Hurco Training Manuals?

[jetski]

gavin81 wont pay the bill. I sent the manuals. He said he needed them quickly. So I figured a brother in need. He said they worked great. Sent the manuals and guess what..no money yet 3 months later. Countless emails. I guess I chalk this up to experience. So I guess I will use this as a warning and a lesson. Get the cash first! Gavin I hope you read this. I just need the cash. Remember back when this was an emergency! 3 months ago. Gavin I will keep sending emails and pleas till I get the cash. I will also post a reply when I get my cash.

That was a rude way to treat someone who helped you.

Gavin, Man up and cover your debts.

i am still learning to, my first machine was an old hurco hawk and it was great, so easy to pick up from no previous experience, as the other guy said once you understand the basics of the controls its only limited by your imagination, the only time i ever used a manual was if the machine was broken down lol (which seemed to happen often as it was pretty old) now i am using fanuc om controls and it is much more involved with all the g codses and stuff but again once you understand it its down to imagination, but i must say i feel the fanuc is much more versatile than the hurco conversational style programming

Hey Gavin funs over send the damn money. I am going to keep posting on the site till you pay. You sure needed the manuals bad, then sent a email to say how well they worked. Time to pay up! tired of waiting but not of typing nasty grams on public forums.
For all out there do not send anything to any body no matter how they say they need it yesterday. Trust will kick you in the bill fold. If any body wants please help me in bombarding gavin with pay up email. Thanks for any spam you can send his way. He needs a daily supply of Viagra and male enhancement drugs.
Gavin please just pay the $70.00 you know you owe me.

The Hurco Conversational language is prolly the most powerful at machine control language out there. Its limited more by the programmers lack of imagination than anything else. But it is not the most efficient for cutting in a production enviroment. It will cut air, excessive tool retracts, etc which waste time the machine could be cutting. You need to get and learn a good CAD/CAM package to balance out the Hurco. I would sometimes output G-code to define a pocket profile, then use those numbers in the Hurco. The manuals I got for both the NC executive and converstaional were actually pretty good - and it helps that you've had hands on so you may recognise the topics presented.

That is funny stuff. We have 2 of them but I would not dare say that they have good conversational.

Well - Its like using an HP calculator - it requires a different and somewhat abstract way of thinking.

BTW - I can write a "short program" which will take a long time to complete or a longer "verbos" program which has tripple the number of blocks that runs much faster.

If you don't use "pattern" functions and "parameter" blocks often then your not getting full output potential of the machine.

I agree Hurco lacks in 3d and may have some short commings. I use to work with a Fanuc 160i, Bridgeport EZtrack, Fagor, and a few others. I just have not seen something I can get someone programing on in several hours like the Hurco. You do need a secondary cam package no question. Their 3d is realy more 2.5 D (like AutoCad in the early 80's). You can make gutter shapes (extrusions), rotations like footballs, or rotations like marry-go-rounds. Anything more than that and you better break out the high end Cam package. With it being a pc control the one thing I never understood is why Huco wont hook up with Bob-cad or master cam and make it an option on the machine. Take the machine to the next level all in one. We are a small mold shop with no manual mills (2 cncs only). I made it that way. I dont need rotary tables, sine vises, height gages, volstro heads, or a lot of other secondary equipment like other shops. I have cut my overhead.
