Hurco’s 5-Axis Vertical/Swivel head grabs eyeballs at IMTEX 2015
US-based Hurco, a leader in the CNC machine tool technology has featured its iconic 5-Axis Vertical/Swivel head at South-East Asia’s leading machine tool exhibition and conference IMTEX 2015 in Bangalore. The SR 5-Axis boasts of rigid, reliable iron due to rigorous manufacturing standards like hand-scraped frame mounting points and wedge clamped linear rails with double reinforcement as load requires.
The machine design is capable of providing excellent versatility. Adding to this, the C-axis table has unlimited angular movement and the stout table has the tenacity to handle heavy loads. It has also been efficiently designed with ergonomic details such as extra-large, hinged side doors, extra-big front door opening and tables that move all the way forward.
Benefits of 5-Axis Vertical/Swivel:
- Unlimited angular movement of C-axis table reduces cycle time.
- Competitive machines are oft en limited to +/- 360 degrees, which requires the table to unwind multiple times during the cycle.
- Stout table accommodates increased table load for heavier parts. Many competitive machines drop off at 750-800 pounds.
- Versatility. Extra-large table supports secondary operations or 3-axis work.
- Flush rotary table (SRT only) is embedded, which supports taller parts due to more than 3.5 additional inches of clearance in Z.
- Improved chip control with ability to run the machine horizontally.
- Maximum tool access for swept surfaces and complex contours due to the configuration of the 5-axis SR machining centers.
- Larger linear rails mounted to a machined shoulder for increased rigidity.
- Integral spindle equipped with ceramic bearings.
- LED lighting shines brighter and saves energy.
- Yaskawa Sigma 5 drives.
Since 1968, Hurco has focused on developing machine tool technology that makes machine shops more profitable.
