Hermle Showcases C 62 U MT Gen2 Five-Axis Mill-Turn Center for High-Precision Manufacturing!
At IMTS 2026, Hermle USA Inc. is presenting the C 62 U MT Gen2, a high-performance five-axis mill-turn machining center engineered to deliver exceptional precision, productivity and flexibility for the machining of large, complex components. Designed to meet the demanding requirements of industries such as aerospace, energy and heavy engineering, the C 62 U MT Gen2 combines advanced milling and turning capabilities within a single machine platform, enabling manufacturers to complete intricate machining operations with greater accuracy while reducing setup time and improving overall production efficiency.
The C 62 U MT Gen2 is specifically developed to handle large and heavy workpieces while maintaining the high levels of precision expected in advanced manufacturing environments. The machine offers generous traverse paths of 1,200 × 1,300 × 900 mm, allowing it to accommodate a wide variety of large components used in aerospace structures, energy equipment and heavy industrial machinery. Its robust 1,350 mm swivelling rotary table supports workpieces weighing up to 2,500 kg, providing manufacturers with the flexibility to machine complex parts in a single setup while minimizing repositioning and improving dimensional accuracy.
Performance is further enhanced through a high-speed spindle capable of reaching speeds of up to 18,000 rpm, enabling efficient machining of a wide range of materials. Combined with rapid traverse rates of 50 metres per minute, the machine delivers high material removal rates while maintaining superior surface finish quality and machining precision. These capabilities allow manufacturers to reduce production cycle times without compromising component quality, making the machine particularly well suited for high-value applications where both productivity and accuracy are critical.
A key feature of the C 62 U MT Gen2 is its robust mineral casting machine structure, which provides excellent vibration damping and thermal stability during demanding machining operations. This advanced construction enhances long-term machining accuracy, improves surface finish quality and contributes to extended machine life. Complementing the machine’s structural rigidity is an efficient chip management system that ensures reliable chip evacuation, helping maintain stable cutting conditions and reducing machine downtime during extended production runs.
To accommodate varying customer preferences and manufacturing environments, the C 62 U MT Gen2 supports both the Heidenhain TNC7 and Siemens Sinumerik One CNC control platforms. These advanced control systems provide powerful programming capabilities, intuitive operator interfaces and seamless integration with digital manufacturing workflows. Manufacturers can therefore select the control architecture that best aligns with their existing production systems while benefiting from advanced machining functions and Industry 4.0 connectivity.
The machine is also designed to support highly automated production environments through compatibility with Hermle’s PW 3000 pallet changing system and the company’s complete HACS (Hermle Automation Control System) and HIMS (Hermle Information Monitoring System) automation suite. These automation solutions enable unattended machining, efficient pallet handling and real-time production monitoring, allowing manufacturers to increase spindle utilization, improve productivity and support lights-out manufacturing strategies.
In addition to its machining capabilities, Hermle has simplified machine installation and deployment. The C 62 U MT Gen2 can be transported without disassembly and installed without the need for a dedicated foundation, significantly reducing installation time and associated infrastructure costs. This practical design allows manufacturers to integrate the machine into existing production facilities with minimal disruption while accelerating the commissioning process.
By combining advanced five-axis milling and turning technology, high-speed machining performance, robust machine construction and comprehensive automation compatibility, the Hermle C 62 U MT Gen2 offers manufacturers a powerful solution for producing complex, high-precision components. Its ability to machine large workpieces with exceptional accuracy, efficiency and reliability makes it an ideal choice for aerospace, energy and heavy-industry applications where productivity, flexibility and consistent quality are essential.
