1988 - Setting up of the company in Alzenau
The need for good service and the constant demand by customers for an excellent service technician was regarded by Mr Heun as a solid basis for setting up the company.
1990 - More than thousands of items
of consumables, wear and tear parts as well as spare parts on stock, to cope with the requirements of the customers and to keep the machines efficient and operative.
1991 - Trading as a GmbH (Limited Company)
because of the steadily increasing turnover and increasing number of employees.
1992 - Expansion of enterprise
by the building of a new plant in Kahl/Main with its own development and demonstration centre and modern office areas.
The first phase to get on the market was with modules to make EDM machining possible. They consisted of a universally adaptable eroding head with servo unit and a portable generator with a high pressure pump. These modules are still available in an improved version. They are used for carrying out special tasks as, for example, the removal of rivets from the outside plating of aircraft.
1993 - First machine type APos
filled the clientele with enthusiasm at the EMO fair in Hannover.
This first machine is still working to the satisfaction of the customer. More customers, mainly from the fields of tool and mould making, were gained by exhibiting the machine at further fairs.
1994 - CNC-tilting head and rotary table
were delivered for the first time with machine type APos 600 to Rehau.
1995 - Series manufacture
started on 3 different machine types, APos 350, APos 600, APos 1000.
1998 - Revolutionizing changes
due to the use of an industrial PC. Since other control systems, available on the market were either too complicated or to expensive, a specific control system for the machines themselves was developed, based on the operating system Windows NT® .
1998 - Development
of a new high-speed generator. With this generator it is possible for the first time to achieve higher drilling speeds with less wear and with a lower power consumption.
1998 - Growing number of employees
made it necessary to expand the area of the company.
1999 - Expansion of the product range
by an easy to handle machine with manual X-Y-crossing table and digital display. The quality of this machine corresponds to the high standard of Heun, even so, it has a favourable price.
2000 - New demonstration centre
opened in the yet again expanded building. Here the different machine types are presented much better.
2001 - Special machine
for the machining of tungsten carbide was added to the delivery programme.
2002 - Electrode changer
with variable guide system.
2003 - EDM drilling machine SP-26 CNC
submerged with oil. Also available as SP-36 CNC.
