Hermle C 650 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 35.43 inches in length by 29.53 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 3,307 lbs. The machine is equipped with a standard rotary table for enhanced versatility in complex machining operations. The vertical spindle utilizes an HSK A63 taper, delivering a maximum speed of 15,000 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 18,000 RPM, and provides a 30-minute horsepower rating of 56.32 for demanding cutting tasks. Tooling is managed by an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a standard capacity of 42 tools, expandable to 130 tools, and achieves a chip-to-chip tool change time of 6 seconds. The machine supports 5-axis control, enabling precise multi-directional machining. Axis travels are 41.34 inches (X), 35.43 inches (Y), and 23.62 inches (Z), with the A-axis offering 115 degrees of rotation. Maximum feed rates and rapid traverse speeds for all linear axes reach 1,375 inches per minute, ensuring high productivity and efficient material removal. The design integrates advanced motion control for smooth, accurate movements, making it suitable for high-precision applications in aerospace, automotive, and mold manufacturing industries.
