HERMLE C 500 V VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machine features a three-axis travel capacity with 15.75 inches on the X-axis, 19.69 inches on the Y-axis, and 17.72 inches on the Z-axis, allowing for versatile machining of moderately sized parts. It operates with a maximum spindle speed of 16,000 RPM, enabling efficient high-speed cutting and finishing operations suited for various materials. The spindle accepts tools with an HSK 63 taper, a hollow shank design known for excellent rigidity, precision, and quick tool changes, compliant with DIN 69893 standards for optimized tool holding and torque transmission. Tool management and machining are controlled via a CNC system equipped with the HEIDENHAIN TNC 426 control, providing precise and flexible numerical control with advanced interpolation and programming capabilities suited to complex milling tasks. The combination of the travel dimensions and spindle specifications makes this setup well-suited for medium-duty milling applications demanding high accuracy and efficient tool changes. The integration of HSK 63 taper tooling ensures minimized runout and optimal spindle speed usage while maintaining machining stability and repeatability, critical for precision manufacturing environments. The CNC controller supports advanced motion control and tooling programming, facilitating high-quality part production with detailed control over feedrates, tool paths, and spindle operation. Overall, this equipment merges robust mechanical capabilities with precise electronic control, enabling high productivity and precision for complex machining operations.
