VT 200 Shaft-Turning Center

Shaft manufacturing is a core function in automotive production. While in recent years drive and transmission shafts were the focus of production planners, the success of e-mobility also increases the demand for productive rotor shaft manufacturing. Therefore, there is a need for a manufacturing solution that is able to machine a great variety of components. All these components have one thing in common: large unit volumes and very high-quality requirements. After all, the efficiency of the entire drive train depends on the quality and functionality of the shafts. The vertical 4-axis shaft turning machines of the VT series are ideal for this task. When it comes to machining components with a maximum length of 630 millimeters and a maximum diameter of 200 millimeters, the machine is able to make full use of its qualities.

MC Molds: 'We're making chips in a matter of minutes'

Jordan Wade, a machinist at MC Molds, says Hurco's 3D Import feature “blows his mind” in regards to its ability to generate the program or the cutter path so easily when he just picks a surface.

Intended to help shops challenged by the job skills gap, 3D Import reportedly helps shops be more productive and profitable because it’s easy to learn, easy to use, and supports multiple programming methods: conversational programming; NC programming; and NC/Conversational Merge.
