Increase Productivity and Profitability ince 1968, Hurco has been focused on developing technology
that simplifies manufacturing processes in order to help shops increase their productivity and profitability. The introduction of the TMXMYSi mill turn lathes is another example of Hurco’s commitment to manufacture CNC machine tools that make shops more profitable by developing control technology that is easy to learn and easy to use. The TMX8MYSi supports the “done in one” philosophy that saves time and preserves accuracy. The intuitive interface of the TMX8MYSi Hurco control simplifies the mill turn process with Advanced Verification Graphics and straightforward programming. For example, to use the Y axis for axial and radial machining operations such as holes and contours, you simply check a box. Additionally, the Advanced Verification Graphics let you see more tool- path information, especially inside the part because you can view the rendered part as a quarter or half cut-away with semi-transparency. Each peck level can be optionally displayed to see as much detail as you need: choose from single step view and next tool change view.
