Machining centre C 400

The C 400 is a dynamic and economical machining centre designed for 5-axis / 5-sided machining.

This is where HERMLE’s well-known core competence in 5-axis technology comes into its own. The mineral cast low-vibration machine bed ensures that the C 400 has the required static stability. A host of features enables economical 5-axis / 5-sided machining. The C 400 machining centre offers a high cutting volume with enormous precision and an optimum surface finish. The C 400 has the largest working area in relation to its footprint and can be ergonomically adapted to the respective machine operator – thereby ensuring optimum ease of use.

From the comprehensive fluid technology to the optimised chip management system and a range of cooling lubricant units to the hinged belt conveyor: The C 400 Performance Line model has a number of highlights to offer, e.g. the right chip disposal equipment for removing all types of chips from the working area. This machining centre for 5-axis / 5-sided machining can be transported without being dismantled 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.

Update only with automation

Cafmeyer
Tool & mold making

Cafmeyer manufactures press moulds. The more complex the part, the more parts needed for the mould. In the past, the Belgian mould maker was sometimes pushed to the limits of its capabilities – both in terms of dimension and capacity. The company therefore decided to invest in a Hermle C 650 U 5-axis machining centre with HS flex heavy automation.

Open and honest, but without the show

Mangner
Contract manufacturing

Zerspanungstechnik Mangner chooses quality over loud marketing. The company owner now provides us with a rare glimpse inside the production facility. Nine 5-axis machining centres from Gosheim make up the bulk of the machinery. With them on its side, Mangner is sure it can live up to its delivery promises.
