The Hurco BX40Ui 5-axis CNC double-column machining center, with trunnion table mounted along the Y-axis, is engineered to provide an optimum combination of performance and flexibility. The ladder structure and double-column design provide enhanced rigidity and support to the head casting. With an 18k motorized spindle and oversized linear guide rollers, the BX40Ui is designed for a wide range of applications. Additionally, the bridge structure is isolated from part weight and operates in a stable and predictable manner. "High cutting feedrates are achieved with patented high-speed motion technology, called UltiMotion, that simultaneously reduces cycle times by up to 30% or more and delivers outstanding surface finish quality," said a company spokesperson.
"The BX40Ui differs from other bridge-type 5-axis CNC machines due to the integrated Hurco control powered by WinMax control software and UltiMotion," continued the spokesperson. "The control helps machinists and job shops be more productive and profitable by supporting multiple programming methods: conversational for 5-sided programming with no CAM system needed; NC for simultaneous 5-axis; and a Hurco-specific feature called NC/Conversational Merge that optimizes efficiency even further." The newest control feature, called 3D Import, is especially advantageous for Hurco 5-axis machines because the control software creates Transform Planes automatically for easy 5-sided conversational programming that eliminates data entry requirements.
"UltiMotion is the sophisticated motion control system invented by Hurco that determines the optimal trajectory to run the tool, provides consistent programmed feedrates and reduces cycle time," said the spokesperson. "With UltiMotion, cornering velocity is 2.5x faster than conventional motion and machine jerk is reduced by half. UltiMotion includes up to 10,000 blocks of dynamic look ahead and is smart enough to adapt as required by the toolpath. UltiMotion is different than the smoothing features offered by CAD/CAM software and improves upon CAM output by providing better handling of the machine mechanics and dynamics." All Hurco CNC machining centers are equipped with UltiMotion.
