Hurco Converting MM to Inches

Hurco Converting MM to Inches, they say in life it’s the little things that matter. Well it’s an interesting thought. Doesn’t bode well with the bank manager when you only have 10 quid in your account but then that’s another story.

Anyway here is a little thing about a Hurco control that is really useful. One of the things I always teach my pupils, or victims as they are sometimes called is this.

Always let the computer do the simple maths, us humans are basically shit at maths especially when we do it in our heads. So when the CNC Control offers to help out, let it do it.

Above I am creating a tool and it’s a 3/16 inch endmill. First of all I’m going to change to inches. I click that little button MM down the bottom there.

Yes MM that’s little beast.

Hurco Converting MM to Inches, you will now get a warning

Imagine it’s the wife and just ignore it, well say YES, you know like you always do.

Your display will now turn to inches by complete magic. Your ok this is not a F****, the control is not about to simultaneously destruct.

Everything just went to inches. So exciting, I mean really it’s no big deal but if you are used to other controls then I’m afraid it fuckin is a big deal.

Now just type in 3/16 and press ENTER

Guess what it came up with 0.1875 wow wow wow.

Just one other thing, Press the INCH button, and it goes back to MM.

And it’s back to MM

Hurco Converting MM to Inches

Soooo 3/16 of an inch is 4.762 mm

Hurco Converting MM to Inches, no brain power used.

Now all you old school types are saying “when I was a boy we didn’t have calculators. I say “shut the Fuck up cos now we do”

Listen folks in my school we only had one fuckin abacus and that was kept in a vault and only got it out on a bank holiday.

The point of this is that you don’t make any silly mistakes.

Use for every calculation plus, minus, divide everything.

If you have been offended in anyway by this article please accept my appologies as I’m in a foul mood. The dog has shit in my sandwich box again.

To be honest it’s a bit like your children you love them in their own special way even if one of them turns out to be a absolute prick.
Hurco Winmax Training
Anyway it’s the same with CNC controls, except you don’t have to pick them up at 2 in the morning from a nightclub. They are only 16 but somehow managed to get totally pissed.
If the Hurco was your child it would be the one with impecable manners and always does his homework. And when  your old, he is the one who cleans you up when you piss yourself on his new chaise lounge.
So easy to use, so intuitive and like my wife when you fuck up it’s there to save you.

Ease Of Use

While the conversational programming is known for its ease of use, unlocking its full potential requires specific, tailored training.
At The CNC Training Centre, we offer specialised, on-site Hurco WinMax training designed to get your team from drawing  to finished part faster than ever before.

The power of training on your own premises

Standard classroom training can be valuable, but for maximum impact, nothing beats learning on your own machines. Our on-site WinMax training brings a number of critical benefits:

  • Tailored to your specific needs: The training can include your actual components and programs. This means the training is immediately relevant and applicable to your daily workflow.
  • No machine downtime for travel: Eliminate the cost and inconvenience of sending your operators off-site for training. Your team remains on-site, ready to return to production as soon as the session is over.
  • Focused on your equipment: You and your team will learn on the exact Hurco machines they operate every day. This includes specific training as well as any specific features you have.
  • Team-wide knowledge transfer: Training an entire team at once ensures consistent practices and a shared understanding of the WinMax system across your whole workshop.

Hurco Tool Changer

The Hurco tool changer is a strange old beast but trust me you will get to love and respect it as time goes on.

First of all you can call the tool anything you like, well sort of as long as it’s a number.

Anyway I’m confusing myself here, you give it a number from 1 to 999

You then decide if it is AUTO or MANUAL. The control will then decide what to do with it.

To define a tool go to Tool Setup Screen type in a new number for your new tool.

As you go to each dropdown menu the option will appear on the right as well.

Now pick your tool, fill in diameter of the tool. Select which coolant type you want PRIMARY is usually the main nozzle supply and SECONDARY is through spindle.

This is where your Hurco starts to get smart, it can calculate your speed based on the SURFACE SPEED you give it. I will also calculate the feed rate based on the number of teeth you have and FEED/REV you give it.

Don’t worry it still works if you wear dentures.

Hurco Import Tools How To Guide

Category : Hurco News

Hurco Import Tools, in a previous article I did say how much I love Hurco Machines  I then added a small caveat and a rant.

Anyway here is another.

Hurco Import Tools

Now if you know a better way of doing this please tell me “we are all in this together” as our government once said as they were about to simultaneously fuck us over and rinse our bank accounts.

I need to re-home this beetle as we are moving house.

Hurco Import Tools

The problem is that when you start a new program it does not have any tools. It’s easy to get your Calvin Klein thong completely twisted on this one.

Sorry but writing these articles just doesn’t pay the bills

What can happen is you can get completely mixed up over what tools are in your machine and what tools your program needs.

Hurco Import Tools to the rescue, I have found the simplest way to sort this out is to have a template program with every tool you ever use or need. You can then import the tools from this program into the one you just started.
