2000 HERMLE C800U VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2000 Hermle C800U is a 5-axis vertical machining center from Berthold Hermle AG, representing a mid-size 5-axis platform from Hermle's earlier C-series generation. The machine features a swiveling rotary table configuration with a pallet area of 21.3 by 21.3 inches, enabling 5-axis machining of medium-size complex workpieces in aerospace, medical, and precision die-mold applications. The work envelope spans 31.5 inches in X, 23.6 inches in Y, and 19.7 inches in Z. The high-speed spindle delivers up to 15,000 RPM as standard—with some configurations featuring up to 24,000 RPM optional high-speed spindles—with approximately 25.5 HP at S6 rating, providing capable material removal in aluminum, steel, titanium, and Inconel. The Heidenhain TNC 430 CNC control provides simultaneous 5-axis contouring, canned cycle programming, high-speed machining cycles, and tool management, supporting complex precision part programs. Hermle's trunnion-table architecture maintains workpiece rigidity and positional accuracy during 5-axis simultaneous cuts. The machine's cast-iron construction and precision spindle bearing systems provide consistent performance over the machine's service life. Organized coolant delivery and chip management support sustained production throughput. At approximately 17,750 pounds, the C800U represents a capable mid-size 5-axis precision machining platform from Hermle's established C-series lineage, suitable for demanding precision manufacturing environments.
