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
HELLER machines, the main components of our F and
C series machining centres have been designed using FEA.
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.
Kinematics
_machine bed supporting the X and Z axes in cross bed design
_machine column moves in X-direction and supports the
machining unit
_machining unit moves in Y-direction, compact and robustly
integrated into the machine column
_rotary table moves in Z-direction and performs the feed
motion
_NC rotary table (rotary axis B) rotates the workpiece
continuously (360,000 x 0.001°)
_swivel head (C) or tilting head (A) – the 5th axis is provided by
the tool (max. C 345,000 x 0.001°/ A 175,000 x 0.001°)
(swivel range with optional swivel range expansion)
Drive concept
_linear axes with roller guides driven by ball screws for high
feed forces
_direct absolute measurement systems (glass scales in linear
axes) for highest precision and low positional tolerance
_rotary tables with large YRT bearing and automatic clamping
for maximum stability and high tilting moments
_F series: NC rotary table with gear drive and clamping for
high circular milling torque and damping
(FP/FT 16000 with direct drive)
_C series: DDT (Direct Drive Turning) rotary table for high
speeds and dynamics
Machine with pallet changer (FP/CP)
and swivel head kinematics

Innovative
spindle technology
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.

Tool management
Fast, precise,
flexible
Particularly in 5-axis and mill-turn machining, you work with
a wide variety of tools and large tool geometries on a daily
basis. No problem for our F and C series machining centres:
they allow you to continue to use your tooling flexibly, while
ensuring short tool loading times, short downtimes and short
non-productive times.
Tool management 9
Workpiece management
Workshop or
production machine
It goes without saying that you can configure the F and
C series machining centres to suit your specific
requirements: as a workshop machine with a large work
area – ideal for single part production – or as a production
machine with pallet changer and the appropriate
automation solution for series production.
Workpiece management 11
Supply and disposal
Perfect solutions
to suit your requirements
Fast and effective chip removal is a top priority with our
machining centres. The design of the work area prevents
the accumulation of chips and ensures that they are
quickly removed from the machine. You can select the
most suitable conveyor design and coolant unit for your
individual work processes. Precision and process are
assured!
