Control Designed for Maximum Usability



The Hurco MAX5 control console powered by WinMax software is now available on all Hurco CNC machines.

The Hurco MAX5 control features a keypad that is adjustable up to 90°, a 19" LCD screen with touchscreen navigation and resolution of 1,280 x 1,024, ergonomic features and a second folding auxiliary screen.

The verification graphics screen has been redesigned so the machinist can switch between three different views: full screen verification graphics, large digital readout (DRO) with mini graphics or large graphics with mini DRO. Additionally, the new Quick Menu minimizes multiple button presses so the machinist can instantly access the information needed.

The Hurco MAX5 control has three remote jog options: standard, LCD and LCD wireless. The LCD units allow the machinist to set up tools and parts right from the remote jog unit. All jog units feature a large 70 mm hand wheel with finger cup spinner, graspable over molded body, integrated flashlight, magnetic base and T-slot tongue.

One of the new WinMax software features of the MAX 5 control is AdaptiPath, a conversational pocketing feature used in high-end CAD/CAM packages that is designed to increase metal removal rates, support rest machining, reduce cycle time and extend tool life due to controlled engagement cutting. AdaptiPath creates a smooth tool path motion, controls chip load, provides constant tool engagement and also includes rest machining. With rest machining, larger diameter tools can be used to efficiently remove material, followed by a rest machining pass that uses a smaller cutter to access the areas of the feature that the larger tool could not access. The faster material removal reduces cycle time, especially for pocketing applications.

The Hurco MAX5 is also equipped with features designed to benefit NC shops, such as the new Job List feature that lets users group files together and run them sequentially without operator intervention. Job List promotes automation, lights-out machining, program stitching, file bundling and adaptive processes.
