Machine Units and Options.
For Your Individual Machine
Live tools
Turning, drilling, milling and tapping in only one chucking offers the best
machining quality. Just one chucking means no charge-over and less
fixturing.
Disk turret with 8 tool fittings and live tools
Turret or tool changer
We perform your individual turning task. You can choose: 2 or 4 axes with
turret or tool changer – everything is possible.
The design of the tool magazines can be adapted individually to the
required types of tools. Two different tool magazines are available in our
product range:
, Standard disk-type magazine
, Chain- or rack-type magazine for a high number of tools
Apart from different magazines it is also possible to store different tool
holders. Depending on the machining task we use for example VDI tools
for turning processes and tools with modular tool systems for drilling and
milling processes.
Tool changer with 36 places
Tool magazines
Tool changer with 24 places

4-axis machining ensures highest productivity and optimum use for all
VDM machining centers.
VDM 1600-12 with 2 cross-slides
VDM 550-12 with 2 cross-slides and turret
Highest productivity due to 4-axis and 2 main spindles.

Automation
Automatic work piece handling
For the manchining of larger parts it is getting more and more important
today to reduce idle time and to increase productivity. We provide different
approaches and solutions for the automation of all systems machining
parts up to 2000 kg and to thus completely eliminate manual loading and
unloading. This leads to high efficiency and repeat accuracy which is further
increased by the integration of additional options such as turning stations,
camera recognition and measuring systems. Benefit from our know-how
and experience. MAG Hessapp provides automation solutions for your production.
One of the core competences of our company for more than
60 years.
Flexible automation for machining of different railway-wheels
Integrated work-piece handling on a VDM 900-11 for truck brake drums
Flexible manufacturing system for the machining of wheel hubs in different operations with gantry
