Original Press Release:
Hurco Introduces Massive Machining Center
INDIANAPOLIS-Hurco Companies, Inc., announced the launch of its biggest vertical machining center ever-the VMX84. With X/Y/Z Axis travels of 84/34/30 inches, this massive machining center broadens the company's product line to meet the needs of customers who produce large parts, molds, and dies. VMX84 customers can choose from spindles speeds of 10K, 12K, or 15K.
All VMX Series machines from Hurco are known for their sturdy construction and exceptional accuracy due to larger ball screws and bigger servo drives. The increased metal removal rates and higher feed rates on the VMX machines decrease part cycle times significantly. Like every Hurco machine, the VMX84 features the most flexible control in the industry.
The flexible Hurco control combined with the newly released WinMax® control software provides the highest level of shop floor flexibility and software productivity for both G-Code and conversational users. Hurco customers using WinMax® will experience measurable process improvements due to 25 new features including Advanced Verification Graphics with 3D solid rendering, dynamic rotation, and real time tool display; Swept Surface; and NC/Conversational Merge. The new WinMax® control software also includes hundreds of enhancements that streamline programming, such as reduced keystrokes, touch screen navigation, an intuitive visual interface, and project management/file naming improvements.
