As the C 12’s bigger brother, the C 22 High-Performance-Line machining centre has the same collision circle with longer traverse paths and larger component dimensions – and that means a huge degree of flexibility.. The C 22 impresses with a large number of features. This predestines the C 22 for an especially wide range of applications, as the following examples show.
Short process cycles, quick workflows and the highest possible machine dynamics:: The flexible C 22 machining centre is ideal for machining high-value parts with excellent accuracy and small tolerances. As with most Hermle machining centres, the height-adjustable control panel can be altered to suit the operator’s working height.
The C 32 machining centre can machine workpieces weighing up to 1000 kg in five axes simultaneously. The machining centre can even deal with difficult-to-machine materials in record time and perfect precision – even fully automated and always with unbeatable operating comfort! The scope of usage for the C 32 is very wide.
The C 32 machining centre uses two axes in the workpiece and three axes in the tool. Dynamic positioning, short non-productive periods and secure holding in the desired machining position all go without saying. As does the very large working area in relation to the installation space.
The C 42 machining centre from the High-Performance-Line makes for an effective entry into MT technology – and it becomes a high-performance milling and turning centre. This includes various applications in the tool and mould making, medical, aerospace, motorsport, racing machine sectors and other industries: TheC 42/ C C 42 U MT machining centre is at home in every area.
As a milling/turning centre, the C 42 / C 42 U MT responds to demands for highest precision and very small tolerances through its workpiece-dimension-optimized traverse paths and thought-through 5-axis usage.
The C 52 machining centre is a flexible multitalent with an especially large working area on a very small installation area. With the C 52, workpieces weighing up to 2000 kg can be machined in 5 axes simultaneously – with unbeatable precision and accuracy. The C 52 sets new standards: These standards are particularly valued in demanding applications, for instance in the medical, aerospace and automotive industries. In short: wherever the highest precision and maximum efficiency are required.
Ample dimensions, high-performance spindle drives and many useful innovations for practical work turn the C 52 / C 52 U MT machining centre into a top performer.
‘State-of-the-art’ CNC machining – this is what the C 62 / C 62 U MT stands for as Hermle’s High-Performance-Line flagship at the top of the entire product range. The highly dynamic machining centre represents ultimately consistent design for efficient machining of CNC milled parts and CNC turned parts. The application clips show the details of how this works in practice.
Numerous features ensure high-precision and cost-effective work on workpieces up to 2500 kg in weight. Various optional extras simply add to the capabilities for innovative advanced machining. As with all Hermle machining centres, the C 62 / C 62 U MT offers various workpiece loading options to guarantee optimum operation.
The C 32 GEN2 is the ongoing transition towards a new machine generation of the future.
The machining centre mills even difficult-to-machine materials in record time and with perfect precision – even fully automated and always with unbeatable operating comfort! The range of applications for the C 32 GEN2 is extensive. The C 32 GEN2 machining centre has two axes in the workpiece and three axes in the tool. Dynamic positioning, short non-productive periods and secure holding in the desired machining position all go without saying. As does the very large working area in relation to the installation space. During this change process, the mechanics, which is fundamental to the precision and long-term accuracy of HERMLE products, was not altered. The key values of the machine remain exceptionally high, thereby clearly reaffirming its dominance in the field of 5-axis technology.
The C 42 GEN2 machining centre from the High-Performance Line is an effective gateway into MT technology – thereby evolving seamlessly into a high-performance milling and turning centre. As a milling and turning centre, the C 42 / C 42 MT GEN2 responds to demands for the highest precision and very small tolerances through its traverse paths optimised to the workpiece dimension and well thought-through 5-axis usage. During this change process, the mechanics, which is fundamental to the precision and long-term accuracy of HERMLE products, was not altered. The key values of the machine remain exceptionally high, thereby clearly reaffirming its dominance in the field of 5-axis technology.
Within the model range, the C 250 can be seen as the entry-level model for 5-axis milling – and for the Hermle Performance-Line. Thanks to the wide-reaching swivelling range of the workpieces in the working area, the exploitation of the full traverse range and the large collision circle between the table sections, the C 250 has the largest working area in relation to the installation area. And it is constructed for everyday use: The application video shows the Hermle C 250 U in the 5-axis version machining a Rockerbox in Toolox33 for vehicle technology.
Maximum precision thanks to the Hermle swivelling rotary table concept. The machining table has a large worm drive. On the A axis you can directly access the gearwheel on the table housing.
The C 400 is a dynamic and economical machining centre designed for 5-axis / 5-side machining. This is where Hermle’s well-known core competence in 5-axis technology comes into its own. The mineral cast machine bed provides for the C 400'sstable, vibration-free machining. You will find some application examples below from the areas of toolmaking and mould construction as well as machine construction.
Many features combine to make for economical 5-axis / 5-side machining. The C 400 machining centre is intended for high performance, large-scale machining of workpieces to high accuracy and surface quality. The C 400 features a large working area with a small installation area and can be ergonomically adapted to every machine operator - thus ensuring optimum ease of use.
In addition, the machining centre integrates the complete range of features which have already proven themselves in the smaller sister models C 250 and C 400. The top speed of the linear rapid traverses is 35 m/min. From machine construction to precision mechanics, from medical engineering to energy production, from the aerospace and automotive industry to tool and mould construction and the general subcontractor industry: The C 650 GEN2 is ideal for a wide range of milling operations.
HERMLE has been taking the subject of automation for HERMLE machining centres and milling machines seriously for many years now. The beginnings were modest, with simple automation and handling solutions; but as early as the mid-1990s, a specially founded subsidiary, HLS HERMLE Systemtechnik GmbH, took over the operations. Whether the problem involves pallet changers, pallet storage, additional magazines, handling systems, robot systems or complex turnkey projects, we provide you with optimal solutions for automating HERMLE products – everything from a single supplier, including servicing.
Why automation? Mankind has alway been very inventive when it comes to making work easier, avoiding hard and monotonous work and improving productivity. Now the main aims are to increase production times and decrease idle times and downtimes.
The better this can be achieved, the lower the machine-hour rate and the lower the personnel costs, meaning altogether lower capital commitment. Especially in times of staff shortages in the high-qualification areas, automation provides an alternative to manned triple-shift operations.
The kinetic spray process developed by HERMLE is the only one of its kind on the market and designed for components of all sizes. This process unites the idea of generative manufacturing and better milling, since the combination of material buildup and machining in a single machine offers hitherto undreamed-of possibilities, especially when it comes to producing metal components in all sizes. From the integration of efficient cooling ducts to ingenious material combinations – experience the exceptional features of this new additive manufacturing technology for yourself. As a service provider, we will be more than happy to offer our expertise gained from the successful completion of a significant number of projects.
