HEDELIUS Maschinenfabrik GmbH and its local sales partner Promas BV organised a customer day for interested parties and customers from the Netherlands and Belgium on 16 January. 80 guests accepted the invitation to Meppen in northern Germany, not far from the Dutch border. "We are delighted about the great interest shown by our neighbours. The Netherlands has always been a special market for us," says HEDELIUS Managing Director Dennis Hempelmann with satisfaction. Visitors to the Customer Day were able to gain an impression of the high quality standards in the family-run company's production during the company tour. In the demonstration centre, ten machining centres were then ready to demonstrate the quality of machining live.
These included the 3-axis milling machines FORTE 65 Single 1320 and FORTE 85 Single 1620 as well as the 5-axis machines TILTENTA 6-2300, TILTENTA 7-2600 and TILTENTA 9-2600 from the swivelling head family. The ACURA 65 rotating/swivelling table machining centre was also closed for a live demonstration. The connected automation was of particular interest to many guests. On the one hand the robot automation Platinum 50 from BMO-Automation, on the other hand the newly developed pallet automation MARATHON P422 from HEDELIUS.
Visitors to the Customer Day were among the first to experience this system live in a demonstration, as the MARATHON will be the first to be launched on the market in the coming weeks. The system comprises 22 pallets with dimensions of 400 x 400 mm, a clamping weight of up to 150 kg, a collision area diameter of 500 mm and a clamping height of 400 mm. Another special feature is the interaction of the MARATHON P422 with the ACURA 65 and a standby magazine. HEDELIUS thus offers a complete turnkey solution.

In modern CNC production, no two jobs are the same: Today prismatic 3-axis machining, tomorrow complex 5-axis components and then the machining of shafts, tubes or mouldings. With the FORTE 65 with rotating/swivelling table, HEDELIUS offers a machining centre that adapts quickly and efficiently to changing requirements for maximum productivity and safety.
The GEWO Feinmechanik GmbH & Co. KG relies on the 3-axis machining centre FORTE 85 Single 1620 from HEDELIUS for the production of high-precision components. The decisive factors for the investment were the high machine stability, the large Y travel path and the compact design of the CNC milling machine. In daily use, the FORTE 85 impresses with its precise machining results, high level of user-friendliness and economical production, even with difficult-to-machine materials. GEWO also reports productivity increases of 15 to 20 per cent and emphasises the partnership-based cooperation with HEDELIUS.
With the TILTENTA MILLTURN, HEDELIUS is opening a milling and turning machining centre on the market for the first time that combines both machining steps in one machine, thus enabling a continuous manufacturing process. Instead of having to reclamp workpieces several times or switch between different machines, the entire machining process takes place in one stable clamping, which simplifies processes and reduces sources of error. Find out how the concept works in detail, what possibilities arise in practice and for which applications the MILLTURN is particularly suitable.
