HURCO Powerful easy to use software

Programming simplicity will be Hurco’s theme for Southern Manufacturing 2022 and the company will be showcasing the latest software available on its proprietary Max5 control. The 19-inch, colour, touch-screen control is traditionally popular due to the ease with which a first-off part can be programmed. 

One demonstration will be the latest Solid Model Import option, capable of reducing programming times even further. Whereas previously only 2D DXF files could be loaded directly into the control to create conversational data blocks, now it is possible to import 3D STEP files including surfaces. For machining 5-sided parts, transform plane commands are calculated automatically.

Two of Hurco’s best-selling machines will be on the stand. One will be the versatile Hurco VM10i machining centre, sharing equal prominence will be a Hurco TM6i XP 2-axis CNC lathe.
