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

  1. Compact floor space
  2. It’s able to do a variety of jobs, it owns features of vertical machining centers, but also can do parts of double column machines due to long X stroke and long throat depth. A high cost-performance ratio.
  3. It’s suitable for long parts with decent cutting.
    The extended X-axis stroke facilitates high production capacity. For instance, operators can consolidate multiple machining processes on a single moving column machine, resulting in time savings for loading and unloading operations.
    The HEAKE moving column machining center can maximize the factory’s utilization and production lines’ capacity and diversity.
  4. The saddle / worktable is in one-piece for high rigidity and high stability.
  5. Adopt the German high precision gear rack with axial linear scales to replace ball screws to strengthen accuracy of axial movement, and also control thermal expansion efficiently.
  6. The long throat depth provides more workspace for larger workpieces, and HEAKE enhances the column's structural rigidity and thickness in the Y-axis by employing a configuration of four slider blocks on a single guide way (three in the front and one in the rear). This arrangement ensures superior rigidity and effectively counteracts the cutting forces (pull-down force) generated during machining operation.
  7. Ample air storage serves as the air counterbalance for both the machine and spindle clamping/unclamping. This design enhances high-speed cutting feeds and helps prevent tools from becoming lodged in the spindle.
  8. Opt for grease for axial maintenance rather than lubrication oil; it possesses higher viscosity, reducing friction as the column moves along the guideways.
    And grease features are environmentally friendly and do not damage the surface of workpiece.
