Hurco machines with UltiNet connect to an Ethernet network (both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps) using standard Internet protocols.

Many so-called network-enabled machines in the industry are “drip fed.” That means a little bit of data is transferred to the machine at a time, and then discarded. Should anything occur, like a broken tool, the entire program must start over. The best way to avoid “data starvation” is to have a legitimate, high-speed data link straight into the machine’s hard drive. That’s precisely what Hurco’s UltiNet does.

Hurco also supports wireless connectivity. UltiNet is available for both mills and lathes.
