Visitors will have the opportunity to interact with more than twenty machine models in various configurations and with complementary equipment from high-tech industries to demonstrate the vast range of capabilities provided by Hermle products.

FRANKLIN, WI (April 16, 2019) - Hermle AG will welcome over 1,000 companies and 3,000 visitors from across the globe to its annual Global Open House event in Gosheim, Germany from May 8-11, 2019.

Visitors will have the opportunity to interact with more than twenty machine models in various configurations and with complementary equipment from high-tech industries to demonstrate the vast range of capabilities provided by Hermle products.

The 2019 Open House will also be the debut of Hermle's new robot system, the RS 05-2. This second generation of the RS 05 can be adapted frontally (C 250, C 400 und C 32) or laterally (C 12 and C 22) to the Hermle machining centers. With a footprint of roughly 21 ft², the robot system is extremely compact. The system can be equipped with a large variety of different storage modules according to individual needs or requirements.

"Every year we look forward to our Global Open House event in Germany because it's our chance to put our best technology on display to people from every corner of the world," says Manuel Merkt, President and Chief Operations Officer of Hermle USA. "Our industry is evolving so rapidly but we truly feel Hermle has stayed ahead of the curve with our advancements and constantly improving capabilities of our machining centers."

Another highlight of the show is the special exhibit that will take place with more than fifty well-known exhibitors from the fields of clamping technology, CAD/CAM, measuring technology, tool technology and control technology. With a rotating schedule of expert lectures each day, visitors will have the opportunity to discover emerging trends in state-of-the-art machining.

Digitization and Industry 4.0 are also increasingly becoming the focus of attention industry-wide. Hermle has planned demonstrations to show how this digital challenge is met with numerous products, such as the digital modules, the new intuitive user interface "Navigator" or the Home screen, which machine operators can use to create their own user interface.
