Our key processing systems
HeiKey proline Standard
The HeiKey proline STANDARD combines the proven proline quality with an unbeatable price-performance ratio. It is based on the development of a basic machine with all the necessary stations and all the options for processing almost all key variants. It is the bridge between the HeiKey proline TWIN and the HeiKey proline EXTEND. With a total of 9 standard stations divided into 5 modules, it offers a high number of processing options. All this is limited to a space requirement of 7000 x 1750 x 2050 mm and a weight of approx. 10 tonnes.
HeiKey proline Extend
The HeiKey proline EXTEND offers solutions exclusively customised to your wishes and requirements. Naturally in proven proline quality. The HeiKey proline EXTEND is just right for you if the 9 stations of the HeiKey proline STANDARD are not enough for your application. The choice of options is almost limitless. Because the machine is customised for you. Whether a special input, processing or ringing of the keys, with the EXTEND we can fulfil your wishes even more precisely.
HeiKey Proline Twin
The HeiKey proline TWIN combines the proven proline quality with an unbeatable price-performance ratio. The basis is the development of a basic machine that can be equipped with any two stations from the TWIN range according to customer requirements. Due to its compactness, the machine consists of only one frame and therefore has a small footprint of just 2650 x 2350 x 2100 mm and a weight of approx. 4.0 tonnes. This means that it can even fit into a small production site. Another advantage of this concept is that the HeiKey proline TWIN can be converted with little effort.
HeiKey MAG
The HeiKey MAG is fed in as bulk material. It is output in the correct position and fully magazined. The magazine can be taught to different key types. Incorrect blanks are then sorted out accordingly.
HeiAssembly KFA
The HeiAssembly KFA can be operated either as a manual or automated workstation. Manufactured as a pin assembly line, the cell can work autonomously for up to 8 hours. Connection to your existing automatic broaching machine is also no problem. The pins are fed in via hose magazines which can be replaced from the outside at any time.
HeiAssembly Check
The HeiAssembly CHECK is an assembly system for automatic lock testing. The keys and cylinders are entered via trays. By recording the forces and characteristic curves, a comparison can be made with the target values, thus optimising quality control. If required, it is also possible to apply the keys.
HeiAssembly Line
Among other things, the HeiAssembly LINE includes broaching, pre-assembly of special parts and laser labelling of housings in locking technology. The LINE is customised to your needs. This means that additional work steps can also be integrated. Be it the assembly of the core pin and housing pins, the spring assembly or finally the micro lubrication of the finished cylinders.
Cylinder core machining at HEITEC
Our broaching machines enable fully automatic broaching of cylinder core profiles. Depending on the technical requirements, we equip our systems with customised tool carriers that can carry over 900 broaching blades per machine. Whether manual infeed, bulk material or post-processing, we offer the best solution for your production process.
Large number of different broaching profiles.
Customised clamping devices for the realisation of your requirements.
Fast, safe and precise thanks to synchronised servomotors on all axes.
Monitored broaching tools - efficient and trouble-free with reduced tool costs.
Wide range of core input and output options
Downstream machining possible
Our cylinder core machining centres
HeiCore Compact
The HeiCore COMPACT can be customised depending on what you need. You can decide for yourself whether manual or automated input is required. The broaching machine consists of a basic profile block and several variant profile axes. The whole system is rounded off by a tool breakage check and an optional deburring unit. The broaching cell can also be air-conditioned if required.
HeiCore Basic
The HeiCore BASIC combines the proven proline quality with an unbeatable price-performance ratio. It is based on the development of a table-top machine that can be used to manufacture complete systems in the smallest of spaces without the need for set-up. Due to its compactness, the machine consists of only one frame and therefore has a small footprint of just 2100 x 1750 x 2000 mm and a weight of approx. 2.0 tonnes. This means that it can also be installed in a small production site.
HeiCore proline Extend
The HeiCore proline EXTEND offers solutions exclusively customised to your wishes and needs. Naturally in proven proline quality and modern design. With customised pre- and post-processing of the cores. Up to 900 broaching tools can be permanently installed on the EXTEND. The broaching area is fully air-conditioned for accuracy. And both an oil mist extraction system and a chip extraction system have been included. As you can see, the range of options is almost limitless. Also because the machine is customised for you.
