Post Processor for Hurco VC Series 5-Axis CNC Machines

Introduction to Hurco VC Series

The Hurco VC Series is a dedicated family of simultaneous 5-axis machining centers designed for complex multi-axis manufacturing.

Unlike traditional vertical machining centers equipped with rotary tables, the VC Series is built specifically for 5-axis machining from the ground up, providing excellent accessibility, rigidity, and machining performance.

Popular models include:

  • VC500
  • VC600

These machines are widely used in aerospace, medical, mold & die, and precision engineering applications.

Key Features of Hurco VC Series

Dedicated 5-Axis Design

The VC Series is purpose-built for simultaneous 5-axis machining, enabling efficient production of complex components with fewer setups.

Excellent Part Accessibility

The machine structure provides improved tool access to complex geometries and deep cavities.

WinMax Control

The Hurco WinMax controller supports advanced multi-axis machining functions and efficient NC program execution.

Ideal Applications

  • Aerospace components
  • Medical devices
  • Mold and die manufacturing
  • 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 VC Series machines, a dedicated postprocessor supports:

  • Drill Cycles
  • G68.2 Tilted Work Plane (TWP)
  • M128 Tool Center Point (TCP)
  • High-Speed Machining Functions
  • Accurate 5-Axis Motion Control

This helps improve programming efficiency while reducing manual NC code modifications.

Machine Simulation

Machine simulation helps validate NC programs before production by verifying machine motion, rotary axis movements, and potential collision conditions.

This is especially important when machining complex 5-axis parts.

Supported Models

  • Hurco VC500
  • Hurco VC600
