The VM10Ui5-axis machining center uses an integrated trunnion table providing more clearance in Z compared to adding a trunnion table on a 3-axis machining center to turn it into a 5-axis machine.
Complete integration of ProCobots into the Hurco control eliminates daunting robot programming, making it easier to optimize operation through automation. With quick installation and changeover (less than 5 minutes), and high flexibility, ProCobots automation increases production for high-mix manufacturing.
Equipped on the machine is HURCO’s powerful, intuitive conversational programming, invented by the company’s co-founder, the late Gerald Roch. However, even machine shops that use G-code and rely on CAD/CAM software have found increased productivity by leveraging the versatility of the control. These shops often use NC for complex parts, but use conversational programming for one-offs, simple 2D work, and fixturing.
