Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from Hermle. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Hermle C 62 U is a large 5-axis machining centre built around a swivelling rotary table of Ø 1350 × 1100 mm (Ø 53.1 × 43.3 in) that carries 2,500 kg (5,512 lb). Travels are 1,200 mm (47.2 in) in X, 1,300 mm (51.2 in) in Y and 900 mm (35.4 in) in Z, so Y is the longest axis on the machine.

The maximum workpiece is Ø 1200 × H 900 mm (Ø 47.2 × H 35.4 in). Its diameter matches the X travel and its height matches the Z travel, which tells you the envelope was laid out for one big part sitting on the table centre, not for rows of small ones. The collision circle is Ø 1400 mm (55.1 in). The margin between that circle and the workpiece diameter is the room available for clamps and fixture corners that stick out past the part. Draw the fixture into that circle before quoting a job at the size limit.

Table clearance is max. 1,100 mm (43.3 in). With a part at the full 900 mm (35.4 in) height on the table, what remains above it has to hold the tool and its holder, so long-reach tooling and tall parts compete for the same space.

Spindle speed is offered as 9,000, 14,000 or 18,000 rpm. Those are lower top speeds than the 15,000 / 16,000 / 20,000 rpm options of the C 650 GEN2, which fits a machine meant for larger cutters, though the table gives no power, torque or taper to confirm how much larger. Rapid traverse is 50 m/min and the machine base is mineral cast.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Swivelling rotary table of Ø 1350 × 1100 mm (Ø 53.1 × 43.3 in) rated for 2,500 kg (5,512 lb)
Workpieces up to Ø 1200 × H 900 mm (Ø 47.2 × H 35.4 in) inside a Ø 1400 mm (55.1 in) collision circle
Rapid traverse of 50 m/min, against 35 m/min on the C 650 GEN2
Y travel of 1,300 mm (51.2 in), longer than the 1,200 mm (47.2 in) of X
Carries 2,500 kg (5,512 lb) on a table that swivels, close to the 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) the C 650 GEN2 takes on a fixed table

Limitations

The fastest spindle option is 18,000 rpm, while the C 650 GEN2 and C 400 GEN2 go up to 20,000 rpm
Hermle's table states no spindle power, torque or taper for this model
Tool magazine capacity and control are not among the listed rows
A part at the full 900 mm (35.4 in) height leaves limited room for tool length under the max. 1,100 mm (43.3 in) table clearance

Best For

Large 5-axis parts up to Ø 1200 × H 900 mm (Ø 47.2 × H 35.4 in) Heavy workpieces and fixtures up to 2,500 kg (5,512 lb) on a swivelling table Housings and structural parts that need 1,300 mm (51.2 in) of Y reach Large mould and die blocks machined on five sides in one clamping

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size and weight of part fits the C 62 U?

Up to Ø 1200 × H 900 mm (Ø 47.2 × H 35.4 in) and 2,500 kg (5,512 lb) on the swivelling rotary table, which measures Ø 1350 × 1100 mm (Ø 53.1 × 43.3 in). The part and its fixture together must stay inside the Ø 1400 mm (55.1 in) collision circle, and table clearance is max. 1,100 mm (43.3 in).

02 Is the C 62 U the same size as the C 62 U MT?

On the figures listed for both, yes. The C 62 U MT shows the same 1,200 mm (47.2 in), 1,300 mm (51.2 in) and 900 mm (35.4 in) travels, the same Ø 1350 × 1100 mm (Ø 53.1 × 43.3 in) table, the same 2,500 kg (5,512 lb) load, 50 m/min rapid traverse and 9,000 / 14,000 / 18,000 rpm spindle options. Size is not what separates the two models.

03 How does the C 62 U compare with the C 650 GEN2?

The C 650 GEN2 is smaller in every axis, with 1,050 mm (41.3 in), 900 mm (35.4 in) and 600 mm (23.6 in) of travel, and it is listed with a 1250 × 982 mm (49.2 × 38.7 in) fixed table for 3,000 kg (6,614 lb). The C 62 U adds the most in Y and Z, moves faster at 50 m/min against the 35 m/min of the C 650 GEN2, and has slower spindle options.

04 Which spindle speeds are available on the C 62 U?

Three options are listed: 9,000, 14,000 or 18,000 rpm. The table does not give the power, torque or taper that goes with each, so ask Hermle for the spindle data before deciding between a slower spindle for roughing and the 18,000 rpm version for finishing.
