Hurco Open House event secures orders
1 min read
Hurco took £700,000 worth of orders at a recent Open House.
The event was held at its High Wycombe showroom from 6 to 9 July 2009, and the offer of free training classes in programming Hurco machine tools was said to have been a big attraction. In total, 44 companies visited the show and 12 orders worth £700,000 were secured.
The training courses gave new and established users of Hurco machine tools the opportunity to improve their knowledge, learn extra programming tips or simply try out new techniques. These included direct CAD image download to Ultimax using DXF transfer software, conversational NC merge, conversational programming for 4-axis work and lathe control.
The Ultimax conversational programming platform fitted to all Hurco machine tools has seen major enhancements of late, not least the release of WinMax, which moved Hurco controls across to a Windows operating system. It allows advantage to be taken of the greater compatibility, networking and display benefits of Windows whilst retaining the user friendliness of the proprietary Ultimax control.
