Why Hennig
Engineered for Your Industry
Machining Automation
CNC shops keep pallets moving and machines cutting nights, weekends, and short-staffed shifts with Hennig’s WorkFlow automated pallet delivery system.
CNC Machine Tool
Even the best CNC machines are only as good as their peripheral equipment. If systems aren’t built to work together, jams, crashes, and tolerance errors will cause downtime and scrap costs.

Recoverable with Workholding
Based on 250 working days/yr. Multi-part fixturing reduces changeover frequency so your spindle spends more time cutting.
