The automation of HERMLE machining centres and milling machines has a long tradition at HERMLE. What began with the simplest automation and handling solutions was already transferred to a separate subsidiary HLS HERMLE Systemtechnik GmbH in the mid-nineties, whose focus is on robotics and turnkey projects. Whether pallet changers, pallet storage, additional magazines, handling systems, robot systems or complex turnkey projects, HERMLE offers you the optimal solution for the automation of HERMLE products – and all this from a single source, even in the event of service.


Why automation? Mankind has alway been very inventive when it comes to making work easier, avoiding hard and monotonous work and improving productivity. Now the main aims are to increase production times and decrease idle times and downtimes.
The better this can be achieved, the lower the machine-hour rate and the lower the personnel costs, meaning altogether lower capital commitment. Especially in times of staff shortages in the high-qualification areas, automation provides an alternative to manned triple-shift operations.
