HELLER solutions at Kreidler
Producing 24/7 in the µ-range
For 20 years, the company Kreidler has used HELLER machines and therefore also invested in machines from the HELLER H series, a machine concept with a high degree of standardisation, designed for robust processes. Ever since, Kreidler based in Horb, is producing 24/7 on the machine.
Task
- contract manufacture from small-scale series through to batch sizes of 100,000 items
- high-availability machines that achieve continuous operation with a consistent level of precision
- flexible machines that cover a broad and complex range of tasks
- high output without air conditioning
Project scope & solution
- 20 HELLER machining centres: MC 16, MCi 25, H 4000
- flexible use of all machines for the tasks at hand
- the HELLER H 4000 4-axis machining centre in particular covers a broad range of tasks
Result
- high flexibility for frequent order and workpiece changes and volume fluctuations
- very high product quality
- guaranteed future and power to compete thanks to the flexibility of machine use
Customer testimonial
Walter Kreidler
Owner of Kreidler
"We have been working with HELLER for 20 years now. Our first machining centre was the BEA 2, which we bought in 1991. This machine is still working to full capacity and delivers the same precision as it did on the very first day. This quality and reliability over the years also justifies the fact that HELLER machine are perhaps slightly more expensive. For us, this means that HELLER pays off every time."

Head of Mechanical Manufacturing at Komax
"If you have to deal with 30 pallets containing, at times, up to 50 different clamping points per clamping cube, you need the right tools in the magazine to avoid having to constantly change the tool sets. Our tool count currently stands at 409. Comparable or smaller machines simply do not achieve capacities such as these."
Günter Muhr
Managing Director at Franz Haas Waffelmaschinen
"HELLER has exceeded our expectations. Everything went well, the machines run extremely reliably and our throughput times have also measurably reduced."
Thomas Kaysser
Managing Director at H.P. Kaysser
"Our experience with HELLER, including Service, has been nothing but positive. We speak the same language, so there was simply no reason to change supplier. The entire team has now identified with the HELLER machining centres – because they deliver what HELLER promises!"
Frank Brunner
Head of Manufacturing and Production Engineering at Bitzer
"For batch sizes of up to 3 components, the machining centres have to perform reliably as soon as they are switched on, even after scheduled shutdowns. But neither availability nor the required precision presented a major challenge to the H 6000."
Gerhard Aigner
Head of Production at Engel Austria
"We consider quality to be fundamental. The tolerances for our core components are between two and three hundredths of a millimetre. That's why we made the conscious decision to go for HELLER machines, which are renowned for their stability."
Nicholas Warnken
Project Manager at Fette Compacting
"Key contributors to these massive savings are fewer setups thanks to the 5th axis and higher achievable cutting parameters. On the other hand, however, it was the overall package, including the automation system and new tool technologies, that was able to optimise the processes in this way".
