Machine Components 2-1
Overview
Before using the machine, you should become familiar with its components. Because of
European Committee (CE) requirements, Hurco machines sold in Europe may differ from
those sold elsewhere. The figure below identifies some of the easily recognized
components of a machine.The location of some components may differ on different
models.

Hurco machines are available with several hardware and software options.
Information about options is available from Hurco or your Hurco
full-service distributor.
Hurco machines use microprocessor-based, computer numerical control (CNC) digital
control systems. Part programs are entered in either Conversational or Conventional NC
(G-Code) format.
All of the turning centers described in this manual, including the TM series, have a multitool turret with two axes. In addition, these turning centers are available with the
following configurations:
TM L series machines have a long bed.
TMM series machines also have live-tooling and C-axis.
2 - 2 Machine Components
704-0214-210
TMX series machines have a programmable tailstock.
TMX MY series machines have live-tooling, Y-axis motion, and a

programmable tailstock.
TMX MYS series machines have live-tooling, Y-axis motion, and a sub-spindle.
Options are available to accommodate various turning applications.
Specification measurements are supplied in metric and English.
Closed loop servo drive systems and motors with rotary encoders power the mechanical
drives that position the axes. The rotary encoders provide positioning feedback
information to the control. Limit switches mounted on each axis determine end-of-travel
and establish reference points for initial machine zeros.
The control positions an axis by sending a command to the appropriate servo drive, which
in turn supplies voltage to the axis servomotor.
Machine linear positioning accuracy was set at the factory, in an
ambient temperature of 68 F (20 C). Continual operation at
higher or lower temperatures may require that you recompensate the linear positioning accuracy.
Refer to the Parts Listing and Wiring Diagrams Manual for mechanical and electrical
component drawings for your machine.
Optimum machine performance is reliant upon installation
conditions being within Hurcos recommended specifications
(power supply, air supply, ambient air conditions, etc.).
704-0214-210
Machine Model Names

The TM6, TM8, TM10, TM12, TM18, TM18L, TMM8, TMM10, TMX8, TMX8MY, TMX8MYS,
TMX10, TMX10MY, and TMX10MYS machines are described in this manual.
Frame
The major structural assemblies of each machine are constructed of thick-walled, finegrain cast iron. This construction provides strength and excellent dampening
characteristics, keeping deflection and resistance at a minimum during turning.
Head
The cast iron head assembly is designed to produce superior cutting accuracy.
Guideways
The axes guideways are precision linear rails. The tailstock (if equipped) runs on box
ways.
Switches and Sensors

Limit switches, proximity switches, and electrical sensors monitor machine functions.
These devices report their status to the control. If a malfunction is detected, a stop
condition will shut off power to the servo systems and spindle.
704-0214-210
Enclosure
A full chip enclosure is standard in every Hurco turning center.
Figure 22. Full Chip and Coolant Enclosure
Standard features may include a flood coolant system with chip pan. An optional chip
conveyor may be installed.
Consult Hurco or your Hurco distributor for details about purchasing options.
704-0214-210
Spindle and Drive System

Hurco machines have a cartridge-type spindle. This spindle is precision-balanced, and
made of high-grade alloy steel. The spindle shaft (inside the cartridge) is supported by
ABEC-7 class angular contact bearings. The bearings are grease packed.

Pressure is adjusted through a valve located behind an access panel at the lower left side
of the front of the machine. Clamping by external, internal, or collet type workholding can
be set through Manual mode. The chuck is opened or closed by pressing the foot pedal.
Refer to the WinMax Lathe Options Help for information about operating the optional
collet chuck.

