With the pallet changer PW 3000, Hermle advances to new weight and workpiece dimensions in the automation of its 5-axis machining centers.
Unique machine concept
The C 50 and C 60 provide users in all industries with the advantages of mega machining centers that can machine workpieces of up to 2000 or 2500 kg in five axes.
High-tech spindles with high torque or speed ensure dynamics in a new dimension. In line with requests for even more possible applications, these massive-performance machines are also available in milling-turning variants.
More room for maneuvering - automatically
The PW 3000 pallet changer, comprising three modules, is used to automate the C 50 U / MT and C 60 U / MT systems.
The base module consists of the travel, lifting and rotary axes, as well as a safety enclosure with hinged doors, and ensures that the pallets containing the workpieces are brought in and out smoothly.
The setup station module with a rotating door enables the pallets to be set up in parallel to production time. In addition, the one or two-layer rack module can accommodate up to 8 pallets.
Especially practical: The PW 3000 pallet changer can also be extended and linked to two machining centers.
Technical details of the C 50 U / MT - C 60 U / MT
- 5-axis / 5-side machining in one clamping setup
- Extremely wide swiveling range of the A axis for complex machining processes
- Optimum crane loading thanks to wide door openings
- High running, positioning and long-term accuracy
- Automatic tool change by the pick-up method
- Small space requirement thanks to compact construction format relative to the support surface
- Machine transported complete and no foundation required
