Overview
The Hermle C 62 U MT is the mill-turn variant of Hermle's largest 5-axis platform, combining full simultaneous 5-axis milling with integrated turning capability on the C-axis table. This machine is built for shops that need to complete the largest and most complex parts in a single setup — aerospace structural components, landing gear fittings, turbine casings, and large energy sector parts.
X/Y/Z travels are a generous 1,200 x 1,300 x 900 mm (47.2 x 51.2 x 35.4 in) with a trunnion table rated for 2,500 kg (5,512 lb). The C-axis table spins up to 800 rpm for turning operations via a direct-drive torque motor. The table dimensions of 1,350 x 1,100 mm with a collision circle of 1,400 mm handle the largest workpieces in Hermle's lineup. The A-axis provides +/- 130 degrees of swivel for maximum access during combined operations.
Spindle options include 9,000, 14,000, and 18,000 rpm on HSK-A63 with 29 kW (39 hp) continuous power. Rapid traverse is 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) on all linear axes. The 60-tool standard magazine expands to 325 positions. Positioning accuracy is +/- 0.005 mm with repeatability of +/- 0.003 mm.
The mineral-cast base weighs approximately 26,000 kg, providing the mass and damping needed for both heavy milling and turning forces at this scale. Control options include Heidenhain TNC 640 or Siemens 840D sl with full mill-turn programming support.
New pricing starts around $1,250,000 and climbs past $1,800,000 fully configured. The C 62 U MT is the pinnacle of Hermle's mill-turn technology for the largest workpieces.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Complete 5-axis mill-turn in one setup on the largest Hermle platform available
- 2,500 kg table capacity handles the heaviest aerospace and energy sector workpieces
- 900 mm Z-travel provides exceptional depth for deep-cavity mill-turn operations
- 800 rpm C-axis turning with direct-drive torque motor delivers excellent surface finish
- 325-tool magazine option handles the most complex multi-operation programs
- 26,000 kg mineral-cast base provides outstanding vibration damping for combined forces
Limitations
- Price tag exceeds $1.25 million — this is a flagship investment for the largest parts only
- 26,000 kg machine weight requires significant foundation engineering and overhead clearance
- 800 rpm turning does not match dedicated heavy-duty lathes for pure turning work
- Hermle service network is smaller than DMG Mori or Mazak at this machine scale

Frequently Asked Questions
01
New machines start around $1,250,000 and can exceed $1,800,000 fully loaded with high-speed spindle, 325-tool magazine, and automation. Used machines are extremely rare on the secondary market.
02
The C 62 U MT offers 200 mm more X, 200 mm more Y, 150 mm more Z, 500 kg more table capacity, and a much larger collision circle. It is approximately $300,000-$400,000 more expensive.
03
The MT version adds 800 rpm turning capability via a high-speed direct-drive C-axis motor. The base machine geometry, travels, and accuracy specifications are shared between both variants.
04
Yes. Hermle RS 2 and RS 4 pallet handling systems are available for large and heavy workpieces. The HACS automation control system manages multi-pallet scheduling and MES integration.
