2015 HERMLE C 22 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2015 Hermle C 22 is a 5-axis vertical machining center manufactured by Berthold Hermle AG, offering simultaneous 5-axis contouring capability on a compact trunnion-table platform. The machine features Hermle's swiveling rotary table design with a 12.6-inch diameter, providing full 5-axis access to complex workpiece geometries in a single setup. The work envelope spans 17.7 inches in X, 23.6 inches in Y, and 13.0 inches in Z. The high-speed spindle delivers up to 18,000 RPM with approximately 22.8 HP continuous, enabling productive machining of aluminum, titanium, steel, and Inconel components. The Heidenhain iTNC 530 CNC control provides full simultaneous 5-axis contouring, high-speed machining cycles, and comprehensive tool management, with a conversational programming environment proven in aerospace and precision die-mold applications. Hermle's trunnion-table architecture keeps the workpiece centered within the rotational envelope, preserving structural rigidity and positional accuracy during simultaneous 5-axis cuts. The machine's cast-iron structure, precision spindle bearings, and thermal compensation systems support the tight tolerances required for medical, aerospace, and precision engineering components. Automation provisions including pallet and robot interfaces allow the C 22 to operate in unattended or lights-out production modes. Weighing approximately 19,840 pounds, the C 22 delivers Hermle's renowned precision and reliability in a compact, highly capable 5-axis package suitable for demanding precision manufacturing environments.
