HELLER, a long-standing manufacturer of CNC machine tools, brings its latest innovations to EMO 2025 with a clear focus on enhancing productivity through AI integration. For the first time on the international Aerospace & Defence stage, the company presents its AI-enhanced machining technologies, particularly relevant for aerospace applications that demand both precision and efficiency.

At the heart of the exhibition are the HF 3500 and F 5000 five-axis machining centres. Visitors will witness live demonstrations showcasing how these machines combine high-performance hardware with advanced digital assistance systems. Among them: the new “ASK-me” AI chatbot interface, which enables machine operators to receive real-time support directly from the control panel using natural language input.

HELLER’s AI initiatives span three strategic domains: machine operation, predictive maintenance, and production planning. Tools like SETUP-Assist, PRODUCTION-Assist, and QUALITY-Assist help guide operators throughout the entire production process, while integrated sensors and AI analytics offer early insights into wear and performance issues.

One area of particular interest for the aerospace sector is the ability of the F 5000 machining centre to handle heavy, complex components with precision. Its modular architecture, tilt-head capability, and compatibility with automation systems such as the RP4 robot cell make it suitable for uninterrupted weekend shifts, even with frequent workpiece changes. The machine's flexibility is crucial for producing intricate aerospace parts, including structural components with undercuts and cavities.

HELLER also unveils a new rack-type tool magazine with mobile racks for efficient batch tool changes. The system supports up to 490 HSK-A 63 tools and enables parallel setup outside the machine, allowing for seamless tool swaps during unmanned operations.

By combining intelligent software, robust mechanical systems, and tailored automation, HELLER positions itself as a key enabler of smart, future-ready manufacturing in aerospace and other high-stakes industries.