AC Spindle Drive Unit

The spindle drive uses Flux Vector method for precise speed and torque control over a
wide range of motor speeds. The spindle system also requires an encoder for feedback. A
microprocessor along with programming parameters governs the closed-loop control and
monitoring.
The following messages are output at terminals via relay contacts:
Speed Agree
Spindle Fault
When the spindle drive detects a fault or alarm, the fault information is displayed on the
Digital Operator (i.e., OC, or Overcurrent), the fault contact closes, and the motor stops.
Spindle Motor
The belt-driven spindle and spindle motor are coupled using multiple V-belts. The motor
is fully enclosed, uses forced-air cooling, and has no brushes to inspect or replace.
To allow the machining of a variety of parts, the spindle RPM is specified in the part
program. A manual spindle speed override on the control console permits fine-tuning of
the spindle RPM for a specific machining cycle, without changing the part program.

Servomotors
Axis velocity, position, and travel direction are controlled using AC servomotors along
with the CNC control. These motors are enclosed, transistor-driven, and self-cooled.
Because they are designed without brushes, the motors are free from flashover and
commutation loss.
Ballscrews and Bearings

The precision ballscrews are the double ballnut type . The ballscrews are hardened and
ground to minimize drag torque and reduce backlash.
The axes positioning drives are supported at the drive-ends by ABEC-7 class bearings.
Feedback Systems
Each drive has circuitry to detect conditions in the servo closed-loop system. Each axis
motor is equipped with a rotary encoder that provides velocity and position feedback
signals for each closed-loop system. These signals are required for motor control and
accurate positioning.
Limit switches mounted on each axis are used to establish reference points for initial
machine zeros and for determining end-of-travel.
704-0214-210
Machine Electrical Cabinet

The electrical cabinet contains power circuitry and CNC electronics. The cabinet is
attached to the machine base and connects to the machine systems via cable and
harness assemblies. Power-related circuitry distributes power, while CNC-related
electronics control machine operation (e.g., spindle speed and axis positioning).
The electrical control cabinet located at the back of the machine contains CNC-related
electronics and power-related circuitry.
An industrial UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) kit is available as
an option. The UPS contains a battery that can power the machine
for an extended amount of time in the case of a power outage.
Please contact Hurco or your Hurco Distributor for details.
Safety Procedures for Electrical Service

Before removing or working on any printed circuit board (PCB), cables, fuses, breakers,
or other machine components, make sure that the main disconnect switch on the
electrical cabinet door is in the off position. Whenever work will be performed in an area
away from the main disconnect switch, post a warning at the switch informing others that
the machine is being serviced and the power must remain off.
High voltages inside the electrical cabinet can cause serious injury or
death. Only qualified personnel may service the machine, and must
follow all safety rules and precautions. The line-side of the main
disconnect switch is hot, unless the AC source is disconnected.
Service procedures requiring electrical work while equipment is
energized shall only be performed by qualified service personnel.
Service personnel performing troubleshooting or adjustment
procedures to electrical equipment in the control cabinet or other
electrical enclosures with doors open or protective covers removed
while machine power is energized, shall observe applicable safety
practices outlined in NFPA 70E and Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) 29 CFR part 1910.331-335."
704-0214-210
Handling Printed Circuit Boards

The following procedures should be taken to prevent damage when removing PCBs, or
when checking the boards for proper and secure connections.
Avoid flexing the PCBs. Rough handling can result in hairline cracks in the printed circuit
etching. Problems caused by cracks in PC boards can be hard to isolate. Avoid touching
the components on a PCB because they can be damaged by static electricity.
Always put on a static-safe handling wrist strap before touching PCB

assemblies inside the cabinets, and before removing replacement boards
from their static protective packaging.
Visually inspect the wrist strap every time you put it on, making sure that
the snap fasteners are properly connected.
Be sure the strap fits snug to the wrist. Taking off the wrist strap should
be the last thing done when finished inside the cabinet.
After the replacement PCB is properly mounted, place the defective PCB
assembly into the static shielding and return it to Hurco.

