Hurco is a company that prides itself on utilizing the latest in computer and software technology to build highly competitive machine tool solutions. The two founders, Edward Humston and Gerald Roch, were among the first to apply computer technology to the creation of machine parts. Today, the company has continued to apply this principle to all of its products, utilizing the best software tools possible in both the design and creation of machine tool products and applying them within the CNC machine itself. The Hurco VM-Series 3 axis mills epitomizes this philosophy by providing a full-featured, highly capable, general purpose machine tool with a compact footprint.

Used Hurco VM-Series For Sale
3-Axis CNC Mills
The Hurco VM-Series of machine tools are a sturdy general purpose machine tool with an excellent reputation for reliability and accuracy. Its a 3-axis machining center that is efficiently designed to have a large work cube while occupying a relatively small space on the factory floor. A large part of this efficient use of space comes from its one piece machine base, which is made of a solid cast iron frame.
Conversational Programming
All Hurco VM-Series machines benefit from conversational programming, which was developed by Hurco co-founder Gerald Roch. Conversational programming drastically simplifies G-code programming and gives the CNC machinist greater power and control over the tools operation. This makes Hurco machines suitable for both highly complex manufacturing systems and smaller-scale, one-off or 2D manufacturing jobs.
