Small Part Machining in a Compact Space



In a world where technology is getting more sophisticated and manufactured parts are becoming smaller and more complex, the demand for optimum precision has increased. As trends move in this direction, the need for machines that quickly and precisely produce intricate parts has increased as well. "While such demands historically required larger manufacturing footprints with multiple set-ups, Hermle's new C12 offers a compact size that still delivers best-in-class capabilities - so small part producers can step up to the most demanding level of machining without sacrificing more space than they really need," said a company spokesperson.

The C12 features 350 x 440 x 330 mm XYZ traverse and 30 m/min rapid linear traverse. The 31 kW/98 Nm main spindle drive features SK 40/HSK A63 and speeds to 12,000 RPM. The tool changer has 36 magazine pockets. Chip-to-chip time is approximately 4.5 seconds. The C12's control is a Heidenhain TNC 640.

"When it comes to producing small parts the room for error is virtually zero," said Robert Komljenovic, President of Hermle Machine Company. "The functional performance of small precision parts can be greatly affected by even the slightest imperfection. The stakes are incredibly high, particularly in the medical implant industry, where lives can literally depend on the performance of each component. The C12 offers a carefully engineered, compact polymer concrete base and offers precision, high dynamics and durability."