Operating Temperature
The electronics inside the electrical cabinet are designed to tolerate ambient
temperatures from 0 C (32 F) up to 50 C (122 F). Fans on some of the electronic
assemblies and a heat exchanger on the cabinet door circulate warm air away from
components. The cabinet contains a temperature sensor mounted on the Slice I/O unit
for machines so equipped.
This sensor is preset to a temperature limit of 55 C (131 F). If the temperature exceeds
the limit, the machine will post an error message for the operator.
Hurco machines that are not equipped with the air conditioning option may be operated
in ambient temperatures to 35 C (95 F), and in relative humidity (non-condensing) up
to 95%.
Control Transformer
The 500VA control transformer converts 230VAC to 200W fpr 115 VAC for the CNC power
supply and 300W for 115 VAC for the field power supply. The AC outlet on the
transformer powers all electrical components.
Power Supply
The Mini-ITX hardware platform uses 2 power supplies: CNC Power and Field Power.
CNC Power
Control power is converted from the 115VAC through a 24VDC, 240W power supply that
goes to the terminal block via a cable. Multiple cables exit the terminal block:
A cable connects from the terminal block into the bottom of the Slice 0 I/O.
A cable connects from the terminal block to the Mini-ITX Card Rack.
A cable connects from the terminal block to the RMB (Remote Motion Block).
A cable connects from the terminal block to the console.
Field Power
Field power is isolated from the control and is converted from the 115VAC through a
24VDC, 120W power supply. The 24VDC runs though the MGND to the Bank Commons
located in the Slice I/O and powers sensors and relays.
704-0214-210
Card Rack Electronics

The Mini-ITX control is an embedded CNC and Slice I/O device used with the RMB to
distribute power to the machine and console and to control machine operation. There is
also a quick change SATA drive caddy.
In the upright position, installed in the electrical cabinet, the access panel is on the righthand side of the case. Remove the 10 screws to open the case. Holes are available for
screwdriver access to the PCI and PCIe cards inside the case.
Processor
The Mini-ITX CNC contains a COM Express CPU with a 2 GHz Core 2 duo processor and 2
GB DDR2 667 Mhz maximum system memory.
Digital Watchdog
The Mini-ITX digital watchdog is located on the card rack carrier board. The watchdog
monitors the refresh or heartbeat of the host processor. The watchdog disables control
power in the event the heartbeat should stop. If this occurs, the Main Slice I/O ES System
Status LED illuminates to indicate an Embedded E-Stop: Host Watchdog Timeout
condition.
For TMX machines, the Mini-ITX digital watchdog is located on the main processor board.
PCIe Video Board

The PCIe video board is located on the front of the Mini-ITX card rack, next to the Motion
board. The video card is a PCI Express x16 High Performance, Dual VGA. The PCIe board
rests on a retainer inside the card rack. Access to the board is allowed through a
screwdriver hole in the bottom of the card rack.
PCI Motion Board

The PCI motion board is located on the front of the Mini-ITX card rack, next to the Video
board. Milling machines use the ZMP PCI motion board. The PCI board rests on a retainer
inside the card rack.Access to the board is allowed through a screwdriver hole in the
bottom of the card rack.
The motion control subsystem consists of two major component types: the ZMP motion
processor and one or more Remote Motion Blocks (RMB). Each component is connected in
a token ring network topology using shielded CAT5e cables terminated with RJ45
connectors (a.k.a. the SynqNet bus). The network complies with the 100Base-T physical
standard, but uses a deterministic full-duplex protocol called SynqNet to communicate
between the controller and its nodes. SynqNet is an open standard developed by Motion
Engineering, Inc.
The ZMP motion processor is a PCI card with an intelligent DSP controller that accepts
position/velocity/time commands from the CNC host computer, and sends velocity
commands digitally via the SynqNet bus. The RMB then converts the digital velocity
command to an analog voltage compatible with the servo drive velocity input. Conversely,
the incremental position data from the axis encoders is decoded by the RMB, and
transmitted as an absolute position to the SynqNet bus. The ZMP receives the position
feedback and passes it to the host computer via PCI bus. The ZMP uses the same position
704-0214-210
feedback in its fine interpolation algorithm to determine its velocity command.

