Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Hedelius ACURA 65 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The Hedelius ACURA 65 is the middle size of the ACURA 5-axis range, a rotating/swivelling table machine with 700 mm (27.6 in) of X, 600 mm (23.6 in) of Z and a Y travel of 650 / 465 mm (horizontal / vertical). Its Ø 650 x 540 mm table takes 500 kg (1,102 lb) and the interference circle is Ø 700 mm.
What sets it apart from the ACURA 50 is less the extra travel than the spindle list. Five spindles are in the data sheet, and the fifth is an HSK A63 unit with 217 Nm and 50 kW at 15,000 rpm, for which Hedelius quotes 600 cm3/min of milling and a Ø 50 mm drill in E335/St60-2. The others are SK40 / BT40 at 14,000 rpm with 117 Nm and 22 kW or 183 Nm and 29 kW, HSK A63 at 18,000 rpm with 136 Nm and 35 kW, and HSK A63 at 14,000 rpm with 22 kW. A 24,000 rpm, 30 kW spindle is shown on the product page.
The table drive comes in two speeds, 0 – 20 or 0 – 50 min-1. Swivel torque is 2,040 Nm, the swivel clamp holds 4,000 Nm, and a swivel takes 1.2 s. Feed force is 11,000 N at most. Five 14 mm T-slots at 100 mm spacing take conventional fixtures.
Hedelius stresses the low overall depth and height of this model. The contact surface is moved to the front so the operator reaches the table, and the 65-place magazine, or 90 places with the MAGNUM extension, is loaded from the front as well. Tools may be 330 mm long. The machine weighs 7,500 kg (16,534 lb), and 5-axis simultaneous milling is an option.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- HSK A63 spindle with 217 Nm and 50 kW at 15,000 rpm in the data sheet, rated for 600 cm3/min in E335/St60-2
- Ø 650 x 540 mm table for 500 kg (1,102 lb), held in bearings on both sides
- 65- or 90-position tool magazine that is operated from the front
- Swivel torque of 2,040 Nm and a 4,000 Nm swivel clamp
- Contact surface moved to the front for better access to the table
Limitations
- 5-axis simultaneous milling is listed as optional
- The table rotation is 0 – 20 or 0 – 50 min-1, so it positions and contours but does not turn
- Tool weight is limited to 5 kg and tool diameter to 75 mm with every place occupied
- At 7,500 kg (16,534 lb) and up to 2,985 mm transport width it needs a proper access route
