How much does the Starrag Heckert H100 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a horizontal machining centers (hmc) in this class — not a quote from Starrag. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Starrag Heckert H100 is a horizontal machining center with a 1,000 x 1,000 mm (39.4 x 39.4 in) pallet and an HSK-A100 spindle rated 60 kW (80 hp) and 800 Nm (590 ft-lb). Its tool magazine holds 80 tools and can be expanded to 300+.
Torque is the figure to read first. 800 Nm through an HSK-A100 interface is enough to drive large face mills, long boring bars and big taps in steel and cast iron, tooling that a smaller interface cannot hold stiffly enough. With 60 kW behind it the spindle can also keep a heavy cut going at higher speeds, although Starrag's table for this model gives no maximum spindle speed, so the speed range needs confirming.
The H100 sits between two neighbours in the range. Below it, the Heckert H80 is listed with 50 kW (67 hp) on an 800 x 800 mm (31.5 x 31.5 in) pallet. Above it, the Heckert HEC 1250 has a 1,250 x 1,250 mm (49.2 x 49.2 in) pallet, 65 kW (87 hp) and 1,000 Nm (738 ft-lb): 25% more torque than the H100 for about 8% more power, so the larger machine leans further towards heavy, slow cutting.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 800 Nm (590 ft-lb) of spindle torque with 60 kW (80 hp) of power
- HSK-A100 spindle interface for large-diameter and long-reach tooling
- 1,000 x 1,000 mm (39.4 x 39.4 in) pallet
- 80-tool magazine, expandable to 300+
Limitations
- No spindle speed is listed, so suitability for small tools or light-alloy work cannot be judged from the table
- Axis travels, pallet load and rapid traverse are not listed and must be confirmed against the part
- HSK-A100 tooling is larger and heavier than HSK-A63 tooling, which matters if the rest of the shop is tooled for the smaller interface

Frequently Asked Questions
01
An HSK-A100 spindle rated 60 kW (80 hp) and 800 Nm (590 ft-lb). The maximum spindle speed is not among the listed figures, so ask for the speed range and the torque curve if the work mixes heavy roughing with high-speed finishing.
02
The pallet is 1,000 x 1,000 mm (39.4 x 39.4 in). Axis travels and the maximum pallet load are not listed, so the largest part and fixture the machine can swing and carry has to be confirmed with Starrag.
03
The magazine holds 80 tools as listed and is expandable to 300+. The larger figure is an expansion, not the base configuration, so state the magazine size when the machine is configured.
04
The Heckert HEC 1250 is the next size up: a 1,250 x 1,250 mm (49.2 x 49.2 in) pallet, 65 kW (87 hp) and 1,000 Nm (738 ft-lb), against 1,000 x 1,000 mm (39.4 x 39.4 in), 60 kW (80 hp) and 800 Nm (590 ft-lb) here. Both use HSK-A100 and both start with an 80-tool magazine; the Heckert HEC 1250 expands to 400.
