What is Universal Rotary

​The Universal Rotary program type is designed to operate on any 4- or 5-axis Hurco machine - regardless of the axis configuration. 

The control will make the necessary movements based on the axes that it has available.

This means that Universal Rotary programs can be shared between many machines in the shop, and allows the operator to use whichever machine is available at the time…not just the machine that the program was run on previously.
