Herker Acquires Vertical Machining Center to Further Increase Efficiencies

March 24, 2011 - PRLog -- March 24, 2011

MENOMONEE FALLS, WI -- As part of its ongoing commitment to production efficiency, Herker Industries has added a Hyundai-Kia V50D Vertical Machining Center to its equipment portfolio. Hyundai-Kia is one of few manufacturers to offer a 40 taper Vertical with a pallet changer, which drastically increases efficiency by effectively eliminating operator load/unload time. There is only a 6 second pallet change time and loading is done internal to the cycle time.  The increase in efficiency allows for additional throughput improvement.

In addition to the pallet changer, the V50D can accommodate 24 tools and offers coolant through tool capability.  It is ideally suited for the manufacture of parts up to 26” x 20” x 19”.

In business since 1952, Herker Industries is a world-class leader in precision machining, mechanical assemblies and contract welding. Located in a comprehensive 148,000-square foot manufacturing facility in Menomonee Falls, WI, Herker sets itself apart as a versatile company committed to exceeding customer expectations.
