For HELLER, this machine represents a natural and consistent product evolution from its modular system. Model CT 6000 is the first size-6000 machine from the mill/turning centre range available in table design.
The turning function is a valuable addition to the proven milling capacity of the classic machining centres. For this purpose, the machine is equipped with a fifth axis provided by the tool combined with a direct driven rotary table.
Vertical and horizontal turning operations of outer and inner contours can be accomplished without any problem with the C axis and optional A and B axis. This highly productive machine provides economically efficient cutting data with workpiece rotations of up to 500rpm for pre-machining and finishing true to the final contour.
For model CT 6000 HELLER has compiled an almost unique performance package in this range. 5-axis machining centre model CT 6000, which HELLER will be presenting to the public for the first time at CIMT 2015 in Beijing, features an HSK100 spindle taper and a Power Cutting Universal spindle with 60kW drive power, a maximum speed of up to 8,000rpm and 1,146Nm torque.
Combined processes have been on HELLER's agenda for quite some time now. That is why technical prerequisites such as the high-speed rotary table, spindle growth compensation and spindle locking ensuring torsional stiffness and high repeatability already existed.
The expansion of the C series with model CT 6000 is a systematic further development tailored to the needs of the power generating industry, plant engineering and construction as well as power train engineering.
