New Features Added to Control Software



Hurco has announced that all of the new "i" series Hurco machines will include the integrated Hurco control with WinMax9 software.

According to the company, new features of the WinMax9 include:

  • DXF scaling: Lets the machine operator scale DXF drawings to actual size - no need to go back to the CAD system or redraw them.
  • FastDraw graphics engine: The new engine within the Hurco control that runs the verification graphics is almost seven times faster.
  • Font magnification (NC only): Lets the machine operator increase the size of any installed font for easier reading.
  • Mill frame with enhanced corner geometry: Lets the machine operator define the type of corner, the angle, the length and/or the radius.
  • Multiple options to store tool probing results: Lets the machine operator store results in the conversational field, G-code length/radius offset tables or both.
  • Program edit lockout: Gives the shop owner or foreman complete control to set the level of access for programs and parameters, including full lockout or partial lockout.
  • Roughing stock allowance: Lets the machine operator specify stock allowance with or without a finishing operation. If the Z finish allowance is zero, only the walls will be finished.
  • Stick lettering: Mill letters and numbers in quick tool centerline tool path. Orient the letters at any angle and wrap about a cylinder.
  • Tool life management: Messages appear in real time when a tool has reached its maximum cutting time.
  • UltiMotion: Patented motion control system designed to simultaneously reduce cycle time by more than 30 percent and improve surface finish quality.
  • TrueType fonts along a contour: Lets the machine operator specify a contour to which the lettering blocks will be swept along.
  • WinMax desktop complete: Has the ability to simulate both the single screen and the dual screen control. Simulates multiple machine modes, including Dry Run, Auto Run, Manual Mode and Recovery Restart.
  • Z offset shift: Lets the machine operator shift the Z offset without modifying the original Part Z Work Coordinate setting.
