Hybrid automation.
Handle pallets and workpieces with one system.
Hybrid automation is an innovative special form of automation that combines workpiece and pallet handling in one system. Hybrid solutions offer great efficiency advantages, especially in the mixed production of single parts and series. However, they also require more investment than pure pallet magazines or workpiece handling systems.
Systems for automated loading of pallets and workpieces.
The choice of the optimum automation solution should always be customised to your individual requirements. Depending on the number of pieces, workpiece dimensions and the desired unmanned running time, we offer you a wide range of solutions for automated loading of our CNC machining centres. In addition to our in-house automation solution for loading workpieces and pallets, the MARATHON RZ430, you have the option of choosing from a wide range of solutions from our renowned partners.
Save advantages, thanks to hybrid automation.
Hybrid automation offers a number of advantages that are specifically designed to maximise efficiency and flexibility in modern manufacturing. By combining workpiece and pallet handling in one system, both single parts and series production can be handled flexibly and autonomously.

CNC users report from the field.
Anyone visiting WuM Werkzeug- und Maschinenbau GmbH in Mühlhausen, Thuringia, will get an impression of the end products that are manufactured using their tools from the entrance lobby. WuM machines high-precision stamping tools for the automotive industry on a TILTENTA 7, an ACURA 85 and a FORTE 11.
The innovative Metallverarbeitung Uwe Ebertz GmbH is based in Sinn-Fleisbach, Hesse. Since its foundation, the family business has undergone a transformation from a sheet metal processor to a comprehensive service provider in metal processing. Modern technologies made in Germany are used, such as the Tiltenta 7-3200 machining centre from HEDELIUS Maschinenfabrik GmbH.
With around 60 employees at its Dillenburg site in Hesse, SIBA Metallverarbeitungs GmbH has been a reliable partner for a wide range of industries for over 60 years. A company that is so comprehensively installed must be able to act highly flexibly in production. This is why SIBA has relied on HEDELIUS machining centres for many years. The company currently relies on two automated systems that ensure maximum precision, unmanned running times and short reaction times: the ACURA 65 EL with PROMOT automation and the ACURA 65 MARATHON with MARATHON SR422 pallet magazine.
Machining centres for automation.
HEDELIUS machining centres from the EL series enable manufacturer-independent automation of production. Loading takes place via a pneumatically activated loading opening on the side of the machine. This means that the work area remains fully accessible for manual single part production as well as set-up and control work.
