HURCO COMPANIES HM1700RI HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Hurco HM1700Ri is a three-axis horizontal machining center engineered for maximum efficiency and precision in large-capacity production environments. Featuring a generously sized table measuring 65 by 33 inches with a maximum workpiece capacity of 6,614 lbs, this machine accommodates substantial components. The horizontally oriented spindle operates at a peak speed of 8,000 rpm with 35.4 horsepower and utilizes a CAT 50 taper for tooling compatibility. The machine delivers impressive rapid traverse rates of 787 inches per minute across all three linear axes, with X, Y, and Z travels of 67, 47, and 35 inches respectively, enabling efficient material removal and rapid positioning. The automatic tool changer holds 30 tools, minimizing changeover time and enhancing production throughput. An 800mm full B-axis rotary table provides 360-degree rotation capability, facilitating complex multi-sided machining operations without manual repositioning. The rigid frame design, validated through Finite Element Analysis, optimizes structural integrity and thermal characteristics to maintain precision during high-velocity operations. The Hurco control system includes 4GB RAM, a 128GB solid-state drive, and 10,000 block lookahead capability with UltiMotion technology to reduce cycle times. Pre-tensioned dual ballscrews and advanced frame engineering ensure enhanced rigidity and accuracy across diverse manufacturing applications, from aerospace components to industrial equipment production.
