Hermle C 42 U MT VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This high-performance vertical machining center features a robust 29.52" x 29.52" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 1,540 lbs, making it ideal for demanding production environments. The machine is equipped with a standard rotary table for enhanced versatility in complex machining operations. The vertical spindle utilizes an HSK T63 taper, delivering exceptional rigidity and precision, with a maximum speed of 18,000 RPM and a 30-minute power rating of 26.6 HP for sustained high-performance cutting. Tool management is handled by an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a standard capacity of 42 tools, expandable to 160 tools, and a rapid tool-to-tool change time of just 4.5 seconds, ensuring efficient operation and minimal downtime. The machine offers 5-axis control, with X, Y, and Z travels of 31.4", 31.4", and 21.65" respectively, and rotary axes A and B providing 260° and 360° rotation for intricate part geometries. All linear axes achieve a maximum feed rate and rapid traverse of 2,358 inches per minute, enabling swift and accurate movements. The absence of a pallet changer and U axis maintains a focused configuration for rotary and linear multi-axis machining. This machining center is engineered for high-speed, high-accuracy applications, supporting a wide range of industries requiring precision and productivity in complex part manufacturing.
