Operating Dimensions Machine operating dimensions are measured with the enclosure and electrical cabinet doors open, the Z axis fully up, and the console swung out. The following drawings show the machine dimensions referenced in the tables above. Allow additional space around the machine for servicing and safe operation.

Electrical Service Requirements Be familiar with the following requirements: • On-site wiring must comply with all applicable electrical codes. • Dedicated, grounded 3-phase AC power is required to prevent high/low voltages, spikes, surges, and noise. • The AC power source must match the voltage specifications on the machine’s electrical cabinet.
Run electrical power to the machine’s location, with adequate length to reach the connections in the power cabinet. Final connections MUST be supervised by a Hurco Certified Field Service Engineer. The following table contains service fusing currents for the input voltages listed:...
Recommended Isolation Transformer Configuration If a transformer other than the one supplied by Hurco is used, it must meet Hurco’s machine operating voltage requirements. Use one of the configurations shown in the figure below. Hurco recommends the Wye system. It is the customer’s responsibility to have a qualified electrician connect the transformer to the power source.
These fittings restrict the air supply. Recommended Operating Temperature Hurco Machining Centers that are not equipped with the air conditioning option may be operated in ambient temperatures up to 95ºF (35ºC), and in relative humidity (non- condensing) up to 95%.
Machine Lubrication Lubrication points and recommended lubricants appear in the table below. This list is not exhaustive. Lubricants that meet the same specifications as those listed below may be substituted. Lube Point Fill Level or Condition Lubricant Type FRL Unit Between the high and low marks I.S.O.

Inspecting for Damage Before Unloading All Hurco equipment must pass a quality control inspection before being shipped. However, damage may occur during shipment. Hurco strongly recommends that the machine equipment be inspected for damage before unloading. • Before unloading the machine from the shipping carrier, check whether the shock meter sensor is tripped.
Do not remove the shipping supports from under the machine head or the tool changer at this time. If you discover any damage, contact your Hurco representative and the freight company immediately. Do not unpack the Ultimax console from its box. The console will be unpacked and installed by the Certified Field Service Engineer.
The machine is now rough leveled. Leveling the Machine Once the machine is rough leveled, contact your full service distributor or Hurco to have a Field Service Engineer visit and finish the leveling. After the service engineer has leveled the machine, it is the customer's responsibility to check and maintain this level (using the initial leveling specifications obtained at installation).
TART REPARATION The following topics are covered in this section: Meeting Requirements Before the Service Visit......3 - 2 Lathe Max Programming Training .
Flood coolant tank, tubing and coolant pump motor placed near the machine base. A Hurco Certified Service Engineer will visit your site and prepare the machine for start- The customer agrees to furnish, at no charge to Hurco, the materials and personnel necessary to assist the Hurco Service Engineer in testing and inspecting the machine.
ACHINE AND OFTWARE PTIONS Chip Conveyor The chip conveyor is available as a machine option. The chip conveyor removes material from the machine while the part is being machined. UltiDraw DXF Option The UltiDraw Data Exchange Format (DXF) File option allows you to rapidly create Conversational part programs from 2D CAD drawings.
