GHM edia B usiness |Article| Company’s computer control system enables a machine tool operator to create two-dimensional or three- dimensional (3D) machining programs from an engineering drawing or computer-aided design geometry file. In addition, WinMax has a Windows- based operating system. Its offering of machining centers, equipped with either a twin touch-screen console or a single touch-screen console, consists of the product lines, such as VM(General Purpose Vertical Milling) Product Line, VMX(Performance Vertical Milling) Product Line, BX(Bridge Type Vertical Milling) Product line, Five-Axis Product Line, HS(High Speed) Product Line, HMX(Horizontal Milling) Product Line, HBMX(Horizontal Boring- mill) Product Line, TM/TMM(General Turning & Turnmill ) Product Line, TMX(Performance Turning & Turn- mill with Y-axis) Product Line and DCX(Double Column Vertical Milling) Product Line which enables users to improve shop floor flexibility and productivity. Double-Column Machining Center, BX Series BX40i is designed for high precision 29 | may-june 2019 application for Die & mould, Tool Room and Aerospace segments. The machine is of Bridge structure with bigger Y axis stroke. X / Y / Z stroke are 1020 / 700 / 500. A bigger Y axis stroke is always an advantage in machining of multi cavity moulds and square moulds. The machine is with integral spindle with chiller unit. The 35 KW spindle with 18000 rpm speed and 119 Nm torque gives customer a free hand to machine a job from roughing to finishing in one setup. The chip conveyor, linear scale on all 3 axis, spindle chiller, panel cooler, CTS are standard on this machine to ensure best performance. VMX42 SRTi- Swivel head/ rotary machine designed for high mix manufacturing. Hurco is one of the few machine tool companies in the world who are having all types of 5 axis machines with proven track record. Hurco 5 axis technology is the most popular and appreciated machine model is VMX42SRTi. This is a most versatile machine as compare to other five axis machine available in market. It comes with a Tilting spindle Global MDA Journal and submerged rotary table of Dia. 600 mm and total bed size 1270 mm x 610 mm. Both the tilting spindle and rotary table is with high performance Torque motor with chiller unit. The 36 KW integral spindle with 12000 rpm speed and 118 Nm torque can ensure high performance machining of all types of material. It can serve various industries like die & mould, aerospace and general engineering. It can be used as 3 axis, 4 axis and 5 axis simultaneous depending on application. It has a work envelope of 1270 mm x 610 mm x 610 mm which allows customer to machine bigger and complex jobs which are not possible on other five axis machines due to a small work envelope and weight carrying capacity. We request you to follow the link http://www.HurcoCanHelp.com which will give more clarity on the advantage of using Hurco controller. The machine is equipped with worlds’ most preferred and user friendly controller Max 5 powered with WINMAX software. Max-5 controller comes with the latest technology available in the market and having lots of advance features like superior motion & jerk control with the help of patented software Ultimotion, 4GB Program Memory,128GB machine Memory, latest high speed Processor of 0.44mS, 3D simulation graphics, Interrupt function, variable Look-ahead function of 10,000 blocks. The tool path generation by Conversational & NC Mode or both – enables the end user to reduce the end to end processing time. It has capability of ‘rationalizing’ the tool path – enables high speed machining with exceptional control of acceleration & deceleration of the machine slides resulting in reduced machining time, increases surface finish & accuracy. The controller is compatible for IOT and has many optional software to cover wide range of applications. www.hurco.com Global MDA Journal
