HERMLE C 42 U VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a robust spindle with a power output of 20 kW capable of rotation speeds up to 18,000 RPM, enabling high-speed milling and precision operations. Its physical workspace dimensions measure 31.5 inches in both X and Y axes, and 21.7 inches in the Z axis, offering a substantial working envelope for complex three-dimensional machining tasks. It is equipped with an 85-position automatic tool changer (ATC), facilitating efficient tool management and minimizing downtime during production runs. The spindle interface employs an HSK-A63 taper, ensuring high precision tool holding and quick tool changes. The machine operates under the Heidenhain iTNC 530 CNC control system, renowned for its versatile and workshop-oriented contouring capabilities suited for milling, drilling, and boring. This control offers advanced programming features, adaptive feed control, and touch probe cycles to enhance machining precision and process optimization. The iTNC 530 supports a broad range of motor types and feedback systems, integrating seamlessly with high-speed spindle drives and multiple encoder technologies for accurate position feedback. Network connectivity and security features within the control provide configurability for remote monitoring and integration into industrial automation environments. This combination of high spindle power, extensive tool capacity, precise tool interface, and sophisticated CNC control makes the machine ideal for high-performance and flexible manufacturing applications in demanding industrial settings.
