5-axis milling machine HERMLE C650 U GEN2 - A strategic technological renewal

In its ongoing commitment to improving the quality, productivity, and versatility of its machining operations, KARL HUGO is expanding its machine park with a new 5-axis milling machine: the HERMLE C650 U GEN2.

Whether in the fields of mechanical engineering, precision mechanics, medical technologies, energy production, aerospace, automotive, tool and mold making, the C 650 GEN2 is perfectly suited for a wide range of milling operations.

Precision and performance

This milling machine represents one of the latest technological advancements in simultaneous 5-axis machining. Designed to meet the demands of cutting-edge industries, it stands out for its dynamics and ability to machine complex parts with extreme precision. Its rapid traverse speed reaches up to 35 m/min.

The C650 GEN2 enables the machining of parts within a volume of 1050 x 900 x 600 mm. It ensures enhanced reliability and maximum availability. This is a crucial asset for KARL HUGO, as this machine plays a central role in the production of, among other things, components used in the construction of particle accelerators.

A touchscreen revolution serving operators

This milling machine is equipped with the latest-generation TNC 7 numerical control system from HEIDENHAIN. Touchscreen interface, enhanced visualization, and ergonomic design - everything has been conceived to facilitate the operator’s work. While the programming logic remains close to previous generations, a dedicated training course provided by HERMLE enables the team to quickly take ownership of this evolution.

Innovation, a lever for competitiveness

Shorter manufacturing lead times, increased repeatability, optimized design. Whether for prototypes, high-precision single parts, or technical series production, this machine strengthens the company's competitiveness and responsiveness.

With the HERMLE C650 U GEN2, KARL HUGO reinforces its position as a preferred partner for complex, high-value-added machining. This investment is fully aligned with a dynamic of continuous innovation, serving the ambitions of its most demanding clients.
