Hermle C 400 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 25.590" x 25.590" (optionally expandable to 42.120" x 27.560") capable of supporting workpieces up to 1,320 lbs. The machine is equipped with a high-performance vertical spindle utilizing an HSK A63 taper, delivering a maximum speed of 15,000 RPM (optionally 18,000 RPM) and powered by a 26.7 HP motor (30-minute rating). Tooling is managed by an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a standard capacity of 38 tools (expandable to 125), enabling rapid tool-to-tool change times of 6.5 seconds for efficient production cycles. The machining center operates on a 5-axis configuration (X, Y, Z, A, B), with travel ranges of 33.460" (X), 27.560" (Y), 19.690" (Z), and an A-axis rotation of 230°, providing versatile multi-axis machining capabilities. Maximum feed rates and rapid traverse speeds are set at 1,375 ipm across all linear axes, ensuring fast and precise movement for complex contours and high-speed machining operations. The absence of a U axis and pallet changer maintains a streamlined design focused on core milling and multi-axis tasks. This machine is engineered for demanding applications in aerospace, automotive, and mold manufacturing, combining high spindle performance, generous work envelope, and advanced automation for precision and productivity.