Each RMB supports four motors (command and feedback) and one encoder (feedback
only). Hurco machines use a single RMB for a 3-axis (XYZ and S) configuration. An
additional RMB is required for 4th-axis, 5th-axis, and dual loop linear scale
configurations.
Servo Transducer, PCI HAL8516H

board. TM and TMM machines use the HAL8516H PCI Servo Transducer motion board.
The board rests on a retainer inside the card rack. Access to the board is allowed through
a screwdriver hole in the bottom of the card rack.
The motion control subsystem consists of two major component types: the HAL8516H
PCI Servo Transducer motion board and one or more Honda-8516H Breakout PCB. Each
component is connected in a token ring network topology using shielded CAT5e cables
terminated with RJ45 connectors (a.k.a. the SynqNet bus). The network complies with
the 100Base-T physical standard, but uses a deterministic full-duplex protocol called
SynqNet to communicate between the controller and its nodes. SynqNet is an open
standard developed by Motion Engineering, Inc.
The motion processor is a PCI card with an intelligent DSP controller that accepts
position/velocity/time commands from the CNC host computer, and sends velocity
commands digitally via the SynqNet bus. The Breakout board then converts the digital
velocity command to an analog voltage compatible with the servo drive velocity input.
Conversely, the incremental position data from the axis encoders is decoded by the
Breakout board, and transmitted as an absolute position to the SynqNet bus. The
HAL8516H receives the position feedback and passes it to the host computer via PCI bus.
The HAL8516H uses the same position feedback in its fine interpolation algorithm to
determine its velocity command.
Each Breakout board supports four motors (command and feedback) and one encoder
(feedback only). Hurco machines use a single Breakout board for a 3-axis (XYZ and S)
configuration. An additional Breakout board is required for 4th-axis, 5th-axis, and dual
loop linear scale configurations.
Sercos Card
board. TMX machines use the Sercos NGC motion board. The board rests on a retainer
inside the card rack. Access to the board is allowed through a screwdriver hole in the
bottom of the card rack.
704-0214-210
Slice I/O
The Slice I/O monitors machine sensors and controls electrical and electomechanical
devices such as the Tool Changer. The device is mounted on the DIN rail, accommodating
installation and servicing. The I/O devices and wiring terminals are merged into one unit
for fewer connections, higher reliability, and a smaller footprint.
The standard configuration consists of a Main (Slice 0), a Slave (Slice 1) and another
Slave (Slice 2). Each Slice component contains Diagnostic LEDs that indicate the status of
all I/O points.
Main Slice
The Main Slice contains System Status LEDs, several Input and Output connections (see
Figure 24. Slice I/O, on page 2 - 24 for a list of each).
System Status LEDs on Slice 0 indicate the following when lit:
ESEmbedded E Stop
RSTSystem Reset
OTOver Temp
ERRCAN Communication Error
TXCAN Message
Slave Slice
The secondary Slice I/O devices have binary Slice Address LEDs. Each Slice I/O has a
unique address. Most machines are equipped with Slice 0 I/O and 2 secondary Slice I/O
(Slice 1 and Slice 2), expandable up to 17 slices (268 inputs and 268 outputs) (see Figure
24. Slice I/O, on page 2 - 24 for a list of each).

USB Ports
The Comm panel has two USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports. The USB port is a high-speed
port that allows you to connect devices, such as printers and jump drives to the panel.
You can use a jump drive to transfer files.
Network Port
The 10/100Base-T (RJ45) connector is used with the UltiMonitor option. This option
requires a Local Area Network (LAN or network) that supports the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet
hardware standards. Contact your IT provider for guidance about proper LAN design and
setup.
With UltiMonitor, you can communicate with other CNCs, and with PCs or file servers
connected to your LAN using standard TCP/IP and FTP protocols. UltiMonitor also includes
Extended Shop Floor (ESF) for remote machine monitoring and communication.
704-0214-210
Control Systems
Circuit diagrams for electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems are available in the
Parts Listings and Wiring Diagram Manual for the machine.
Operator Control Console

