How much does the Hermle C 62 U MT cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a mill-turn / multi-tasking machine in this class — not a quote from Hermle. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Hermle C 62 U MT is a 5-axis mill-turn machining centre whose swivelling rotary table doubles as the turning spindle: the C-axis is continuous through 360 degrees, with up to 800 rpm listed for turning. It takes workpieces up to Ø 1200 × H 900 mm (Ø 47.2 × H 35.4 in) and 2,500 kg (5,512 lb), within travels of 1,200 mm (47.2 in) in X, 1,300 mm (51.2 in) in Y and 900 mm (35.4 in) in Z.
Among the MT models it is the one for the heaviest parts. The C 52 U MT stops at 2,000 kg (4,409 lb) with 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of X travel, and the C 42 U MT GEN2 at 1,400 kg (3,086 lb) with 800 mm (31.5 in). The trade for that size is pace: rapid traverse here is 50 m/min, where the C 52 U MT lists X 60, Y 60, Z 60 m/min.
Set beside the C 62 U, the size rows are identical. The C 62 U shows the same travels, the same Ø 1350 × 1100 mm (Ø 53.1 × 43.3 in) table and the same 2,500 kg (5,512 lb) load, so for milling alone the two are one size of machine. What this model's table adds is the turning rows. It does not say how the 800 rpm and the 2,500 kg (5,512 lb) combine. Spinning a table for turning with a part near the load limit is a different duty from 5-axis positioning, so ask Hermle for the permitted load and speed in turning mode before planning large turned parts.
Spindle speed is a choice of 9,000, 14,000 or 18,000 rpm. The collision circle is Ø 1400 mm (55.1 in), table clearance is max. 1,100 mm (43.3 in), and the machine base is mineral cast.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Turning rows are listed: a continuous 360 degrees C-axis with up to 800 rpm for turning
- Table load of 2,500 kg (5,512 lb), more than the 2,000 kg (4,409 lb) of the C 52 U MT
- Workpieces up to Ø 1200 × H 900 mm (Ø 47.2 × H 35.4 in) turned and milled in one clamping
- Travels and table match the C 62 U, so adding turning does not shrink the milling envelope on the listed figures
- Collision circle of Ø 1400 mm (55.1 in) leaves a margin around the Ø 1200 mm workpiece for clamping
Limitations
- Rapid traverse of 50 m/min is slower than the 60 m/min the C 52 U MT lists on X, Y and Z
- Nothing in the table says what load or diameter the 800 rpm turning speed applies to
- Spindle power, torque and taper, tool magazine capacity and control are all absent from the listed rows
- Spindle options end at 18,000 rpm, while the C 42 U MT GEN2 lists options up to 42,000 rpm

Frequently Asked Questions
01
A C-axis that rotates continuously through 360 degrees, with up to 800 rpm for turning. The part is carried on the Ø 1350 × 1100 mm (Ø 53.1 × 43.3 in) swivelling rotary table. The table of figures gives no torque for the turning drive and no load limit specific to turning, so request both.
02
On size, it is not. The C 62 U lists the same 1,200 mm (47.2 in), 1,300 mm (51.2 in) and 900 mm (35.4 in) travels, the same 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. The difference in the C 62 U MT table is the C-axis row with up to 800 rpm for turning.
03
The C 52 U MT is a size smaller, with 1,000 mm (39.4 in), 1,100 mm (43.3 in) and 750 mm (29.5 in) of travel and 2,000 kg (4,409 lb) of table load, and it is faster at X 60, Y 60, Z 60 m/min. The C 62 U MT gives more room in every axis and carries 2,500 kg (5,512 lb) at 50 m/min. Spindle speed options are the same on both.
04
9,000, 14,000 or 18,000 rpm. Hermle's table for this model gives no power, torque or taper for any of the three, and no tool magazine capacity either. Those are the first things to ask for, since turning tools and milling cutters share the same spindle interface and magazine.
