Three Common Misconceptions about Five-Axis Machining
“It’s too expensive.” “It takes too much training or skilled labor.” “It’s more complex than I need.” These three refrains are often cited as reasons to not to invest in machines capable of 5-axis milling, but are they valid concerns? Let’s take a closer look at these common myths and get some insights from current Hermle owners about how 5-axis machines are making a positive impact on their businesses.

Flexibility squared – The RS 1 robot system
The RS 1 robot system is the complete combination cell for pallet and workpiece automation. This Hermle innovation delivers a convincing mix of flexibility and productivity: The rack storage concept provides for remarkably long autonomous runtimes, gripper and adapter changing is automatic, and the fully functional setup station allows for parallel setup of pallets and workpiece carriers during operation. This makes the RS 1 the right automation solution for many scenarios.

Mill-turn technology for more efficient flying
Complex geometries, highly durable materials and uninterrupted process monitoring are decisive factors for safety and progress in manufacturing. Hermle's response to the demanding challenges involved in producing rotationally symmetrical engine components such as blisks is represented by the mill-turn variants of its High-Performance machining centres.
Additive machining at supersonic speed
The new machining centre MPA 42 is powerful and precise but it is not for sale. When it comes to additive manufacturing, Hermle acts as a service provider.
Hermle USA has invested USD 3 million to extend its US headquarters
Hermle USA, Inc. announced the completion of the three million dollar building extension project. This doubled the size of the North American headquarters in Franklin, Wisconsin and included refurbishment of the existing building. The expansion represents a clear sign from the German machine tool manufacturer that it is willing to raise its profile to provide even better levels of support to the growing North American customer base.
Perfection in automation
22 years ago, Hermle started developing its own automation solutions for its 5-axis machining centres. Much has changed since then: The focus is no longer on reducing setting up times, but rather on even longer automated production runs. And digitalization is generating further impulses of its own. Hermle's basic philosophy, however, remains the same: One provider for a complete package – from the initial draft for a plant through to servicing beyond the guarantee period.
Handling system HS flex heavy - the Hermle automation solution with up to 1200 kg of transport weight
The rotary, lifting and linear axes of the handling unit enable precise movement of the heavy workpieces up to 1200 kg, including the pallet, between the setup station, storage modules and the machining centre’s working area. With crane loading of machining centres, workpieces with even higher weight and dimensions can be moved into the machine working area.
New, ultra-modern sheet metal production facility at its installation location in Zimmern o.R.
The groundbreaking ceremony on 5 November 2019 marked the beginning of building work on Maschinenfabrik Berthold Hermle AG’s new, ultra-modern sheet metal production facility complete with office complex. Hermle AG has been manufacturing its mineral casting beds and various other components at the Inkom-Südwest industrial and commercial estate in Zimmern o.R. since 2016. A new production facility with an office complex and a connecting building (cold hall) is now being constructed on the four-hectare site.

Additive manufacturing in toolmaking and mould making
In a joint workshop, Hermle and Trumpf gave a demonstration of how to plan, make and deploy additively manufactured components in toolmaking and mould making
Hermle sent three C 42 U, five-axis machining centres with automation capability to the USA
Hermle machining centres make for intelligent fabrication of metal components. They are used in high-end sectors such as aerospace, medical technology, mechanical and precision engineering, to name just a few. The machines, that themselves achieve tolerances below 10 µm for milling and turning (a human hair has a diameter of around 70 µm), must also be given precision treatment when they are transported. So most Hermle machines are transported either by means of vehicles with air suspension or by sea. Sometimes, though, time is of the essence and the machines must be moved very quickly.
UMATI – to simplify your connectivity
The new interface will provide our customers with a simple means of integration in IT ecosystems. The semantic structure provides the basis for the manufacturer-independent plug & play networking of machine tools and could emerge as the machine tool industry standard in future.

Hermle presents the latest trends in mechanical engineering at its Open House
For four days, Maschinenfabrik Berthold Hermle AG once again opened the doors to its traditional Open House. Over 1000 companies and 2300 visitors, including 900 international guests, had the opportunity to obtain a comprehensive picture of products, automation solutions, digitisation, Industry 4.0 solutions and Hermle services, such as Service Competence, Generative Manufacturing and the Hermle User College.
“Sailing boat” project – MPA technology and better milling
Additive machining with MPA technology and better milling all rolled into one. To give an impressive and somewhat striking example for a component produced by both additive manufacture and subsequent machining to shape it, a sailing boat with a number of special features was presented by Hermle AG at the house exhibition 2019.
“Fritz the Bull” and “Ben the Bear”
After the bull "Fritz" already caused a sensation at the IMTS and numerous visitors had their photo snapped next to the spectacularly presented animal, “Fritz” now has a buddy: the bear "Ben". They make a great pair, because together they are the symbol of the ups and downs on the stock exchange. This will make them a perfect eye-catcher for Hermle as a stock corporation in the Hermle showroom in the future.
Hermle introduces another digital component
The digital transformation is now becoming the focus of many different production operations. Hermle is there to provide support while you chart your individual course towards Industry 4.0 and the smart factory. We offer a wide range of software solutions for improving your efficiency, precision and productivity, with our digital components representing links in the smarter production chain.
With the RS 05-2, Hermle presents the 2nd generation of its compact robot system
Since the first compact robot system was developed by Hermle-Leibinger Systemtechnik GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Maschinenfabrik Berthold Hermle AG, customer expectations and the multiplicity of the applications have increased enormously. Not only that the RS 05 robot system should be compatible with a broader range of machine models – the requests for individual storage solutions have consistently driven the system's further development. Many different installations bear witness to successful automation solutions in the range of workpieces up to 10 kg.

Technology meets tradition. Industry meeting at the Hermle Open House
The performance capabilities and possible application areas of Hermle machining centres were demonstrated in a clear and impressive manner through interesting examples of machining. For example, a 90 kg solid block of non-machined aluminium was transformed into a delicate 2 kg replica of the Eiffel Tower using an array of very complex milling strategies.
Swabian tradition meets high tech from various industries

What is CNC? Hermle explains.
What do a Spartan helmet, a mould for Swabian dumplings and a carnival mask have in common? The answer is that they are all parts that we have milled at Hermle using CNC.
Additive manufacturing at HERMLE
Additive manufacturing – otherwise known as 3D printing. MPA is HERMLE's specially developed additive manufacturing process.
New machine model C 650
The Hermle company has developed the C 650 to extend its Performance Line series with a major step upwards, and now provides three machine models for economical 3 and 5 axis machining. The Performance Line is positioned below the High Performance Line consisting of models C 12, C 22, C 32, C 42, C 52 and C 62, and it very nearly matches their performance capabilities. The only differences are to be found in the accessory diversity, the price and of course the naming.