Hurco Turning Centers come with a WinMax Lathe Max console. The dual-screen console
is optional equipment for Turning Centers. Contact your full service distributor or Hurco
for more information about console features.
The Max console uses only one screen to alternately display text and graphics. It is
mounted to an overhead pendant arm, which the operator can position. A USB (Universal
Serial Bus) drive is located on the right side of the console.
For operating and programming information, refer to the on-screen Help or the manuals
that are available in PDF format on the machines hard drive.
A dual-screen console is pictured below:
Figure 26. Dual-Screen Control Console
704-0214-210
A Max console is pictured below:
Figure 27. Max Control Console
Touchscreen and Touchscreen Controller

The touchscreen is a passive device consisting of a glass substrate and two layers of
silver-ink screened polyester film separated by microscopic plastic spacers. The silver is
thinly and precisely applied so that the silver ink has a consistent sheet resistance.
When the operator applies pressure to the outer polyester film, the silver ink planes
contact each other, momentarily completing a pair of voltage dividers. During that brief
period the touchscreen controller applies a DC voltage between the top and bottom bus
bars on the front silver ink plane. The touchscreen controller then reads the voltage level
from the rear plane to determine vertical position.
During the second half of the scan cycle, the controller applies a differential voltage
horizontally across the rear plane, then reads its voltage or horizontal positions from the
front layer. This scan cycle occurs several hundred times per second and screen
coordinates are digitally filtered before they are transmitted via RS232 to the host CPU
and driver software.
The driver software has a built-in utility that the Service engineer uses to calibrate the
touchscreen at machine installation. This procedure can be repeated by the operator as
necessary.
704-0214-210

Pneumatic System
The pneumatic system regulates the air valves that supply compressed air to various
machine systems, such as spindle blow out.
A factory-set air pressure-detecting switch monitors the air supply to
the solenoid control valves. Do not tamper with this switch.
The Filter, Regulator, and Lubricator (FRL) Unit is connected to the air manifold, and
meters lubricant into the pneumatic system. The FRL prevents moisture from
contaminating the compressed air supply, promotes trouble-free operation of air
cylinders and valves, and extends the service life of metal components that come in
contact with the compressed air stream.
Incoming air pressure can be adjusted using the knob on top of the filter assembly. For
information about maintaining the FRL Unit, refer to Filter, Regulator, and Lubricator
Unit, on page 4 - 18.
704-0214-210
Turret
The TM Series turning centers use hydraulics and valves to rotate the turret disc. A
hydraulic pump and pressure gauge is located at the rear of the machine, along with a
thermometer and sight gauge. The pressure gauge is factory set. Hurco does not
recommend adjusting this pressure gauge.
The TMM Series, TMX Series, TMX MY Series, and TMX MYS Series turning centers use a
servo motor to index the VDI disc turret. The motor is an AC induction motor, singlewound, and fan cooled.
The TMM turret drive is 220VAC, 3 phase, 50/60 Hz, with regenerative (dynamic)
braking.
The TMX8, TMX8MY, TMX8MYS, and TMX10 turret drive is 400-480VAC, 3 phase, 50/60
Hz, with regulated servo drive.

Operation Requirements 3-1
Machine Installation
Inspect the machine to ensure that all parts are included and intact. The owner is
responsible for proper site preparation before the machine is installed. A Hurco Field
Service Engineer must install the machine in the prepared location. This location must
not subject the machine to uncontrolled cabinet temperatures or unfavorable work
environment conditions that could cause electronic component failure.
If the owner decides later to move the machine from its installed location, it is
recommended that the owner call Hurco for assistance.
Improper moving of the machine may result in personal injury or
damage to the machine.
Guarding System
Each machine has a self-contained guarding system. Enclosure doors are located on the
front of each machine. Inspect the machine to ensure the guarding system is intact.
The enclosure doors lock during Automatic Run Mode to prevent access to the
moving parts of the machine.
The side doors on each machine are either latched or secure.
The enclosure doors are secured with an interlocking door switch.
Foundation Conditions
The foundation must be able to support the weight of the machine, and should be
constructed of continuous concrete (reinforced concrete is best). The thickness and
consistency of the concrete must be compatible with industry standards for supporting
machine weight. Actual requirements will depend upon the physical properties of
underlying soil. Friction pads or machine anchors may be required to assure optimal
machine performance.
3 - 2 Operation Requirements
704-0214-210
Electrical Service Requirements

