2000 HURCO HAWK 5M VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2000 Hurco HAWK 5M is a 3-axis vertical machining center from Hurco's HAWK series, a compact, entry-level platform designed for small-to-medium component machining in job shop, toolroom, and light production environments. The HAWK 5M features axis travels of approximately 20 inches in X, 15 inches in Y, and 15 inches in Z, providing a practical machining envelope for precision components that do not require the larger travels of the BMC or VM series. The spindle is rated at 10 HP and reaches a maximum speed of 8,000 RPM through a CAT40 taper, delivering sufficient power and speed range for milling, drilling, boring, and tapping in steel, aluminum, and engineering plastics. The compact spindle and modest horsepower rating make the HAWK 5M well suited to small-batch precision work, prototype machining, and toolroom applications where fine surface finish and dimensional accuracy take priority over bulk material removal. The 2000 HAWK 5M is equipped with Hurco's WinMax conversational CNC control, supporting both conversational and G-code programming at the machine, a touchscreen interface, DXF file import, and integrated toolpath simulation. Standard equipment includes an automatic tool changer for multi-operation unattended machining sequences. Machine weight is approximately 5,500 pounds, providing a stable platform relative to its footprint while remaining manageable in facilities with limited floor load capacity. The compact footprint of the HAWK 5M makes it an attractive option for shops with constrained floor space or facilities requiring multiple smaller machining centers rather than fewer large-format machines. The HAWK 5M is well suited to secondary operations, toolroom work, and small-part production where precision and versatility are valued.
