Save time with a highly flexible and precise machining center

In the metalworking sector, innovation is an important lever for a more efficient production process. By deploying smart and flexible machining centers, companies in this competitive sector can produce faster and with higher quality.

The originally German company Hermle is internationally regarded as a manufacturer of high-quality, innovative machining centers. Their company slogan "Better milling" says it all. They develop and produce machines to mill faster, more precisely and with better results, both for large complex parts and very small high-tech parts. This is how they help their customers in a variety of industries achieve greater profitability.

New three- or five-axis machining center C 650

The new C 650 machining center from Hermle enables extremely precise and fast cost-effective three- and five-axis machining of metal.

At Machineering 2019, Hermle will present its new C 650 machining center to the general public. With this machine, the German machine builder is expanding the Performance-Line series upwards. Customers can now choose from three machine models for cost-effective three- and five-axis metal machining. The C 650, like its predecessors, the C 250 and C 400, is built according to Hermle's proven gantry designs and has a machine bed made of cast minerals. The integrated clamping table can accommodate workpieces up to 3,000 kg in the three-axis version, making it the perfect solution for tool and die making and for machine construction. With the five-axis version, workpieces up to 1,500 kg can be milled and turned on the swiveling round table with extreme precision. The integrated swivel axis with the rotary axis and high-torque motors can be combined. Thanks to this innovation, Hermle's machining center is extremely agile and fast.

Fast and flexible tool loading

The C 650 has an integrated tool magazine for 42 tools that can be expanded with two additional magazines with 50 or 88 additional tool slots. The control panel can easily be swung to the tool loading area. This makes entering tool data much easier. With the Heidenhain control TNC 640 with a 19" TFT color touch screen, the machine is easy to program. As an option, the C 650 can also be equipped with the ergonomically adjustable Comfort control panel. The various digital building blocks from Hermle, such as HIMS (Hermle Information-Monitoring-Software) and HACS (Hermle Automation-Control-System) are also available as options.
