Performance milling with 25% more machine stability
The investment in the HELLER horizontal machining center model MCH 460 was aimed at achieving an increase in productivity and availability. The high-performance milling process involves cutting volumes between 800 and 900cm3. Ever since, the stability and mechanical resilience of the HELLER machine have provided the necessary process reliability and an extended tool life.
Task
- productivity boost with better availability
- extremely high cutting parameters
- the size of the mould bases places special demands on the work area space
- the weight of the mould bases places special demands on the maximum setup mass of the pallet
- extremely high machine reliability and load-bearing capacity
Project scope & solution
- HELLER MCH 460 4-axis machining center
- optimum design of tool and workpiece clamping for chip removal rate of between 800 and 900 cm³
- Siemens 840D solution line controller
Result
- MCH 460 delivers absolute reliability
- considerable machine reserves in terms of machining force
- substantially longer tool life thanks to the machine's stability
- incredible time and cost benefits with reliable high-performance milling process

"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."

"HELLER has exceeded our expectations. Everything went well, the machines run extremely reliably and our throughput times have also measurably reduced."

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!"

"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."
