Debuting with the C 650, C 32, and C 42, GEN2 brings integration, efficiency, and lights-out performance for the next generation of machinists and manufacturers.
During the next five months, every HERMLE model will transition to this new platform – engineered for automation, sustainability, and spindle uptime. While the technology has advanced, the foundation remains the same. The mechanical design delivering precision and long-term accuracy is unchanged.HERMLE overhauled the electrical architecture of the GEN2 machines, updating hardware and software to meet the demands of future-ready manufacturing. Key upgrades include a new ProfiNet communication bus, IO-Link-compatible sensors, and the latest generation of drive converters on Heidenhain models. These changes boost performance, enhance diagnostics, and ensure long-term adaptability with advanced interface technology and service tools.
Customers can now consolidate multiple setups, capabilities, and machines into a single, fully integrated platform – saving time, labor, and floor space while improving throughput and quality.
Processes are brought together in the new HERMLE Technology Component – a single part featuring 13 advanced machining technologies, all completed in one machine, under one setup.
GEN2 models will also feature the ZM 30, HERMLE’s new ultra-compact tool magazine. It adds 30 additional tools while occupying nearly 50% less space than traditional magazines – an easy rear retrofit for shops looking to expand tool capacity without expanding their footprint.
