Handtmann to demonstrate optimised machining centre at EMO

At EMO in Hannover, Handtmann will present a new combination which will ensure a significant increase of dynamics and cutting performance.

For the first time, the revised version of the 5-axis horizontal machining centre HBZ CompactCell 200/100 with pallet automation will be equipped with the new Handtmann fork head.

Very high dampening performance and rigidity, the enhanced and bearing independent hydraulic clamping as well as highly dynamic direct drives provide for higher process reliability, speed and accelerations in dynamic 5-axis HSC machining. This advantage especially comes into effect when combining long tools with high spindle speed and cutting speed.

With the objective of realising highest constant cutting volume using the smallest possible space, Handtmann managed to develop a milling head especially designed for high speed cutting in order to increase the machines’ performance additionally.

The HBZ CompactCell is now available with an extended tool magazine, a larger work zone as well as improved dampening features, improved ergonomics and temperature compensation together with increased accuracy.

With a whole series of fork heads, Handtmann now offers the key component milling head for their machines from one source. Various head and spindle combinations together with the retrofitting capability provide for customised configurations offered by Handtmann.

See the HBZ CompactCell in combination with the new, Handtmann-designed fork head live at EMO while machining an aerospace structural part in aluminium.
