Post Processor for Hurco SRTi 5-Axis CNC Machines

Introduction to Hurco SRTi Series

The Hurco SRTi Series combines the rigidity of a vertical machining center with the flexibility of a trunnion-style 5-axis table.

Designed for complex multi-axis machining, these machines are widely used in aerospace, mold & die, medical, and precision engineering applications.

Popular models include:

  • VMX42SRTi
  • VMX60SRTi

The trunnion design provides excellent accessibility to complex part geometries while maintaining high machining accuracy.

Key Features of Hurco SRTi Machines

Full 5-Axis Machining Capability

The SRTi Series supports simultaneous 5-axis machining, allowing multiple surfaces to be machined in a single setup.

Trunnion-Style Configuration

Unlike table-table machines, the trunnion configuration provides improved access to complex part features and is particularly effective for parts requiring extensive multi-face machining.

WinMax Control

Both models utilize Hurco’s WinMax controller and support advanced multi-axis machining functions.

Ideal Applications

Hurco SRTi machines are commonly used for:

  • Aerospace components
  • Mold and die manufacturing
  • Medical devices
  • Precision mechanical parts

Why Do You Need a Dedicated Post Processor?

A machine-specific postprocessor ensures that CAM toolpaths are converted into accurate NC programs for the actual machine configuration.

For Hurco SRTi machines, a dedicated postprocessor supports:

  • Drill Cycles
  • G68.2 Tilted Work Plane (TWP)
  • M128 Tool Center Point (TCP)
  • High-Speed Machining Functions
  • Accurate Rotary Axis Output

This helps reduce manual code editing and improves programming efficiency.

Machine Simulation

Machine simulation allows programmers to verify machine movements before production.

Benefits include:

  • Collision detection
  • Rotary axis verification
  • NC program validation
  • Increased confidence during prove-out

Supported Models

  • Hurco VMX42SRTi
  • Hurco VMX60SRTi
