CNC Milling
Aerocomponents
standardise on Hurco CNC Milling technology.
This allows us immense versatility in production
capacity and maintenance windows. We operate
a total of 18 CNC machining stations in our spacious
reading facility operating around the clock giving
us a total of 2160 man hours CNC Milling capacity
per week.
The Hurco VM1

We
base production around the Hurco VM1 which is
our primary work horse. With its 660 x 355
x 457mm
work envelope
we can machine most components with great precision
and repeatability. These machines offer
positioning of ±5µm, repeatability
of ±3µm and spindle speeds
of upto 8,000 RPM.
All
of our CNC milling machines are hard wired to
the design department which is equipped with
both Alphacam and the Hurco Ultimax 4 CAM Milling
package. This allows us to ensure quality control
through full CAD/CAM management including tool
path simulation and collision control. However,
all
machines
are
equipped with
Hurcos
WinMax control software which allows our operatives
to carry out both conversational and NC programming
on the machine. Because all our machines run
the same controls we can afford considerable
flexibility
in manpower and avoid queuing.
