SRT Series - 5-Axis CNC Machines

5-Axis CNC Machines That Offer Maximum Flexibility

The SRTi series of 5-axis CNC machines offers multiple advantages, starting with the machine's design configuration that utilizes a swivel head and a C-axis rotary torque table that is embedded in the machine table and flush with the surface. The generous size the machine table provides maximum versatility because you can use the extra table space for secondary operations or 3-axis CNC work. This configuration is also available in an SW model that utilizes the swivel head, traditional machine table, and an add-on A-axis rotary.

Benefits of the SRT 5-Axis CNC Machine

The design of the swivel head 5-axis CNC machine makes the SRT the best choice for certain applications.

Versatility. Since the rotary torque table is embedded within the generous machine table, you can use the extra table space for secondary operations or 3-axis work.

Heavier Parts. Because the table is always flat and doesn’t tilt, the SRT 5-axis CNC machines swivel head and rotary table design are typically preferred to the trunnion style 5th axis machines when machining heavier parts. Because all of the weight is transferred down to the leveling pads and fully supported by the foundation of the machine.

Unlimited angular movement of the C axis. With a swivel head/rotary table 5-axis CNC machine, it is extremely important to make sure the table (C axis) supports the unlimited angular movement. For example, if you are machining down a steep wall and going around the part, the table needs to rotate in a continuous motion. If the C-axis is limited to +360 / -360 degrees of motion, it will literally need to unwind at regular intervals to machine the part. Conversely, the tables on the Hurco SRT 5-axis CNC machines are built with unlimited and continuous rotation because our focus from design to delivery is to maximize productivity and profitability for our customers.

Benefit from Our 50+ Years of Experience

Since 1968, Hurco has continually focused on the development of technology that yields measurable productivity improvements for our customers. Our years of experience provide us the knowledge to build rigid and reliable 5 Axis CNC mill machines with the most powerfully simplistic, user-friendly control technology in the industry. Our experience has also allowed us to implement a unique business model within the machine tool industry that expands our global supply chain, manufacturing, and distribution capabilities. This proven system benefits our customers because we are able to ship our 5-axis machine tools with shorter lead times than most competitors. Additionally, we are able to continue product development schedules and targeted technology growth even during difficult economic cycles because our efficiency promotes financial stability.

We OWN 5-Axis CNC + 5 Sided CNC Machining

At Hurco, we are immersed in 5-axis CNC technology. We have carved out a niche in this arena because we made a commitment decades ago to dedicate our R&D resources to 5-axis CNC and 5 sided CNC. We determined this type of machining center, combined with the capabilities of our CNC control, would make our customers more profitable. Similar to the transition from manual mills to CNC mills, we know the transition from 3-axis to a 5 sided CNC machining process is imperative for our customers to increase their profit margin on existing parts.

If you do NOT OWN a 5-axis CNC mill, the most important message you need to know: If you are machining features on multiple sides of the same part on a 3-axis mill, then you are already doing 5 sided CNC machining...just manually. 5 sided CNC machining on a 5-axis CNC machine will reduce setup times, increase the profit margin of the parts you are producing on your 3 axis CNC machining centers. The Hurco control makes programming easy for 5-sided---NO CAM needed!

Hurco machinist Mike Cope was so passionate about the need to educate shops about the transition to 5 sided machining and the capabilities of 5-axis CNC machines, he wrote a book about it.
