New Machining Center: Compact, Yet Serves a Large Scale
Starrag rounds up its new compact series with the Heckert H100 machining center, which is suitable for large parts and heavy parts that would otherwise have to be machined on a large machining center.

At Technology Days 2024 at Chemnitz (Saxony, Germany) University of Technology, Starrag presented its new Heckert H100 compact machining center to the public for the first time. With a pallet size of 39 in. (1,000 mm), it will replace the previous Heckert HEC 1000 4-axis center.
With the new Heckert H50 to H100 compact machines, Starrag is continuing the success story of the Heckert HEC series. The new machining centers offer maximum precision, performance and speed in as little space as possible – and, of course, with the long-term quality that is typical of Heckert machines.
This also applies to the Heckert H100, which has dimensions of 350 in. x 181 in. (8,900 mm x 4,600 mm) and enables travel paths of 69 in. (1,750 mm) along the X axis, 51 in. (1,300 mm) along the Y axis and 55 in. (1,400 mm) along the Z axis. As an option, the Y-travel can be extended up to 55 in. (1,400 mm) and the Z-travel can be extended up to 71 in. (1,800 mm). The displacement circle diameter is 79 in. (2,000 mm).
The Heckert H100 is therefore suitable for large parts and, with a loading weight of 8818 lb. (4,000 kg), is also suitable for heavy parts that would otherwise have to be machined on a large machining center. On the other hand, many savings can be made. These savings start right from the initial investment in the machine, and continue with transport costs, the foundation and the required installation area, going all the way through to the machining process.
The new Heckert H100 compact machine is even better than its predecessor, the HEC 1000, in many respects. It is easier to automate, and this is ensured by extended clamping hydraulics and simplified interfaces to pallet storage systems and robot cells. Improved integration into the customer’s infrastructure was also realized – with central connections for technological cold water, cooling lubricant and data exchange. There is also a larger selection of spindles and much more.
The new Heckert H100 compact machining center offers tailor-made solutions for highly productive machining, particularly in the area of commercial vehicles and in high-precision mechanical engineering.