Follow all requirements below to help ensure personnel safety and to prevent equipment
damage.
Run electrical power to the machine location, with adequate length to reach the
connections in the power cabinet. Final connections MUST be supervised by a Hurcocertified Service Engineer.
Connecting Electrical Service

Observe the following guidelines when connecting electrical service:
On-site wiring must comply with all established directives and standards.
Dedicated, grounded 3-phase AC power is required to prevent high and/or

low voltages, spikes, surges, and high frequency noise caused by inductive
loads.
The AC power source must match the voltage specifications listed on the
machine data plate.
Failure to provide the required power parameters may affect machine safety,
performance and warranty.
Wiring to the machine must be capable of supplying continuous, full-load

specified amperage.
Recommended Isolation Transformer Configuration

If a transformer other than the one provided with the machine is used, it must meet
Hurcos machine operating voltage requirements. Use a Delta to balanced Wye
configuration. Refer to the Getting Started manual for more information.
Grounding Equipment
The machine electrical and electronic control systems are interconnected, terminating at
the Protective Earth (PE) or ground point.
The ground point must be properly connected to the ground circuit of the AC
power source. The ground point is located inside of the machines power
cabinet.
The ground point provides only one conducting path between the machine
and external ground, preventing an unwanted ground loop (ground
differential voltage).
704-0214-210
Compressed Air Requirements

For machines requiring compressed air, a continuous supply of clean and dry air is
essential for proper machine operation, and must be connected to the machine as
described here.
Compressed Air Specification

Compressed air must conform to the specification:
5 CFM at 80 - 100 psi; or
0.14 M3/min at 6.0 - 8.0 bar.
Air humidity: 2 C (35 F)
Connecting Compressed Air

The air supply line must meet these requirements:
An NPT pipefitting must connect the air supply line to the machine.
A regulator valve must be installed to control the air pressure into the
machine.
A factory-set pressure switch must be installed to shut off control voltages if

the air pressure falls below the pre-set level.
A minimum 1.27 cm diameter (1/2 inch, trade size) pipe, or an equivalent

1.99 cm (7/8 inch) diameter air hose supply line is required to provide
adequate air volume.
A drip leg should be installed in the line ahead of the filter/regulator

assembly. The drip leg will help remove moisture accumulation in the supply,
making the filter last longer.
Quick coupler type fittings should not be used at the connection to the air
filter/regulator, or within the supply line to the machine.
Anti-Vibration Mountings
Anti-vibration mountings, consisting of a spring-mounted ball bearing, are attached to
each machine. Loose springs and balls are signs of excessive vibration.
Check the mountings before uncrating the machine to ensure that the machine has been
handled properly prior to its arrival. Continue to inspect the mountings on a regular basis.
704-0214-210
Initial Test and Examination

Follow the instructions below for performing the initial test and examination of the
machine and its guarding system.
Arrange for a Hurco-certified Service Engineer to perform the final machine setup.
Complete these procedures prior to the arrival of the Service Engineer:
1. Provide utilities to the machine.
2. Check all machine lubrication levels.
3. Place the flood coolant tank, tubing, and coolant pump motor near the
machine base.
The Hurco-certified Service Engineer performs these tasks:
1. Inspects the machine level and makes required adjustments.
2. Checks and connects electrical service to the machine.
3. Installs the control console.
4. Measures voltages in the electrical cabinet and control enclosure and makes
adjustments, if needed.
5. Installs the flood coolant tank, tubing, and coolant pump motor.
Hurco is not responsible for failures of the motor encoder and cable
assemblies resulting from abuse and direct spray of coolant.
6. Installs covers and enclosures.
7. Checks fans and pumps for proper operation.
8. Checks all axes for calibration and correct limit switch operation.
9. Tests the disk drive.
704-0214-210
Proper Operation and Maintenance

