New Automation and Industry 4.0 Technology



To celebrate 20 years of continuous North American operation, Hermle Machine Company will exhibit three new 5-axis machining solutions. Smart manufacturing, flexible automation and Industry 4.0 will be featured. A planned demonstration via a partnership with Haimer Corporation will showcase advanced machine connectivity and data transfer capabilities.

"In today's market if you are not taking steps toward smart manufacturing you really are not providing the best possible machining solutions," said Gunther Schnitzer, President and Chief Technology Officer. "We have transitioned from being a machine manufacturer to a process provider because we believe that achieving the highest level of automated efficiency absolutely includes integration of the entire work environment and periphery."

Machining centers and automation technologies to be displayed will include:

  • C 650-Hermle's newest machine model, the C 650 is the largest machine in the PERFORMANCE-LINE and complements the C 250 and C 400. C 650 uses a modification of Hermle's gantry-type design, with a mineral-cast machine bed that is manufactured in Hermle's mineral casting foundry in Germany. The swiveling rotary table can accommodate workpieces up to 1,500 kg, allowing for highly precise machining. The C 650 has an integrated tool magazine for 42 tools with two additional magazines with 50 or 88 extra magazine pockets available as options.
  • C 42 with HS Flex-The HS Flex handling system is a powerful and compact automation tool designed to fit both 3-axis and 5-axis PERFORMANCE-LINE machining centers (C 250, C 400) as well as HIGH-PERFORMANCE-LINE models (ranging from the C 12, C 22, C 32 up to the C42). The flat mineral casting bed, on which the three axes of the handling unit are operated, offer ergonomically convenient access for the operator. The two double-leaf doors, which have benefits in Hermle's robot systems, provide a two-fold function: during a pallet change procedure, they prevent access by the operator, and during machining of the workpiece, they provide access to the working view position and working area while preventing access to the handling unit. Another key function of HS Flex is the storage module. One module is installed as standard, and the adaptation of a second module is optional. The modules are structured as a rack, offering maximum customization in the pallet/workpiece arrangement. Up to five rack shelves can be ordered with a total of up to 25 pallet storage spaces per module, providing up to 50 pallet storage spaces when two modules are installed.
  • C22 with RS05 robot system-Offering short process cycles, quick workflows and high machine dynamics, the flexible C 22 machining center is suitable for machining high-value parts with enhanced accuracy and tight tolerances. At the booth, the C 22 will be combined with an RS05 robot system to show the endless applications for a variety of machining tasks. The storage systems for the RS05 are completely adjustable. The Hermle-Automation-Control-System (HACS) and the Hermle-Information-Monitoring-System (HIMS) will be used for easier operation.
  • C 42 UMT-This machining center will be on display at the Emuge Corporation booth W-431536 where Hermle will demonstrate punch tap technology. There will be live cutting of segments of a titanium blisk throughout the show.
