3D IMPORT3D Import includes two important features for programming 3D DXF and Solid Model Import.
SOLID MODEL IMPORTWith Solid Model Import you can take a customer's 3D solid model (.stp file) and import it into the control. Solid Model Import is extremely powerful because it automatically creates the conversational data blocks directly from the selections that are made on the solid model or DXF file, and no data entry is required.
For all Hurco CNC machines, the ability to import stp files and select specific features to be machined significantly increases productivity. For example, if you select the floor of a pocket, and then identify the top of the pocket. The pocket depth will automatically be pulled from the model. Then you just pick a tool, verify your speeds and feeds, and you're ready to start making chips.
Benefits » Simplifies programming. Saves time. Preserves accuracy.
» No need to enter feature dimensions – simply click and cut
» Go from solid model to finished part in record time.
3D DXF3D DXF displays all the geometry the CAD system outputs, including splines. For example, you can select the bottom of a contour, and the cutting geometry and Z-axis depths will be automatically input into the conversational block.

AUTOCALCOur AutoCalc is a prime example of how advanced technology should work: technology should work for you, not against you.
With advanced algorithms running in the background, simply enter the dimensions you know and the control figures out the rest.
PATTERN BLOCKSThe multiple pattern blocks are central to the ease of programming that conversational provides. Patterns include loop rotate, loop linear, loop angular, pattern locations, scale, and mirror image.
Why Hurco? Our Mirror Image is the best in the industry. For example when you climb mill the original shape and mirror image the other half, the tool will continue climb milling around the other half.
CONTROL FEATURES MILL: CONVERSATIONAL
LINES AND ARCSThe Lines and Arcs feature illustrates how well our control simplifies complexity. Program any complex contour using Lines and Arcs without the need to trig out missing data.

CONVERSATIONAL PART PROBINGWhy spend 30 minutes aligning your part to the machine when you can spend 30 seconds aligning the machine to the part with Hurco's conversational part probing?
Setup is easy because the probe finds the part and determines its position on the table, including the skew angle, which means you don't need to align the part to the machine.
CONVERSATIONAL TOOL PROBINGHurco' s tool probing routines make tool setup faster and more accurate. The probing routines reduce setup time by intuitively helping you set the tool length and diameter.
Why Hurco? We make it incredibly easy...no complex NC macros to master and edit, just common sense conversational data blocks.
CONTROL FEATURES MILL: CONVERSATIONAL
SWEPT SURFACECreates complex surfaces within one conversational block once you define a 2D surface and sweep that surface along a contour.
Benefits:
» Reduces programming time.
» Optimizes the tool path and achieves exceptional surface finish with user-defined step-overs and direction of cut.
» Improved surface finish quality due to continuous tool path.

AUTO INTERRUPT CYCLENo need to teach the control the path the tool takes when retracting and returning to the part – the Hurco control does it for you.
When you press the Interrupt button, the spindle stops cutting, the coolant shuts off, and the tool automatically retracts to Z home. You can jog the machine in any direction to check the part or change tool inserts. Then, simply press two buttons and the cycle automatically resumes right where it left off–at the speed you choose.WATCH THE

RELATIVE POSITION DRO (DIGITAL READOUT)Description: The Relative Position DRO gives you the power and flexibility to display the data that is relevant. Different circumstances call for different data to be displayed. Therefore, the DRO screen that is visible can be selected by the operator by pressing one of the three tabs at the top of the graphics screen. The DRO display also has a “relative” display that can be zeroed-out whenever needed by simply touching one button.

MULTIPLE PROBING RESULTSWhen probing tools, the operator chooses where the results are stored: on the Tool Setup page, in the Tool Length and Diameter Table, or BOTH.
Benefits » Peace of mind to know the results are being
utilized where necessary and for any programming convention (Conversational or NC).
» Speed
» Efficiency (Eliminates Redundancy)
TOOL LIFE MANAGEMENTThe ability to manage tools by either tolerance or cut time is a real benefit for long running parts or for lights-out machining.
If a tool is determined to be “defective” because it has reached the end of its machining life, you simply program a sister-tool to automatically take its place whenever the original tool is called in the program. The sister-tool can also be managed by time or tolerance, and have its own sister-tool if needed.
CONTROL FEATURES MILL: OPERATIONAL
RECOVERY RESTARTAfter stopping a cycle, Mid-Program Restart makes it easy to restart where you left off. You can change a broken tool without the typical frustration because you can get right back to the correct point in the program (no need to add additional code or cut air).