This section addresses the proper operation of the machine. The information presented
here is not a substitute for operator training, skill, and good judgment. Hurco does not
accept any liability for operator error.
Training for Operators

Hurco or a Hurco-authorized distributor must train all machine operators. Hurco offers
classes to demonstrate the programming capabilities of its CNC system. The training
classes provide hands-on development of part programs.
Study this manual before attempting to operate the machine and become familiar with
machine functions and safety features. Review all caution and warning messages, as well
as all warning and instruction plates or decals on the machine.
Enclosure Doors and Guarding

Hurco machines are built to comply with the standards outlined in the Machine Standards
chapter. Enclosure doors are located on the front of each machine.
Enclosure doors should always be closed when the machine is
operating in Auto Mode.
Enclosure doors are provided to minimize the risks of ejection of the workpiece, machine
components, tools or parts of them, swarf, chips, or coolant.
Enclosure doors are designed and constructed to withstand foreseeable impact energy,
depending upon the diameter of the largest possible clamping device for the machine and
its maximum speed.
If machining unbalanced workpieces, an ejection hazard is possible. Reduce this risk by
counter balancing or machining at reduced speeds. Enclosure doors are intended to
minimize the risks of ejection and not to eliminate them completely.
704-0214-210
Setup
Follow these precautions during machine and production setup:
Perform all setup work with the Emergency Stop engaged. Never put your
hands near a part being machined.
Clamp the fixtures and workpiece securely before starting the machine. Loose
objects such as wrenches and chuck keys can become flying projectiles if not
removed before starting the machine.
Wear gloves or use a shop cloth when handling tooling.
Inspect tools and tool holders frequently. Use tools that are properly
sharpened and in good condition.
Never start the machine when the cutter is in contact with the workpiece.
Make sure the direction of spindle rotation is correct to prevent cutter
breakage. Rotate the spindle clockwise for right-hand tools, and
counterclockwise for left-hand tools.
Keep the work area well-lighted. Adjust lamps so that light does not shine
directly into the operators eyes.
Make certain all guards are in place before beginning operation.
Operation and Maintenance
Know where the Emergency Stop pushbuttons are located.
The operator should stay within reach of an Emergency Stop button when the
machine is in motion.
Be aware of all pinch points caused by the motion of the axes and turret. Be
aware of protruding machine parts.
Keep the electrical cabinet doors closed while power is on. Before opening the
electrical cabinet doors, verify that the main disconnect switch has been
turned Off.
High voltages present in the machine electrical system can cause
serious injury or death.
Do not remove or bypass safety limit switches, interlocks, and other

safeguards.
Do not start the machine unless all systems contain the proper amount and
type of lubricant.
Make certain that all necessary guards and protective devices are in place
before operating the machine.
If unusual sounds, smoke, heat or damaged parts occur, turn off the
machine.
704-0214-210
Working Practices
Follow the correct service and repair procedures to ensure proper operation of the
machine, and to reduce the likelihood of serious operator injury.
Observe these basic precautions when working near a machine:
Responsible Conduct
Follow the instructions provided when performing a maintenance task.
Keep all parts of your body away from moving parts.
Be alert and keep safety in mind.
Never attempt to operate or repair a machine if you have taken strong

medication, used a prescription drug, or consumed an alcoholic beverage.
Do not attempt to operate or repair a machine until you have read and
understood all information that pertains to the machine, including all warning
and instruction plates or decals mounted on the machine.
Know how the machine functions, and understand its safety features.
Personal Care
Avoid frequent or prolonged skin contact with fresh or used cutting fluids and
oils.
If machining chemicals come in contact with your skin, wash the area
immediately.
Wash your hands thoroughly before eating.
Change clothing that has become contaminated with machining fluids and
oils.
For complete information about handling industrial chemicals used in

