With a working envelope of 850 x 700 x 500 mm and a table capacity of 1,400kg, the machine has increased the scope of work that CA Models can undertake.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Outcome<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nOften, the Hermle is used in continuous 5-axis mode for milling complex 3D surfaces. For the remainder of the time, 3-axis cutting with two axes positioned and clamped allows 5-face machining in a single set-up. The machine shop at CA Models in Stirling also includes 3-axis milling, die-sinking and wire erosion capabilities, supported by nine seats of Delcam and four seats of design\/modelling software.<\/p>\n<p>The company decided in favour of the Hermle due to its reputation as the &#8216;Kilimanjaro&#8217; of 5-axis machines in terms of precision, speed and reliability. A vast range of constantly evolving materials, from plastics and composites to aluminium, brass, copper and steels, including stainless, and also exotic alloys, are machined to tolerances of within 5 microns without any problem.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The machine is at home in all fields, be it tool and mould making, medical, engineering, aerospace, motorsport, or oil and gas. We purchased the dynamic version of the C 40 U with 60 m\/min linear rapids and a 55 rpm trunnion, so it is highly productive as well and a valuable asset for us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:
