  Welcome to Heller US BACKSTAGE
  We’re here to help you.

Increasingly, we see that consumers of machine tools and automation are looking for greater support from machine tool and manufacturing system providers.

Stability.

We have assured our financial independence and stability, invested over $30 million in research and development, firmly established a global presence, demonstrated problem-solving capability and world-class process expertise, set up local production and service, retained qualified personnel, and we have shown a proven ability to meet the customer’s total cost of ownership requirements.

Project management expertise.

Machines and systems for production are complex.

Managing the design, engineering, machine building, integration and installation of machines and complex system components is a key competency of Heller as it operates globally in Europe, Asia, and South America as well as North America.

We are fully experienced at taking on full turnkey projects for the creation of sophisticated machining systems from raw part machining through preassembly.

Retooling, re-engineering.

We also help our customers retool existing capital equipment—regardless of who built it originally. It’s a cost-effective way to put Heller experience to work, conserving capital nd reducing the cost of production.

In future issues of BACKSTAGE, we will bring you ideas and information that can help you navigate the challenges of designing and operating high-quality, reliable, yet flexible production capabilities.

Sincerely,

Vince Trampus
Vice President – Sales, Heller US

Featured Product:
the new F Series 5-axis Machining Centers
Introducing the most powerful 5-axis machining centers available anywhere.

Ideal for hogging even heat resistant alloy steel, the four new F Series machines deliver productivity as well as jig-bore accuracy and flexibility. No other range of 5-axis Machining Centers can do that.

Some of the details that make the F Series the optimum choice for workpieces up to 3000:
  • Process stability built-in. Dynamically optimized machine structure, with vibration-dampening composite bed
  • Powerful 10,000 rpm universal spindle or 16,000 rpm tilting head
  • Wide open accessibility with pallet changer or direct loading
  • 40 taper and HSK 63 spindle taper
The tilting spindle option is well-suited to 5-axis contouring for aerospace components.

For more on this exciting new offering, go to www.heller.biz or contact Heller US at (248) 288-5000.

Find out how you can reduce the cost of production, especially for aerospace work.

News.
  • Heller completed a manufacturing system for a leading parts producer that includes 20 HMC’s plus two retooled Heller Flexible System Transfers (FST’s) to produce the aluminum V-6 engine blocks. The manufacturer conserved capital cost while getting a high-capability Heller system.
  • Heller US has taken orders from three major producers of heavy-duty engines, including Detroit Diesel, Caterpillar, and PACCAR, taking the lead in designing and producing these systems worldwide. Heller simultaneous engineering was key to developing these systems for cost-effective production. Heller is rated in Europe as the #1 heavy-duty powertrain component machining system by Deutsche Bank.
  • Heller also received an order recently to retool a competitor’s machining system from a domestic US automotive OEM. The revamped and improved system will machine a new transmission component.
