Proven in the most challenging application environments, LK’s CA- MIO8 software continues to be the CMM software choice for many of the world’s largest manufacturers. By leveraging the productivity benefits of CAMIO8, manufacturers can focus on accelerating lead times and improving product quality while reducing costs. Camio8’s interoperability across CMM platforms, sensor technology and manufacturing sites, is a unique advantage. Hurco Expands BXi Line for IMTS Hurco has added two new models to the BXi CNC machine series as part of the company’s 50th Anniversary exhibition at IMTS: the BX50i (XYZ Travels 37.4” x 53.2” x 23.6”) and BX60i (XYZ Travels 52.1” x 63” x 27.6”). The rigidity and thermal stabil- ity of the double-column design and the overall weight of the machines provide exceptional accuracy and outstanding surface finish capabilities. Designed with the mold and aero- space industries in mind, the BXi machines meet the needs of any high speed machining application that re- quires tighter tolerances. The BXi Series utilizes a double- column design – minimizing machine distortion and thermal deformation. The ladder design of the BX50i bridge provides maximum support to the head casting; and the spindle center line is closer to the supporting structure, al- lowing increased rigidity. The BX50i is equipped with a Hurco control powered by WinMax® control software and the patented mo- IMTS 2018 Preview September 10-14 2018 See us at IMTS Booth #133222
