Since it was founded in 1968, Hurco Companies, Inc. has maintained the same mission – to provide unique, innovative software and CNC controls that help our customers maximize productivity through reduced setup time and multi-tasking on the shop floor. We pioneered the use of interactive graphical computer control systems that automate shop floor processes with the introduction of the groundbreaking UltiMax® CNC control.
The award winning UltiMax control is hailed as the ultimate in power and maximum in simplicity. Combining PC technology with large memory capacity and state-of-the-art graphical software, we’re able to provide our customer’s with distinct advantages. This innovative approach to using technology has resulted in Hurco acquiring numerous patents and we continually strive to attain even more patents to improve our customers’ productivity. We’ve also established a highly capable, strong design of the machine tool based on finite element analysis (FEA) technology, and other software modeling tools to design, enhance and provide customers with the best combination of the control, software and machining system.
Helping Customers Compete in a Global Market
Our customers have historically provided components and services within the automotive, aerospace, medical equipment, energy, injection tool and molding, transportation and computer equipment industries. Recent global pressures have dramatically impacted these traditional markets. Hurco is responding to our customers’ need to compete in a true global market because their success depends on their ability to quickly adapt to new environments. In such a dynamic and shifting industry, diversity and flexibility are critical elements for our customers to provide value added machining services to their customers.
Our control, software and machining systems provides customers with these attributes which help them operate at maximum levels of efficiency without adding overhead and other non-value added expenses.
We provide customers the ability to eliminate process steps leading to, and during the machining process. Our control, software and machine design are driven by our customers’ success under the highest competitive positions. We will continue to work with customers to identify even greater process efficiencies, understanding that our success is dependent upon our customers’ success.
Shop-Floor Software Automation for Seamless Integration of Machining Systems
Hurco’s UltiMax control software is the best knowledge-based graphical control system in the world. It provides customers the ability to seamlessly integrate the machining system into their manufacturing process. As a component of the overall system, our customers can identify and optimize process steps to create a unique multi-tasking advantage over traditional machining processes and their competitors. Hurco’s open architecture approach to software gives us the ability to integrate “best in class” features and benefits from our highly technical collaborative partners.
The PC-based control platform provides the customer the advantages of being on the technological curve. Some of the key benefits of the PC-based system include:
-
The ability to easily integrate our control and machine into our customers internal network system.
-
The Windows-based platform eliminates traditional data stream and program storage capacity problems and provides the ability to apply the highest level of real-time interactive graphics on the control.
The flexibility of the knowledge-based software and retention database capabilities allows Hurco customers to operate and apply unique process optimization to traditional NC files with graphical editing capabilities.
