Heller vs Heller · Horizontal Machining Centers
Summary
The Heller H 2000 and the Heller H 5000 are two sizes of Heller horizontal machining center with the same control options, Siemens SINUMERIK ONE or Fanuc 31iB-Plus. The Heller H 5000 is the larger machine: 800 mm of travel in X, Y and Z against 630 mm, a 630 x 630 mm pallet against 500 x 500 mm, and an HSK-A 100 spindle taper against HSK-A 63.
The Heller H 5000 carries 1,400 kg, about 2.5 times the Heller H 2000's 550 kg standard rating; the smaller machine's 650 kg and 800 kg ratings are extra-cost options, as is its 400 x 500 mm pallet. Tool storage follows the taper: up to 240 places in chain-type magazines or 324/498 in rack-type magazines on the Heller H 2000, against up to 150 chain or up to 425 rack places on the Heller H 5000.

Verdict
Pick by part weight and tool size. The Heller H 5000 is the choice for steel and cast iron parts that need HSK-A 100 tooling, 800 mm of travel and up to 1,400 kg on a 630 x 630 mm pallet. The Heller H 2000 suits lighter work on a 500 x 500 mm pallet within 550 kg, or 800 kg with the option, and jobs that need many HSK-A 63 tools on hand, with up to 240 chain or 498 rack places.
