During the recent UK MACH 2008 show, Hurco Europe recruited a professional dancer, actress and singer to learn and to demonstrate the programming of machine cutting paths.
These massive machines, each weighing around 20 tonnes, are designed to accommodate large and/or heavy components up to six tonnes in weight, such as dies, moulds and parts for the aerospace and energy sectors.
The fixed-rail, bridge design of the DXC22 offers X-/Y-/Z-axis travels of 2197/1750/249mm with 24m/min rapid feeds, a 2100 x 1600mm pallet and a 40-taper spindle with 18kW of peak power.
CNC turning centres are easy to program
CNC lathes will off 12 drivel tool stations - at up to 7kW and 5,000 rev/min - in its VDI turrets for milling operations and off-centre drilling on turned parts.
Vertical machining centre cuts tough alloys
Rugged vertical machining centre with an 18kW high-torque spindle and through-tool coolant delivery enables a UK subcontractor to efficiently cut SS and Duplex, as well as other tough alloys.
Machining centre turns and mills biker parts
BFO Motorcycles in the UK plans to build 100 motor cycle conversion kits and to mill the components, the company acquired a vertical machining centre with an easily programmable control.
It can be used for continuous pendulum machining of parts within two 762 x 660 x 610mm working envelopes, or production of single parts up to 2m long spanning both zones.
This combination of performance and flexibility is ideal for shops that have a mixed schedule of parts, said Hurco.
