Everything is done conversational. We do have some 3D parts that we will use a CAM software with. It's one of those things where as Hurco keeps progressing with their surfacing technology that we're hoping to go away from having a third-party CAM system in house and just being able to stick strictly with Hurco conversational programming.
— Seth Cartwright, Perfecto Divisions Operations Manager
Perfecto Tool & Engineering in Anderson, Indiana, is known for combining precision craftsmanship and innovative solutions to solve difficult problems through a wide range of services to its customers including details, special machines, and engineering services.
With a total of 17 Hurco machines and counting, Perfecto has embraced Hurco's user-friendly conversational control, which is what they use almost exclusively to program their parts.
Cartwright noted that having a simple-to-use control right there at the machine makes programming so easy that it has reduced programming time drastically. "Probably takes 30% of the time to program compared to NC programming with G and M-code."
The user-friendly conversational programming also helps shorten the learning curve on the shop's East Side, where apprentices learn the trade. "They're great, great machines to use to teach the apprenticeship program on also, where we have a skilled machinist teaching right alongside so they each have their own machine to work on," explained Cartwright.
We had many parts that were run on the TMM8i then they would go to multiple operations on the mill and then to a manual broaching operation, and with the MYS (TMX8MYSi), we've taken some parts that were actually about an hour and a half (and now) we run some of those parts in 8 minutes.
