HURCO HM1700I HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Hurco HM1700i Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance CNC milling machine engineered for maximum efficiency and precision in demanding production environments. Featuring a robust solid cast iron frame and linear roller guideways on all three axes, the HM1700i delivers exceptional rigidity and accuracy for complex machining tasks. The machine offers generous travel dimensions of 67 x 51 x 35 inches (1,700 x 1,300 x 900 mm) on the X, Y, and Z axes, paired with a large 67 x 36 inch (1,700 x 914 mm) table capable of supporting up to 4,410 lbs (2,000 kg), making it ideal for large and heavy workpieces. Its 8,000 rpm motorized, liquid-cooled spindle ensures consistent performance and extended tool life, while the pre-tensioned dual ballscrews enhance stability and minimize thermal growth. The HM1700i is equipped with a continuous B-axis rotary table, providing versatile 4-axis capabilities for intricate part geometries. Rapid traverse rates reach 1,181 ipm on the X and Z axes and 787 ipm on the Y axis, enabling fast cycle times and high throughput. The machine integrates Hurco’s UltiMotion technology for optimized motion control, resulting in superior surface finishes and accurate positioning. Large front and side access doors facilitate easy setup and operation, improving operator efficiency. The HM1700i supports both conversational WinMax Mill programming and industry-standard NC code, offering flexibility for various machining needs. With its advanced design, high torque output, and reliable construction, the Hurco HM1700i is a powerful solution for complex, high-volume production applications.
