Hermle machining centers bring precision in 5-axis manufacturing to medical equipment OEMs and their suppliers. Hermle’s experience with medical equipment manufacturers extends back many years. Some of the first Hermle machines imported into the United States were used in R&D labs, and we still maintain a presence in the development of prototype applications with both manufacturers and medical research institutions,” said Robert Komljenovic, President of Hermle Machine Company. Hermle’s C series product line now extends from the compact C 20 for applications in the nominal 450 mm cube to the large C 60 with 2,500 kg capacity in the nominal 1,200mmcube incorporating mineral cast bases (GGG20 iron in the C 60), with Hermle’s patented gantry design, multiple cable configurations and automation capability. Hermle’s C seriesmachines are capable of manufacturing such medical applications as parts, implants, appliances and instruments in the small- to medium-size range to large-scale components used in scanning and tomography. “Because many of the applications involving implants and appliances are complex in their configuration and constructed from advanced hard-tomachine alloys, Hermle machines are designed to produce the part profile and the desired finish,” saidMr. Komljenovic. Awide range of options, including toolmagazine capacity, pallet changing and advanced control capability, assist manufacturers and suppliers in turning out multiple parts. “A further advantage involves Hermle’s capabilities in hard machining and moldmaking. When we think ofmedical applications, the first things that come to mind are typically parts machined from metal. Many other instances, however, involve the creation ofmolds for plastic and synthetic components. Our extensive experience in 5- axis moldmaking enables us to assist customers in selecting the correct machine and advising them in the development of the most effective programs,” said Mr. Komljenovic For more information contact: Hermle Machine Company Division of Berthold Hermle AG 5100 West Franklin Drive Franklin, WI 53132 414-421-9770 info@hermlemachine.com www.hermlemachine.com NM Greg Whelan Arizona CNC Equipment, LLC 1235 South 48th Street, Suite 1 Tempe, AZ 85281 480-615-6353 gwhelan@arizonacnc.com OK M.
