Gedee weiler offers the hermle 5-axis machining centre. It has a modified gantry design with a multifunctional machine bed. The machine is highly reliable and useful for precision machining. Components weighing up to 1,400 kg can be conveniently machined using five axes. The machine has a high degree of freedom in the working area, allowing the operator to work with ease. The machine has high positioning and long-term accuracy. The collision protection of the spindle unit is a patented one. The spindle speeds for the machine vary from 16,000 to 40,000 rpm. The machine has a mineral-casting base in order to have very low thermal conductivity. Linear scale on the machine provides absolute machining. The three staggered guideways on y-axis is a patented design, and provides excellent rigidity. The machine has rapids up to 60 m/min. With short positioning, approaching times and high acceleration rate up to 10 m/sec, production time is very 10w.The machine is widely used in tool and die making, medical engineering, aerospace, automobiles and general engineering.
