Mestdagh sets new standards in precision engineering with a world first in Belgium

It is the first company in Belgium to install the latest generation of HERMLE with a robot
cell. This is an absolute world first and a decision that goes beyond technology.

The focus is on the HERMLE C 32 GEN2, a state-of-the-art 5-axis machining centre that can machine complex parts with extreme precision and efficiency, taking both the capacity and quality of production to an even higher level. At the heart of this innovation is the combination of the HERMLE C 32 GEN2 with the RS 1 robot cell.

While the machine itself ensures unparalleled precision and stability when milling complex parts, the integrated automation enables a completely new way of working. The robot cell enables autonomous production around the clock without compromising on quality. In addition, the automatic changeover between workpiece handling and pallet loading allows for quick changes between orders.

The result? Speed, flexibility and the ability to produce individual parts and small batches as well as larger series with the same care and precision.

Technical highlights:

C 32 GEN2 – 5-axis machining centre:
● Simultaneous 5-axis milling with 3 workpiece axes and 2 tool axes
● Travel range: 650 × 650 × 500 mm
● Table up to Ø 650 × 540 mm, max. load capacity 1000 kg (or more with tandem)
● Spindle speeds up to 42,000 rpm
● Rapid traverse: 45–60 m/min
● New generation of drives and IO-Link sensors for efficiency and diagnostic options
● Energy-efficient thanks to lightweight construction, mineral cast components,
regeneration and optimised cooling systems
RS 1 – flexible automation cell:
● Compact, modular robot system (approx. 12 m²)
● Rack storage concept with automatic gripper and adapter change
● Setup station enables preparatory work during production
● Fully integrated into the HERMLE software environment (operation via touchscreen)
