2022 HERMLE C 22 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2022 Hermle C 22 is a 5-axis vertical machining center manufactured by Berthold Hermle AG, representing a refined generation of Hermle's compact trunnion-table 5-axis platform. The machine features a swiveling rotary table with a 12.6-inch diameter—expandable to 17.7 inches with the optional system table—enabling full simultaneous 5-axis contouring in a minimal footprint. The work envelope spans 17.7 inches in X, 23.6 inches in Y, and 13.0 inches in Z. The spindle is rated at approximately 41.6 HP at 20% CDF with a standard maximum speed of 15,000 RPM, with high-speed and ultra-high-speed spindle options available for micro-machining applications. The TNC 640 CNC control provides full simultaneous 5-axis contouring, high-speed machining cycles, advanced tool management, and graphical programming support for complex multi-surface components. Hermle's trunnion-table architecture ensures the workpiece remains centered in the rotational envelope, maintaining rigidity and accuracy during simultaneous 5-axis cuts. Compact cast-iron construction, precision spindle bearing systems, and thermal management measures support micron-level tolerances across extended production runs. Automation-ready provisions support pallet changers and robotic loading for unattended production. At approximately 19,842 pounds, the C 22 delivers Hermle's characteristic combination of precision, rigidity, and long-term reliability in a compact 5-axis format well-suited to medical implant, aerospace, and precision component manufacturing.
