Low Frequency Vibration (LFV) is Citizen’s widely applicable cutting technology designed to avoid the problem of spiraling chips, entanglement of chips and built-up edges.  In LFV cutting, “air cutting” time prevents the machining temperature from rising, which gives relief from various problems caused by chips and virtually eliminates the need for high pressure coolant.  LFV is ideal for cutting difficult to cut materials in a broad range of shapes (including hard metals and soft plastics).

Jordan Wade, a machinist at MC Molds, says Hurco's 3D Import feature “blows his mind” in regards to its ability to generate the program or the cutter path so easily when he just picks a surface.

Intended to help shops challenged by the job skills gap, 3D Import reportedly helps shops be more productive and profitable because it’s easy to learn, easy to use, and supports multiple programming methods: conversational programming; NC programming; and NC/Conversational Merge.

The Okuma V920EX vertical lathe increases productivity by providing stable machining of thin and odd-shaped workpieces. With a max turning diameter of 36.22 inches and max turning height of 33.86 inches, this machine is capable of performing powerful, heavy-duty cuts, while the vertical orientation is the ideal platform for running thin-walled parts without distortion. The box-type base and column make a highly dependable, highly rigid structure and the headstock with flange construction minimizes the effects of thermal deformation and vibration, which ensures stable, accurate cutting.
