HERMLE C20U VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center offers robust capabilities with a working envelope of 23.6" (X-axis), 17.7" (Y-axis), and 17.7" (Z-axis) travel, enabling complex three-axis milling operations. It features rapid traverse rates of 1,771 inches per minute on all axes, supporting high-speed positioning and efficient cycle times. The load capacity of the table is substantial at 600 lbs, with a compact 11" x 11" table size, suitable for medium-sized parts. Powered by a 54 HP spindle motor, it delivers spindle speeds up to 18,000 RPM, allowing for precision machining of a variety of materials including metals and composites. A 30-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) increases productivity by minimizing manual interventions during tool transitions. The machine’s footprint measures 130" x 95" x 110" with a machine weight of 15,500 lbs, ensuring stability and rigidity during high-speed machining. Such specifications make it ideal for demanding milling tasks requiring high accuracy, repeatability, and efficient throughput. It is well suited for aerospace, automotive, and industrial component manufacturing where precision and cycle time optimization are critical. The combination of high spindle power, rapid travel rates, and a versatile ATC supports complex part geometries with tight tolerances and fine surface finishes. This machining center integrates the mechanical robustness and speed necessary for effective 3-axis CNC milling production environments.
