Geo Kingsbury releases Hermle C32U Dynamic
A 5-axis machining centre has been added to the Hermle C-series range. The C32U Dynamic is capable of fully interpolative 5-axis profiling, as well as 5-sided machining within a working envelope of 650 by 650 by 500 mm. Availability is through sole UK agent Geo Kingsbury.
High dimensional accuracy and surface finish of machined components are claimed, suiting the machine to tool and mouldmaking, as well as to aerospace, medical and motorsport components.
Of gantry design, the C32U Dynamic has all linear guideways above the working area. Production potential is high owing to 10 m/s2 acceleration to traverse rates of 60 m/min in the linear axes. The Y-axis has a tandem drive for high machine dynamics and features a patented arrangement of three guideways, one mid-way between and set back from the outer two, halving the Y-axis span.
