How much does the Heller H 5000 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a horizontal machining centers (hmc) in this class — not a quote from Heller. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Heller H 5000 is a horizontal machining center built around an HSK-A 100 spindle interface, with 800 mm of travel in X, Y and Z, a 630 x 630 mm pallet and a table load of 1,400 kg. No optional load steps are listed: 1,400 kg is the single figure.
Set beside the H 4000, the difference is the tool interface and what follows from it. The H 4000 has the same 800 mm travels and 630 x 630 mm pallet with HSK-A 63 and a standard load of 750 kg. HSK-A 100 holders are larger, and it shows in the magazine: the H 5000 stores up to 150 tools with 3 chain-type magazines or up to 425 with 4 rack-type magazines, where the H 4000 reaches 240 places with 4 chain-type magazines.
Workpieces can be up to Ø 900 mm and 1,090 mm high. The height exceeds the 800 mm Y stroke, so treat it as a clearance figure. Going up to the H 6000 brings 1,000 mm travels on the same 630 x 630 mm pallet and the same 1,400 kg load, which makes the choice between those two a matter of reach and not of weight.
Heller's table does not state spindle speed, power or torque for this model, and that leaves the main question about a heavy-cutting machine open until a quotation. Coolant through the spindle is 50 bar; 70 bar with frequency converter is an option. Controls offered are Siemens SINUMERIK ONE and Fanuc 31iB-Plus.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- HSK-A 100 spindle interface for large-diameter and long tools
- 1,400 kg table load on a 630 x 630 mm pallet, listed without needing an option
- Rack-type magazines hold up to 425 HSK-A 100 tools (4 magazines)
- Workpieces up to Ø 900 mm and 1,090 mm high
Limitations
- Chain-type storage tops out at 150 places (3 magazines), fewer than the 240 places of the H 4000 with HSK-A 63
- Travels are 800 mm per axis, the same as the H 4000; longer strokes need the H 6000 with 1,000 mm
- The 1,090 mm workpiece height is greater than the 800 mm Y travel
- Spindle speed, power and torque are missing from Heller's table for this model

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Because of the interface. The H 5000 uses HSK-A 100 and is listed with up to 150 storage places with 3 chain-type magazines or up to 425 places with 4 rack-type magazines. The H 4000 uses the smaller HSK-A 63 and is listed with up to 240 storage places with 4 chain-type magazines.
02
Heller lists a maximum workpiece of Ø 900 mm and 1,090 mm in height, with a table load of 1,400 kg. The axes travel 800 mm each, so a part at the full listed height is taller than the Y stroke.
03
Both use HSK-A 100, a 630 x 630 mm pallet and a 1,400 kg table load. The H 6000 has 1,000 mm of travel in X, Y and Z against 800 mm on the H 5000. If the part fits inside 800 mm travels, the H 5000 covers it; if not, the H 6000 is the next step.
04
50 bar is listed for coolant through the spindle. A 70 bar supply with frequency converter is listed as an option, so it has to be ordered if deep drilling or boring calls for it.
