Control software improves efficiency whileoffering improved surface finish

Hurco will introduce WinMax Control Software, specifically designed to slash setup time and improve surface finish. The new WinMax Control Software has numerous new, patented features, and will be standard on all Hurco vertical and turning machines.

Packed with more than 25 new software features, the addition of WinMax Control Software to Hurco's product line will help improve efficiency and productivity while offering an easy to use platform running off of Windows technology.

The new software includes features such as Swept Surface, NC/ Conversational Merge, Select Surface Finish Quality, and Advanced Verification Graphics with Solid 3-D Rendering. Swept Surface benefits moldmakers in particular because it offers a simplified approach to programming and machining complex 3-D parts.

NC/Conversational Merge enables popular conversational features, such as tool and part probing. With Select Surface Finish Quality, the machinist controls the part quality and run time by adjusting an onscreen slider bar. This feature automatically adjusts program throughput to meet the surface finish quality requirements.

Additionally, Hurco WinMax Control Software includes an upgrade to the flat panel screens on the machines with dual-screen controls. With the release of WinMax, both screens will support touch-screen navigation. Hurco will also be displaying their newest 5-axis machining center, to be equipped with Win- Max software at the show.
