Hurco VTXU meets the demands of complex 5-Axis machining for the medical industry
Press Release
 

INDIANAPOLISThe Hurco VTXU machining center is ideal for 5-axis precision machining of complex, multi-sided parts where reduced setup time and overall part accuracy are critical. The VTXU can be used for a variety of medical applications that require extraordinary accuracy for machining complex shapes. For example, the VTXU is used to produce complex, 5-sided components used in medical imaging devices, retinal scanning systems, ophthalmology devices, and dermatology systems.

The traveling column of the Hurco VTXU provides the speed, precision and power required for advanced machining processes. Compared to typical vertical machining centers with a C-frame design concept, the VTXU is capable of much higher contour machining rates and provides superior surface finish capability. The VTXU is a valuable 5-Axis machining center that reduces the production cost per part by minimizing setup and programming time.

The Hurco VTXU includes many standard features that are typically offered as options on most other vertical machining center brands.

  • Only one part setup with 5-Sided conversational programming.
  • Compatible with most 5-axis CAM programs
  • Handles complex, 5-sided, swept surface, etc., parts
  • Traveling column design with heavy capacity, integrated trunnion table uses Hurco motion control for exceptional accuracy
  • Dual screen control system for displaying active graphics
  • User-friendly, ergonomic control console
  • Thermal Stabilization Package for Head
  • Coolant Through the Spindle up to 300 psi
  • High Pressure 1000 psi Coolant System Available
