ntroduction to the C-U Series by Hermle

The C-U Series from Hermle is a high-performance 5-axis CNC machine series, designed to handle high-precision, high-speed, and highly flexible machining tasks. With rigid structure and advanced control systems (Heidenhain & Siemens), the C-U Series is the ideal choice for aerospace, mold manufacturing, medical, and automotive industries.

Key Models in the C-U Series:

•C12U – Compact model for ultra-precise machining.

•C22U – Larger size, ideal for versatile machining applications.

•C32U – High-performance machine for industrial needs.

•C42U – Powerful and efficient for batch production and mold manufacturing.

•C52U – Extended travel range for larger workpieces.

•C62U – The largest model, supporting high-precision machining for heavy industries.

Why Do You Need a Custom Post Processor for C-U Series?

The C-U Series utilizes Heidenhain and Siemens Controls, requiring a customized post processor to fully optimize its 5-axis machining capabilities. A well-optimized post processor will:

•Optimize toolpaths, reducing programming and machining time.

•Ensure accurate G-code generation, preventing syntax errors and coordinate mismatches.

• Fully support advanced functionalities, including Plane Spatial/Cycle800, TCP (M128/TRAORI), and high-speed machining (Cycle32/Cycle832).

Standard post processors often lack comprehensive support for these features, requiring manual NC code modifications, increasing error risks, and reducing production efficiency.
