HELLER solutions at Olocco
Improvement of the cycle time and quality of the parts
Founded in 1950 in Fossano, Olocco S.r.l. produce rotary valves, diverting valves and conveying/dosing components and has always designed and manufactured its own products. With special treating versions they are able to respond to every request of the market, from food, plastics, chemical, pharmaceutical and construction materials. Starting from 2014, the customer decided to renew and increase the machining centres in his own production to improve product flexibility and quality.
Task
- production of different types of pieces with low volumes
- machining of aluminum and steel parts
- possibility to use bridge boring bars for large diameters
Project scope & solution
- 4-axis machining centre H 4500 with unit for aluminum parts, and HSK-A 100 tool shank for high machining rigidity
- flexible production system with one 4-axis machining centre H 5000 and one pallet handling system Fastems FPC 1500 with 10 storage places
- 4-axis machining centre H 5000 (stand-alone machine) for the production of steel parts
- magazine for tools of high length and diameter
Result
- improvement of the cycle time and quality of the parts thanks to the use of a latest generation machine
- highly flexible production

"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."

"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".
