Precision Long-Thread & Screw Milling Technology
Heckert GFL machines are the gold standard for long workpieces:
• Rigidity: Capable of handling massive torques during milling.
• Accuracy: Maintaining micron-level pitch precision over several meters.
• Longevity: German-engineered cast iron frames that last generations.
The Heckert GFL series represents the pinnacle of specialized milling for long, cylindrical workpieces requiring complex threads or profiles. Unlike standard lathes, these machines utilize high-speed milling heads (Whirling) to achieve superior surface finishes and extremely fast cycle times for large-diameter screws. It is an essential asset for any facility specialized in the manufacturing of extrusion screws or heavy-duty motion control components.
