining applied to industrial vehicles. The progressive growth over the years has led RJ to strategically place itself in a brand new production facility located in San Giorgio Canavese (Turin, Italy), with an area of 110,000 square meters. The RJ group in addition to the headquarter in San Giorgio Canavese has two production plants in Brazil (Joinville) and in the USA (Sterling Heights).
Task
- production of different types of pieces with high volumes
- latest generation machining center for high performance
- high flexibility due to short setting times are very important
- process reliability for high production

"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."

Managing Director at Franz Haas Waffelmaschinen
"HELLER has exceeded our expectations. Everything went well, the machines run extremely reliably and our throughput times have also measurably reduced."
Thomas Kaysser
Managing Director at H.P. Kaysser
"Our experience with HELLER, including Service, has been nothing but positive. We speak the same language, so there was simply no reason to change supplier. The entire team has now identified with the HELLER machining centers – because they deliver what HELLER promises!"

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."
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."

"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."
