Heller Machining Centre Has Cast-Iron Construction
The Ideal Boiler Company has purchased an MC 25 pallet-pool Machining Centre from Heller Machine Tools . The machine has an inherently rigid cast-iron construction, providing the user with high power and lasting precision. The machine's robust T-shaped bed has integrated X and Z feed drives, while the axis configuration allows a constant work-area volume throughout the Z-axis positioning range. Manufactured from high-quality SG cast iron, the MC 25's thermo-symmetrically designed gantry column is claimed to be of optimum design in terms of weight, providing superior machine dynamics. The MC 25 has X-, Y- and Z-axis guideways designed and equipped with pre-loaded rolling elements, providing low friction and rigidity while removing system backlash. The machine's feed drives and path-measurement system features direct drives, designed to provide the highest levels of dynamics, plus thermo-symmetrically mounted absolute measuring scales for direct path measurements.
