How much does the Heckert HEC630 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a horizontal machining centers (hmc) in this class — not a quote from Heckert. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Heckert HEC630 is a horizontal machining centre on a 630 x 630 mm pallet, with listed travels of 1,000 mm (39.4 in) in X and 900 mm (35.4 in) in both Y and Z. What stands out in the listed figures is the spindle: an HSK-A63 interface running to 12,000 RPM, or 16,000 RPM as an option, with 50 kW (67.0 hp) and 360 Nm. This model is not part of Heckert's current lineup, so confirm each figure against the documentation of the machine itself.
An HSK-A63 spindle on a pallet this size sets the character of the machine. The interface and the 12,000 RPM top speed favour small and medium cutters at high surface speed, the kind of work found in aluminium housings and in finishing passes on steel. 360 Nm is enough for moderate face milling and drilling, but it is not a heavy-boring figure, and the holder size limits how large a tool can sensibly be driven. Someone planning to rough cast iron with big cutters should weigh that first.
The table load is 1,200 kg (2,646 lb). On a 630 x 630 mm pallet that leaves room for a loaded tombstone, so the limit on a job is more likely to be the spindle than the weight on the table. Rapid traverse of 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) fits the same picture of short, fast moves between many features.
The magazine holds 80 tools and is expandable to 300. Positioning accuracy is given as better than 0.006 mm (6 µm). Two controls appear in the control row, Siemens Sinumerik 840D sl and Fanuc, so check which one a given machine carries. Machine weight is 25,000 kg (55,116 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 12,000 RPM HSK-A63 spindle, with a 16,000 RPM version as an option
- 1,200 kg (2,646 lb) table load on a 630 x 630 mm pallet
- 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) rapid traverse across 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of X and 900 mm (35.4 in) of Y and Z
- Magazine for 80 tools that can be expanded to 300
Limitations
- Spindle torque is 360 Nm, which limits heavy roughing and large-diameter boring
- 16,000 RPM belongs to an optional spindle; the standard one stops at 12,000 RPM
- The control row names both Siemens Sinumerik 840D sl and Fanuc, so the control has to be confirmed machine by machine
- A positioning accuracy figure is given (better than 0.006 mm) but no repeatability figure

Frequently Asked Questions
01
An HSK-A63 spindle with 50 kW (67.0 hp) and 360 Nm, running to 12,000 RPM. A 16,000 RPM spindle appears as an option. The torque figure makes this a machine for fast cutting with moderate tool sizes more than for heavy roughing.
02
The pallet is 630 x 630 mm. X travel is 1,000 mm (39.4 in), and Y and Z are both 900 mm (35.4 in). The axes move at a rapid traverse of 60 m/min (2,362 ipm).
03
The control row reads Siemens Sinumerik 840D sl / Fanuc, so either may be fitted. Programs, post-processors and operator training differ between the two, which makes the control one of the first things to confirm on a specific machine.
04
Machine weight is 25,000 kg (55,116 lb). The table load capacity is 1,200 kg (2,646 lb), which has to include the fixture or tombstone as well as the parts mounted on it.
