5-axis machining of
V12 cylinder crankcases
With the modern STC range, StarragHeckert presents a machining
system fully exploiting the fine art of Swiss-Saxonian machine tool
building.
With these dynamic machining centers you have a production tool at your
­disposal capable of machining complex workpieces in aluminium, steel, tita­
nium or other difficult to machine materials; in a five axis simultaneous mode
and from five sides, at any angle, to the ultimate in precision.
The STC range is particularly suitable for challenging machining solutions in ­the
aviation and for the gas and steam turbine building industries, as well as in the
precision machine industry and general production technology.­Their high
modularity enables the machining centers to ­be optimally
adapted for various ­technological re­quirements.­

New technologies call for ever more­
efficient production methods. At the­
same time, high quality and precision
are demanded. With the STC range,
StarragHeckert has de­veloped a ma­­
chining center offering unequalled fle­
xibility for achieving innovative pr­o­­­
duction concepts.­
Modularity for Flexibility
Flexible Machining Concept
Impellers and Blisks
With the STC range, StarragHeckert has
developed a machining system that can
convert your innovative production con­
cepts into reality with more flexibility and
consequently more production reliability.
New technologies, fast changing applica­
tions as well as ever increasing demands
on quality and precision require modular,
intelligent manufacturing methods and cor­
responding machining concepts.
Precision and high availability are essential­
when machining impellers and blisks of the
latest generation. This is particularly the
case when difficult to machine materials,­
such as titanium or Inconel, are being
machined. Thanks to decades of experi­
ence in the 5-axis machining of air stream
surfaces we are in a position to competently
support you in every way – not only with our
latest modern machines, but also with our
own specially developed CAM software, our
General Production Technology
The trend to wards ever more complex
work­­pieces in the automotive industry, the
precision machine industry and mould and
die manu­facturing, coupled with engineers’
aspirations for optimised machine modules,
call for new, innovative manufacturing con­
cepts. Solutions are called for that simplify
production processes, raise efficiency and
that can be flexibly implemented whilst
guaranteeing top quality. StarragHeckert’s
STC range fulfils these requirements in every
way thanks to their dynamic five axis con­
figurations. An intelligent tool management
system and modular extendable workpiece
handling ensure smooth and time saving tool
and pallet change systems.
specially adapted tools, and a wide range
of innovative­technological services.
Complex Structural Components
Parallel to the rapid development in metal
cutting technology, the innovative engineers’
demands on the production specialists also
continually rise – particularly in the modern
aviation sector where increasingly complex
titanium structural parts are manufactured.
Outstanding static and dynamic qualities
and high capacity machine spindles are cal­
led for from the machining centers; making
economic, high performance manufacturing
possible and thus saving time on the one
hand and simplifying the production process
on the other.
STC machining centers show their true
potential when it comes to machining
par­ticularly complex workpieces, where
machining has to take place non perpen­
dicular to the machine axis. Since the tool
can be positioned relative to the workpiece
at any angle, such components can be ma­­
chined in a single set-up, thus drastical­ly
reducing fixturing costs and shortening lead
times.

Innovation and Cooperation
Machine Systems for the Demands
of Tomorrow
Shorter Machining Times and Minimal
Non-Productive Times
Global competition, short production cycles,
an ever increasing variation of components­
as well as the capability to anticipate prob­
lems are the characteristics of success­ful
production facilities. StarragHeckert’s STC
range is specially designed to accommo­
date the continuously changing demand of
manufacturing technology.
Thanks to its modular machine concept, the
STC Series can quickly adapt to new tech­
nological demands.
Our wide selection of high performance spin­
dles for different speed ranges, torques and
power, makes it possible to employ the very
latest tools. High feeds, shorter machining
times and reduced cutter wear result.
In addition, thanks to the modularly extend­
able tool and workpiece handling systems
with their fast rapid traverses, idle times can
be kept to a minimum.
Excellent Process Stability
The unique process stability of the STC
range is due largely to its excellent static
and dynamic characteristics.
The STC Series has an extremely rigid
frame structure that has been calculated
and optimized by the FEA method. Even
under extreme cutting conditions and when
machining difficult materials, the drive power
can be exploited to the full. Long tool life
results from the stable, low vibration cutting –
a key factor in economical production.
High Availability
The economics of a machining center are
determined not solely by its performance
but also by its availability and total func­
tional reliability.
Economical Advantages of Complete
Machining
The STC range of machine centers makes it
possible to machine workpieces in a single­
set-up. The complete machining proc­ess
reduces preparation and the setting up of
workpieces to a minimum; resulting in short­
er lead times, lower logistic costs and there­
fore subsequ­ently increasing the efficiency
of the machine.

STC Series
That is why StarragHeckert turns to depend­
able,­­proven sub-assemblies with high grade
components – and above all, highly skilled
and motivated people aware of their respon­
sibilities.
To minimize downtimes, the STC Series is­
equipped with a system that graphically dis­
plays diagnostic routines (SAM). The root
causes of errors can be localized in a very
short time and the diagnostic routines sup­
port their correction.
In addition, our re­mote diagnostic system
assures immediate online support from our
specialists.
Partnership for Problem Solving
StarragHeckert provides individually matched
solutions to your specific production chal­
lenges. Our experienced technologists­ will
help you set new production mile­stones.­
Needless to say, we are also ready to prove
and document the capabilities of the STC
Series by trial machining.
Productivity, precision, flexibility and re­­
liability are more than just catchwords for
StarragHeckert.

Thanks to the STC 1250/150’s in­no­­­
vat­­ive trunnion table concept, new
dimensions in high precision can be
reached for the economical machining of complex workpieces,­ which
often need to be worked at right
an­gles to the pallet.­
STC 1250/150
Technology in Movement
Outstanding Stability
Direct Measuring Systems
The STC 1250/150’s special axis concept
enables the milling spindle to work with ulti­
mate stability whilst remaining bidimension­
ally slim. This design allows high machin­
ing torque to be achieved, even with long
tools, thus procuring enormous advantages,
­particularly in the case of difficult to access
workpieces such as gear box cases.
Various factors contribute to the STC
1250/150’s class leading precision, but in
particular it is the high machining quality and
geometrical exactness in all precision based
assemblies that deserves a special mention.
On top of that we of course also use direct
measuring systems in all five axis.
Higher Precision
Wherever it is necessary to machine at
right angles to the pallet, the STC 1250/150
­displays its real strengths. Since the work­
piece can be machined from one side, elimi­
nating the necessity to index the ­component
180 degrees, machining precision is sig­
nificantly improved. An extremely stable
machine structure and high process stability­
are excellent requisites for the machining
of difficult materials such as titanium and
Inconel – deciding criteria, in particular for
the aviation industry, as well as in general
production technology.
Automatic Pallet Changer
Workpieces with a weight of up to 3'000 Kg
can be machined on the 1000 x 1250 mm
pallets. The STC 1250/150 is equipped with
two automatic pallet changers as standard.
NC Quill
Deep drilling and complex workpieces can
usually only be realised with great effort and
loss of stability. The STC 1250/150’s rigid,
horizontally arranged spindle is the perfect
requisite for the use of a wheel away quill.

extendable NC quill

Selectable Tool Handling
The STC 1250/150 is optionally available

Depending on the requirements, the STC
1250/150 can be extended into a flexible
machining cell with linear pallet system or
can be integrated into an FMS solution with
main host computer.
