Horizontal CNC Machin- ing Center for Maximum Efficiency
—Hurco
The Hurco HM1700Ri (XYZ travels: 67” x 47” x 35”) horizon- tal milling machine is designed for maximum efficiency and is equipped
with pre-tensioned, dual ballscrews for increased rigidity. The large, front and side access doors allow for easy op- erator use. It is fully equipped with an 8,000 RPM motorized spindle and suit- able for a wide range of applications.
The HM1700Ri is also equipped with a direct drive B-axis torque table. “With fast rapids, large work cube and unique frame design, the HM1700Ri allows complex production parts to be machined efficiently and accurately,” said a company spokesperson.
The Hurco HM1700Ri is equipped with the Hurco control powered by WinMax software and the patented motion system called UltiMotion. “The control helps machinists and job shops be more productive and profitable by supporting many programming meth-
ods: conversational programming; NC programming; and a Hurco-specific feature called NC/Conversational Merge that optimizes efficiency even further,” said the spokesperson. The Hurco control’s technical specifica- tions include 4 GB RAM, 128 GB solid state drive and 10,000 block look-ahead.
“UltiMotion reduces cycle time and improves surface finish quality by determining the optimal trajectory to run the tool and providing consis- tent programmed feedrates,” said the spokesperson. “With up to 10,000 blocks of dynamic variable look-ahead, UltiMotion is smart enough to adapt as required by the tool paths. Hurco equips UltiMotion on all Hurco CNC machining centers and it works auto- matically without any set-up required.”
