C 42 / C 42 U MT Machining centre

The C 42 is an effective gateway into MT technology – thereby evolving seamlessly into a high-performance milling and turning centre.

The C 42 machining centre from the High-Performance Line is an effective gateway into MT technology – thereby evolving seamlessly into a high-performance milling and turning centre. This includes various applications in the tool and mould making, medical, aerospace, motorsport, racing machine sectors and other industries: The C 42 / C 42 U MT machining centre is at home in every area. As a milling and turning centre, the C 42 / C 42 U MT responds to demands for the highest precision and very small tolerances through its traverse paths optimised to the workpiece dimension and well thought-through 5-axis usage.

From the comprehensive fluid technology to the optimised chip management system and a range of cooling lubricant units to the hinged belt conveyor: The milling and turning centre of the High-Performance Line has a number of highlights to offer, e.g. the right chip disposal equipment for removing all types of chip from the working area. The C 42 / C 42 U MT can be transported without dismantling and set up without a foundation.

Energy efficiency in manufacturing and operation

HERMLE manufactures many components using lightweight construction and mineral casting technology. The high degree of own production, local suppliers and components with high efficiency factors also promote energy efficiency. Energy recuperation, high-quality servo drives and the legendary long service lives are all proof of the same high standards during actual operation.

HERMLE machining centre C 42 completely individual.

HERMLE offers you a wide range of options so that you can adapt the equipment of your HERMLE machining centre to your individual requirements.

It goes without saying that you will receive perfectly integrated systems and additions in which all elements are dovetailed, without friction or interface losses. Here are a few highlights:

Automation

Large pallet changer and complex robotics

A genuine milling/turning centre such as the C 42 / C 42 U MT also fulfils all demands in respect of automation. This starts with the compatible PW 850 pallet changer that can serve components and pallets with especially large dimensions. Further options are HS flex and the RS 05 / RSL, RS 2 and RS 3 robot systems. Up to three peripheral devices can be connected with the C 42 / C 42 U MT in this way. If required, the control tools HACS (“HERMLE Automation Control System”) and HIMS (“HERMLE Information Management System”) can be used to facilitate operation.

  • Pallet changer PW 850
  • Handling system HS flex heavy
  • Robot system RS 2 with two machining centres

Control

  • C 42 - Steuerung: Bedienpult
  • C 42 - Steuerung: Bedienpult

Heidenhain oder Siemens

Heidenhain TNC 640 / TNC7 and Siemens S 840 D – these are the two control systems which can be used with the C 42 / C 42 U MT. They feature a variety of configurations and functionalities – including tools for improving precision for rotary and swivel operations, shell transformation and transparent tool management. Options such as Dynamic Efficiency, Dynamic Precision or the Kinematic Opt. software also serve to widen the range of functions.

S&S Werkzeugbau - MPA

Cooler thanks to copper in the core

S&S Werkzeugbau GmbH
Spritzgusstechnik
Tool and mold making

S&S Werkzeugbau manufactures complete injection moulds entirely in-house – from design through to the initial moulding. However, the mould makers make an exception in the case of a reliable cooling solution for narrow cross-sections: Hermle Maschinenbau uses metal-powder application technology (MPA) to integrate copper into mould cores, thereby optimising heat outflow in the injection moulding process.

Accurate to the nearest hair is not precise enough

SK Technology
Prototyping

SK TECHNOLOGY is formidable when it comes to precision. That’s the result of an awareness that minute subtleties are the difference between acceptance and rejection – and a stock of machinery that can withstand critical inspection down to the micrometre range. This is where Hermle succeeds. Six automated 5-axis machining centres allow the cutting expert to be really picky.

NMH GmbH
Contract manufacturing

Price, quality and delivery dates are what really interest his customers, explains NMH Managing Director Christian Bulander. More recently, one robot and two virtually identical Hermle 5-axis machining centres have been helping the specialist engineering company and contract manufacturer to meet these challenging demands efficiently.
