TRAVELING COLUMN VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER / The Best Choice in Large Parts Machining

Designed for machining large or long workpieces, the Heake traveling column machining center features high efficiency and high rigidity. The table is fixed, while the machine body is designed with a traveling column, so that the workpiece weight does not affect machining efficiency and accuracy. The multi-section table makes the machine suitable for long workpiece machining, high volume machining for short workpieces, and multiple-process machining.

（X-axis travel 4150 mm)

HK-576L

VERSATILE MACHINING APPLICATIONS


This machine is designed specifically for machining long workpieces. In addition, it is also ideal for other types of machining such as multi-section machining and 4th/5th axis machining.

HK-876L




Designed for machining large or long workpieces, the Heake traveling column machining center features high efficiency and high rigidity.

Specification Catalog

TRAVELING COLUMN

The column moves in the direction of the X-axis and the table is fixed. This means that the workpiece weight does not affect the axial transmission system and dynamic machining accuracy, thus higher machining efficiency can be achieved.
One-Piece Fabricated Structural Parts
  • The base and table support are one-piece fabricated, assisting to upgrade the structural rigidity and stability of the machine.
  • This structure design provides a solid support for heavy workpieces.
 A  Rack Transmission on X-Axis

X-Axis power is transmitting through the German racks, which feature outstanding transmission efficiency of axis feed. Additionally, X axis is equipped with linear scales (standard accesssories), which ensures positioning and repeatability accuracy is not affected by thermal expansion.

 B  Roller Type Linear Ways on Three Axes
  • Three axes are mounted with SP class roller type linear guideways, featuring high load resistance, high rigidity, low friction coefficient, and outstanding dampening capability.
  • Each linear guideway is equipped with extended extra heavy-duty blocks for upgrading loading capacity and dynamic stability.
  • Three axes are direct-drive to eliminate backlash, vibration, and noise, while providing great power output.
  • Adopts class C3 ballscrews.
Extra Large Travel of Y-Axis
  • The specially designed Y-axis travel can reach up to 700mm, providing an increased machining range.
  • When comparing this machine with a double column milling machine under the same machining conditions, it has a smaller footprint and high accuracy.
  • In order to avoid a pull-down force caused by the throat depth when the spindle is cutting, Heake has reinforced the thickness and structure of the column. In addition, each linear way on Y-axis is mounted with four blocks (total of 8 blocks). The blocks are deployed as three pieces at the front and one piece at the rear to enhance rigidity.

Featuring outstanding rigidity, humanized operation modes and maximum stability, the machine can also help to increase operator's efficiency.
