Hurco to Demonstrate 5-axis Technology at imX

The Hurco 5-axis VMX30U and VMX42SR machining centers are designed with specific control technology to increase profitability for shops of all sizes.

While the control features robust NC capabilities required for simultaneous 5-axis, such as full FANUC compatibility, a 40 GB capacity hard drive, 2 GB of RAM, USB port, up to 2,277 bps processing speed, and 600ipm maximum programmable feed rate, Hurco conversational programming makes converting to 5-sided machining straightforward, intuitive, and user friendly, which means minimal training.

In fact, the majority of 5-axis machines in the USA are used for 5-sided machining to reduce setup time and eliminate the typical flipping of parts that is required on 3-axis machining centers. Not only do customers increase the profit margin per part, they increase accuracy when they switch from 3-axis to 5-sided machining on a 5-axis machining center.

Hurco is so certain of the benefits of converting from 3-axis to 5-sided, they sponsored an educational website, www.FiveAxisMachining.com.

At imX, attendees will get one-on-one attention from applications engineers and sales engineers so they can calculate how quickly their investment in Hurco technology will pay for itself.
