1 - 2 Machine Components 704-0212-209 VM Series Maintenance and Safety Manual
Overview
Before using the machine, you should become familiar with its components. Because of
European Committee (CE) requirements, Hurco machines sold in Europe may differ from
those sold elsewhere. The location of some components may differ on different models.
Hurco machines are available with several hardware and software options.
Hurco machines use microprocessor-based, computer numerical control (CNC) digital
control systems. Part programs are entered in either Conversational or Conventional NC
(G-Code) format.
The machining centers described in this manual have a vertical spindle with
programmable spindle speeds, multiple axes, and a multi-tool Automatic Tool Changer
(ATC). Options are available to accommodate various machining applications.
Closed loop servo drive systems and motors with rotary encoders power the mechanical
drives that position the axes. The rotary encoders provide positioning feedback
information to the control. Limit switches mounted on each axis determine end-of-travel
and establish reference points for initial machine zeros.
The control positions an axis by sending a command to the appropriate servo drive,
which in turn supplies voltage to the axis servomotor.
Refer to the Parts Listing and Wiring Diagrams Manual for mechanical and electrical
component drawings for your machine.
Information about options is available from Hurco or your Hurco
full-service distributor.
Specification measurements are supplied in metric and English.
Machine linear positioning accuracy was set at the factory, in an
ambient temperature of 68º F (20º C). Continual operation at
higher or lower temperatures may require that you re-
compensate the linear positioning accuracy.
Optimum machine performance is reliant upon installation
conditions being within Hurco’s recommended specifications
(power supply, air supply, ambient air conditions, etc.).
