The HF 5500, a new, horizontal-spindle machining centre for 5-sided and simultaneous 5-axis machining, will be launched by Heller at EMO 2017 alongside the smaller HF 3500, which was introduced last year. With a 900x950x900mm work envelope and a maximum pallet load of 750kg, the larger machine offers approximately 200mm extra travel in X, Y and Z plus 200kg additional load capacity.
