2007 HERMLE C50U VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2007 Hermle C50U is a large-format 5-axis vertical machining center from Berthold Hermle AG, designed for simultaneous 5-axis machining of large, complex workpieces in aerospace, energy, and precision manufacturing. The machine features a swiveling rotary table of 45.3-inch diameter with a clamping surface of 45.3 by 35.4 inches, enabling full 5-axis access to large workpiece geometries in a single setup. The work envelope spans 39.4 inches in X, 43.3 inches in Y, and 29.5 inches in Z. The high-speed spindle delivers up to 18,000 RPM—with a 12,000 RPM high-torque Dynamic variant available—with an S6 power rating of approximately 75 HP for demanding material removal in titanium, Inconel, and hardened steel. The Heidenhain iTNC 530 CNC control provides full simultaneous 5-axis contouring, high-speed machining cycles, advanced tool management, and thermal compensation, supporting complex programs for large aerospace structural components, precision molds, and energy sector parts. Hermle's trunnion-table architecture maintains workpiece rigidity and positional accuracy during simultaneous 5-axis cuts at scale. The machine's heavy cast-iron construction and precision spindle bearing systems provide the foundation for long-term accuracy across demanding production environments. Automation provisions support pallet changers and high-capacity loading systems for extended unattended operation. The C50U represents Hermle's proven large-format 5-axis capability with a strong track record across aerospace, defense, and high-precision manufacturing sectors.
