Hermle C 32 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a 25.59" x 25.59" (optionally 25.59" x 21.25") table capable of supporting workpieces up to 1,320 lbs. It offers a 5-axis configuration (optional 4-axis) without a U axis, with X, Y travels of 25.59" and Z travel of 19.69", all achieving rapid traverse speeds of up to 2,358 ipm for high-efficiency machining. The vertical spindle supports SK40 and HSK A63 tapers, with a top speed of 10,000 RPM (optional 18,000 RPM), and a standard power rating of 38 HP (30 min rating) with an optional 26.6 HP. The spindle uses a robust direct-drive motor designed for precision and high torque output suitable for diverse applications. Tooling is managed through an automatic tool changer (ATC) holding 36 tools, expandable up to 200 tools optionally, enabling fast tool changes in 4.5 seconds to minimize downtime. Additional options include rotary tables, pallet changers, and index tables for enhanced workpiece support and automation flexibility. This machine’s high feed rates, spindle power, and advanced tool capacity make it ideal for heavy-duty milling and precision machining tasks in aerospace, automotive, and mold manufacturing sectors. The spindle taper interfaces (SK40/HSK A63) ensure compatibility with high-quality tooling systems offering rigidity, accuracy, and high-speed processing capabilities. Overall, this center combines robust mechanical design with flexible tooling and high-speed spindle options suited for complex 5-axis machining operations.
