How much does the Starrag Heckert H40 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 H40 is a horizontal machining center built around a 400 x 400 mm (15.7 x 15.7 in) pallet, with travels of 630 mm (24.8 in) in X, 560 mm (22.0 in) in Y and 630 mm (24.8 in) in Z. It is not in Starrag's current lineup, so the listed figures are of most use to someone assessing a used machine.
The travels are generous for the pallet. X and Z are each more than half as long again as the 400 mm pallet side, which leaves room to reach around a tombstone and to pull long tools clear before the B axis indexes. The pallet carries up to 500 kg (1,102 lb), so fixture weight has to be counted against the parts. A 2-pallet changer is listed as standard and described as FMS-ready.
The spindle is an HSK-A63 unit listed at 15,000 RPM and 28 kW (37.5 HP) continuous. No torque figure is listed, so ask for the torque curve before planning heavy roughing at low speed. Rapids of 60 m/min (2,362 IPM) and a 40-tool magazine, with 120 optional, fit short-cycle production.
Listed accuracy is ±0.004 mm (±0.00016 in) for positioning and ±0.002 mm (±0.00008 in) for repeatability, with 0.001° B-axis resolution. The control is a Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl. Set against the Heckert X80, which is listed with HSK-A100, 50 kW (67 hp) and 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) rapids, the H40 is the smaller-taper, faster-traversing machine.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 630 mm (24.8 in) of X and Z travel around a 400 x 400 mm (15.7 x 15.7 in) pallet
- 15,000 RPM HSK-A63 spindle with 28 kW (37.5 HP) continuous
- Rapid traverse of 60 m/min (2,362 IPM)
- 2-pallet changer listed as standard and FMS-ready
- Positioning accuracy of ±0.004 mm (±0.00016 in) and repeatability of ±0.002 mm (±0.00008 in)
Limitations
- Pallet load is 500 kg (1,102 lb), fixture included
- Standard magazine holds 40 tools; the 120-tool magazine is optional
- No spindle torque is listed, so low-speed roughing capacity cannot be judged from these figures
- Not in Starrag's current lineup, so parts and control support should be confirmed for any machine on offer

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The pallet is 400 x 400 mm (15.7 x 15.7 in) and carries up to 500 kg (1,102 lb). Travels are 630 mm (24.8 in) in X, 560 mm (22.0 in) in Y and 630 mm (24.8 in) in Z. No maximum workpiece diameter or height is listed, so check the swing against your fixture.
02
An HSK-A63 spindle listed at 15,000 RPM with 28 kW (37.5 HP) continuous. Torque is not listed. For comparison, the Heckert X80 is listed with HSK-A100 and 50 kW (67 hp).
03
The tool magazine is listed at 40 standard with 120 optional. The pallet changer is a 2-pallet unit as standard and is described as FMS-ready, so a larger pallet pool would come from a linked system and not from the base machine.
04
It is not in Starrag's current lineup. For a used machine, confirm the magazine size fitted (40 or 120 tools), the software level of the Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl control, and that the listed ±0.004 mm (±0.00016 in) positioning accuracy still holds with a recent calibration report.
