Featuring color photos, detailed diagrams and technical specifications, this brochure outlines Heller’s MCH line of HMCs. With a one-piece, cast iron construction, these gantry-type machining centers include Siemens 840D CNCs, swiveling pallet changers, rotary indexing tables, digital feed drives and guideways equipped with low-friction, preloaded roller bearings. The HMC line also offers a number of options for increased flexibility, including chain or rack magazine ATCs, measuring probes, various cooling pumps, automatic robot loading and more.

Composites Machining for the F-35
Lockheed Martin’s precision machining of composite skin sections for the F-35 provides part of the reason why this plane saves money for U.S. taxpayers. That machining makes the plane compelling in ways that have led other countries to take up some of the cost. Here is a look at a high-value, highly engineered machining process for the Joint Strike Fighter aircraft.
