Hurco Machining Centers

Vertical Machining Centers	Some machine tool companies want you to think there's really little difference between machine tool brands. Hurco can't disagree more. The important thing is to understand the real differences and select the equipment that is best for your operation. Hurco's differences are very pronounced, though not all are obvious at first glance. The Hurco control allows shops to choose the most efficient way to program parts for each job. It is flexible and powerful primarily because of its simplicity. That?s also why Hurco offers such an intelligent breadth of machining centers. Each series has its own well-defined place in the market. Chances are, you'll find just what you need in one of Hurco's 12 machining center models.

Horizontal Machining Centers	The HTX500 is challenging conventional wisdom that Hurcos are only for the small job shops. These horizontal machining centers routinely match the performance of machines costing twice as much. The unique traveling column provides the speed and precision required for advanced machining processes, but compared to other, typical vertical machining center with a similar design concept, the HTX is capable of much higher contour machining rates with superior surface finishes. Equipped with high-speed microprocessors, huge RAM and hard drive memories, the Hurco control easily links 2D, 3D and multi-sided machining programs with its CAM compatibility.

5-Axis Machining Centers	The SR 5-axis machines tackle complex, multi-sided parts with a B-axis swivel head and C-axis rotary table design. The Hurco SR machines include a special version of WinMax® control software that streamlines setup and simplifies programming for complex parts. While some brands simply stick a trunnion table on a 3-axis VMC and call it a 5-axis machine, the Hurco U series machines are designed to be true 5-axis machines. If you have 5-axis positioning work on complex multi-sided parts where overall accuracy and reduced setup time are critical, you need a Hurco 5-Axis U Series machining center.

One site. One subject. One goal. 5-Axis Education -
FiveAxisMachining.com covers machining, programming, workholding, and explains how 5-axis technology can make job shops more profitable. The site was developed to educate businesses about the benefits of 5-sided machining on a 5-axis machining center. Converting from a 3-axis machining center to a 5-axis machining for 5-sided machining reduces setup time, provides cost savings, and increases accuracy. The website contains information originally developed by applications engineers with links to relevant articles from multiple sources. In addition to 5-axis content, www.fiveaxismachining.com has a dedicated email and telephone line to directly access applications engineers. The website is powered by Hurco, but focuses on the overall advantages and challenges of 5-axis machining instead of limiting content to specific Hurco products.
Hurco Machining Centers (VM, VMX, HTX, VTXU) - Hurco offers a wide variety of machining centers for any application or budget including the VM and VMX series. In addition, Hurco offers horizontal (HTX500) and 5-axis (VTXU) machines with the same powerful, versatile Hurco control.
Hurco WinMax Controls - The control system comes in two basic formats, with single or dual-screen display. Either way, it's the same underlying software. With the interactive graphics, simply touch the portion of the part you want to edit and the control takes you right to the corresponding portion of code – whether you’re using conversational or NC programming.
Hurco Turning Centers (TM6, TM8, TMM8 Live Tooling, TM10, TMM10 Live Tooling) - The Hurco TM line of CNC slant-bed turning centers has a similar footprint to the VM line of vertical machining centers. Not only are these machines powerful and rugged, they also utilize the same control found on Hurco machining centers, allowing you to choose the best way to make a part: shop-floor conversational, NC Code, offline CAM programming or by importing DXF files from CAD systems.

Debut of 14 new machines drew IMTS visitors to Hurco booth

Debut of 14 new machines drew IMTS visitors to Hurco booth

Provided By Hurco Companies, Inc.

Hurco celebrated its 40th Anniversary by introducing an unprecedented number of new machines at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) in Chicago last month. Although IMTS was two days shorter than previous years, overall attendance was up, with 1,900 people checking in at the Hurco booth this year compared to 1,800 at IMTS 2006. The new 5-axis machines and the large machining centers drew the most attention at the Hurco booth. The VM10U was the spotlight 5-axis machine. It caught the attention of many machinists and owners who had previously considered 5-axis to be too expensive or too complex for their shop. The demonstrations illustrated the significant productivity gains achieved with 5-sided machining and how Hurco control technology simplifies the transition from three axes to five. In total, Hurco showcased six 5-axis machines and four of those were new to the Hurco lineup?the VMX60SR, BX30U, VMX30U, and the aforementioned VM10U. In addition to the demonstrations at the 31 machines, Hurco conducted one-on-one demonstrations of WinMax®, the software that powers the integrated control on all Hurco machine tools. ?I was particularly impressed with the positive feedback from the people who had never been exposed to our control technology and participated in the WinMax® demonstrations. For me, it confirmed that there is a real thirst for relevant technology that provides measurable productivity benefits. All of us at Hurco take pride in continually developing technology that makes machinists more productive and shop owners more profitable. IMTS was the perfect venue to debut our 14 new machines and numerous technology benefits as we celebrated the 40th anniversary of Hurco,? said Jim Fabris, President and COO of Hurco Companies, Inc. In addition to 5-axis machines, large machines were popular with customers who visited the Hurco booth. Customers who make parts for the energy sector, such as mining equipment and oil field pumps, were especially interested in the new dual column 2-meterDCX22 machining center. The new VTXZ dual zone machining center generated a great deal of interest from job shops who want the flexibility to expand the size of parts and molds they produce. The VTXZ gives job shops the advantage of flexible manufacturing and increased productivity. As a dual zone machine, the operator can set up in one zone while parts are being cut in the other zone. When the shop gets a job for large structural parts or molds, they can remove the partition and use the full zone (X/Y/Z travels of 80x26x24). Hurco also introduced five new VM machines, the TMX line of high performance lathes, and two new services scheduled to launch next year: Extended Shop Floor and Hurco Online Tooling. Extended Shop Floor lets shop owners manage their business 24/7 from any location because it is a web based utility. IMTS visitors who watched the demonstration saw firsthand how Hurco technology bridges the gap between the business owner, the machine, and the operator. The benefits of Extended Shop Floor include remote monitoring, remote diagnostics, and remote communication.
