Schütz GmbH, a medium-sized service provider for CAD/CAM, prototype and machining technology, has relied on the performance of Hermle CNC machining centres from the very beginning
When a creative and competent employee with abundant knowhow is feeling insufficiently challenged in his professional environment, or hemmed in in terms of what he would like to accomplish, the only way open is to strike out independently. This is the starting point of many success stories and one of them is about a typical medium-sized technology company, Schütz GmbH, located in the Bavarian town of Wiesenfelden Germany 94344. Reinhard Schütz, former frustrated employee with abundant knowhow and now owner of a company with 20 specialised employees, came to the conclusion near the end of the last century that he was stuck in a rut, unable to evolve as he should. So he took the risk and with little capital but a lot of (realistically tempered!) enthusiasm, he started a company working in everything related to CAD/CAM applications, manufacturing of prototypes, building devices and injection-moulded model tools as well as complete machining of challenging individual parts and small series. Not much has actually changed since then until the present day, although the earlier requirements of 3 and 4-axis machining, considered technologically sophisticated at the time, have now been far exceeded by today's challenges in terms of integrated 5-axis complete/simultaneous machining. Driven and inspired by the basic concept of always offering customers comprehensive services in design, programming and manufacturing technologies aligned to the latest technologies, Schütz decided from the beginning to enter into close collaboration with the "best" in terms of machine tools and other equipment as well.

the working area of the C 22 U with the NC swivelling rotary table 450 mm in diameter and machine vice clamped on. The machine concept with two axes in the workpiece and three axes in the tool allows for optimum tool angulations during complex 5-axis/5-sided complete/simultaneous machining in just one or a few clampings
