HURCO BX40UI HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Hurco BX40Ui is a 5-axis double-column horizontal machining center designed for high-speed precision machining with exceptional rigidity and flexibility. It features an X-axis travel of 37.4", Y-axis travel of 21.6", and Z-axis travel of 19.7", allowing for versatile part machining within a compact footprint. The machine is powered by a 47 hp spindle motor capable of reaching up to 18,000 RPM, utilizing an HSK 63A tool taper for high-speed tool changes and accuracy. The tool changer has a capacity of 30 tools, supporting efficient production runs and complex operations. The machine’s double-column ladder structure with oversized linear guide rollers ensures extreme rigidity and stability, isolating the bridge structure from part weight to maintain consistent precision. It is equipped with Hurco’s proprietary CNC control with WinMax® software, supporting multiple programming methods including conversational, NC simultaneous 5-axis, and NC/Conversational merge for optimized productivity. The BX40Ui offers rapid traverse rates of up to 1,535 inches per minute on all axes and can handle a maximum table load of approximately 551 lbs. At 124" in height and weighing over 20,000 lbs, it integrates advanced high-speed motion technology called UltiMotion® that reduces cycle times by up to 30% while delivering superior surface finish and tight tolerances. This robust machine is ideal for demanding applications requiring high accuracy, flexibility, and productivity, particularly in die mold, aerospace, and other precision engineering sectors.
