We provide bespoke engineering solutions including prototyping and tool and mould
production for a number of industry sectors including aerospace, automotive and the medical
and pharmaceutical sector. The introduction of the C250 is a great addition to our workshop
and enables us to extend our capabilities to include 5 axis machining, alongside our 3 axis
machining capabilities.

Hermle machines offer a wealth of capability and there are a number of reasons which made
this a good investment for us.

Mechanical Precision
The dimensional accuracy of the milled parts is essential to ensure that the products we
design and manufacture function effectively. Hermle machines boast the highest levels of
mechanical precision and are put through intensive performance tests before being sold
which gave us confidence in their ability to meet our needs.

Reliability
Hermle machines are reliable, with minimal interruptions even on long runs. This is an
important consideration for any team as downtime is costly.

Long-term Accuracy
Production cycles can run over long periods and we will produce millions of items from the
same machine over time. Accuracy needs to be maintained over time for quality assurance.
Hermle machining centres not only meet, but often exceed standards laid out in DIN/ISO
10791.

5-Axis Benchmark
5-axis machining is beneficial for milling complex components where both speed and
precision are required. Hermle machines offer great agility due to three of the axes being in
the tool itself and the other two in the swivelling rotary table. This enables milling and turning
to take place at the same time, which reduces the need for retooling or moving components
to another machine. Anything that can save us time, saves money and helps us to stay on
track to meet the tight deadlines we often work to.

Good Customer Service
Hermle are recognised for their excellent customer service, whether in providing
maintenance plans, spare parts or user training. This gives us great reassurance, particularly
given the large investment we’ve made to purchase the machine and partner with them to
maintain it.

We’ll soon be putting the Hermle C250 to the test!

Operating to an ISO 13485:2016 QMS will maintain the effectiveness of our processes. It ensures the consistent design, development, production, installation, and delivery of medical devices that are safe for their intended purpose, demonstrating a commitment to the safety and quality of medical devices.

This superb, highly productive machine enables us to tackle more work in ‘one hit’ improving throughput and enhancing product quality.

The machine is equipped with a powerful milling drive, together with a high-speed, high-accuracy C-axis and 82mm stroke Y-Axis that ensures accurate, finished parts and eliminates deburring, milling, drilling and repositioning of fixtures.

Certification to ISO 9001:2015 is an absolute necessity for us, because it gives our customers the peace of mind to know that their product is manufactured in a controlled environment where the following of procedures ensures that their finished item arrives on time, and exactly as they would expect to receive it.
