Capable of fully interpolative 5-axis profiling as well as 5-sided machining of components within a 350 by 440 by 330 mm working volume, the machine can be adapted for partial or full automation. This is accomplished via Hermle's range of pallet change and storage systems, flexible manufacturing cells including material and workpiece storage, and handling systems based on robotic configurations.
Of gantry design, the C12U Dynamic's production potential is high, owing to its 8 m/s2 acceleration to traverse rates of 50 m/min in the linear axes. The fourth and fifth axes are provided by an 80 rpm/320 mm diameter C-axis rotary table driven by a torque motor mounted on a 55 rpm/±115° swivelling A-axis trunnion.
