How much does the Starrag Heckert H90 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
Listed with 700 Nm (516 ft-lb) of spindle torque and a pallet load of 2,500 kg (5,512 lb), the Starrag Heckert H90 is a horizontal machining center for heavy parts on a 900 x 900 mm (35.4 x 35.4 in) pallet. Travels are 1,200 x 1,100 x 1,200 mm (47.2 x 43.3 x 47.2 in).
The spindle is an HSK-A100 unit with 55 kW (74 hp) and a 10,000 rpm maximum. The figures lean towards material removal in steel and cast iron: plenty of torque for large face mills and boring tools, and a top speed that is adequate for finishing but not aimed at small-tool work in aluminium. Rapid traverse is 45 m/min (1,772 ipm), so on parts with many short moves the positioning time will count for more than on a faster, lighter machine.
Mass is part of the design. The machine weighs 26,000 kg (57,320 lb), a little over ten times its pallet load, which is what resists deflection and damps vibration in a heavy cut, and which also has to be planned for in the foundation and rigging. Listed positioning accuracy is ±0.007 mm with ±0.004 mm repeatability.
Two pallets are listed, expandable through a pallet pool, and the B axis is worm-gear driven with 0.001 deg indexing. The magazine holds 80 tools and expands to 300. The control is Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl. One size up, the Heckert H100 has a 1,000 x 1,000 mm (39.4 x 39.4 in) pallet with 60 kW (80 hp) and 800 Nm (590 ft-lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 700 Nm (516 ft-lb) and 55 kW (74 hp) through an HSK-A100 spindle
- Pallet load of 2,500 kg (5,512 lb) on a 900 x 900 mm (35.4 x 35.4 in) pallet
- Travels of 1,200 x 1,100 x 1,200 mm (47.2 x 43.3 x 47.2 in)
- 80-tool magazine, expandable to 300
- Machine weight of 26,000 kg (57,320 lb) behind the cut
Limitations
- Spindle speed tops out at 10,000 rpm, which limits small-tool work in aluminium
- Rapid traverse of 45 m/min (1,772 ipm) is slower than the 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) of the Heckert X80
- Listed positioning accuracy of ±0.007 mm and repeatability of ±0.004 mm are the figures to weigh against tight bore and position tolerances
- A 26,000 kg (57,320 lb) machine needs foundation and rigging planning

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed pallet load is 2,500 kg (5,512 lb) on a 900 x 900 mm (35.4 x 35.4 in) pallet. Two pallets are listed, and the number can be expanded through a pallet pool.
02
HSK-A100, 55 kW (74 hp), 700 Nm (516 ft-lb) and a maximum of 10,000 rpm. The listed figures do not give the speed at which the full 700 Nm is available.
03
The Heckert H100 is the next pallet size: 1,000 x 1,000 mm (39.4 x 39.4 in) with 60 kW (80 hp) and 800 Nm (590 ft-lb), against 900 x 900 mm (35.4 x 35.4 in), 55 kW (74 hp) and 700 Nm (516 ft-lb) on the H90. Both use HSK-A100 and both start with 80 tools.
04
Rapid traverse is listed as 45 m/min (1,772 ipm) over travels of 1,200 mm (47.2 in) in X, 1,100 mm (43.3 in) in Y and 1,200 mm (47.2 in) in Z. The spindle runs up to 10,000 rpm.
05
26,000 kg (57,320 lb) going by the listed figures. Check the floor, the foundation requirement and the lifting route against that weight before the machine is ordered.
