Tom Skubala of MTDCNC and HURCO’s Philip Carr discuss the extra features on the powerful Plus model and how it can make your life easier. With a 12,000 RPM spindle, swarf auger, and through spindle coolant, the VM 30 i Plus offers multiple cutting options to reduce cycle times, allowing 50% more work at every pass. The control on the machine works with conversational data blocks to allow for options such as skimming the top off a particular block with any tool and conversationally programming certain surfaces from a model. The VM 30 i Plus saves unnecessary tool changes through tool optimization for organising tools based on the job. In addition to DXF, the machine offers 3D Model Import, a new feature for bringing STEP files straight into the machine. Hear more from Philip on features like 3D Mould and Swept Surface and how to program an entire job in less than a minute!