machining, refer to the international Control of Substances Hazardous to
Health (COSHH) materials from the chemical suppliers.
Wearing Apparel
Wear eye protection and safety shoes while in the machining work area.
Safety glasses with side shields are recommended. Safety shoes should be in
good condition, with steel reinforced toes and oil-resistant soles.
Remove clothing and jewelry that could get caught in machine moving parts.
Do not wear loose-fitting clothing. Long shirt sleeves are not recommended.
Keep long hair tied back so that vision is not obstructed and hair cannot
become caught in moving parts.
704-0214-210
Heavy Lifting
Do not attempt to lift more than you can safely handle. When lifting, keep
your back straight and use your legs.
Use a hoist for heavy lifting, making sure that the load is evenly balanced and
is raised slowly.
Do not raise a large load over aisles and make certain that the landing area is
clear and level.
Housekeeping
Maintain a clean and orderly workspace around the machine. The floor must
be free of spills and obstructions.
Use only sturdy work platforms with anti-slip surfaces around the machine.
Do not store tools, shop cloths, and miscellaneous parts on the machine.
When removing chips, make certain the spindle is completely stopped. Use a
brush or chip scraper to remove chipsdo not use compressed air to blow
chips from the spindle, controls, cabinet or floor. Do not remove chips by
hand, or while the spindle is turning. Dispose of chips frequently.
704-0214-210
Machinery Safety
The Hurco machines safety circuit is designed to provide safe and reliable operation.
Tamper-resistant fasteners are used to hold combination door lock/switches in place and
to prevent access to internal wiring.
If the owner or operator modifies the hardware or software by removing, altering,
disabling, or tampering with any safety circuit, safety switch, or other safety operation
and operates the machine with those modifications, such operation is extremely
hazardous and is a foreseeable misuse of the machine, and voids the Hurco warranty. In
addition, it may be in violation of federal or local regulations, directives, codes, or
ordinances. If such modifications are discovered, the machine must be immediately shut
off and not used. Contact a Hurco-certified Service Engineer for assistance in restoring
the machine to safe operation.
Following are basic rules governing operation. Please refer to Operation Requirements,
on page 3 - 11 for details about operation limitations with doors open.
The spindle cannot operate unless all enclosure doors are closed, excluding
doors that are fastened shut with bolts or screws.
When the Limited Manual Operations are Enabled in the CE Diagnostics

screen, the spindle can be run and the axes can be jogged with the enclosure
door open at a limited RPM when the Start Cycle button and the Enable

meter from the machines enclosure. The maximum ambient noise level reading taken for
machines is 60 dB. The maximum reading for any Hurco machine will not exceed 85 dB.
The maximum noise levels are for reference only, and are not
necessarily safe working levels. While there is a correlation between
the emission and exposure levels, this cannot be used to determine
whether further precautions are required. Factors that influence the
actual level of exposure of the workforce include characteristics of
the workroom, other sources of noise, the number of machines and
other adjacent processes. Also the permissible exposure level can
vary from country to country. This information, however, will enable
the user of the machine to make a better evaluation of the hazard
and risk.

Spindle
Turning centers are equipped with belt-driven spindles. The TMX MYS sub-spindle is
equipped with a motorized spindle. TMX, TMX MY, and TMX MYS turning centers are
equipped with a spindle chiller. TM and TMM turning centers may be equipped with an
optional spindle chiller.
Spindle Chiller
The spindle chiller maintains spindle temperature by circulating liquid around the spindle
cartridge. Chilling the spindle reduces thermal growth, which improves machining
accuracy. If the chiller liquid level in the tank is not maintained at or above the low mark,
the system pump could be damaged and spindle cooling impaired.
The spindle chiller has two operating modes: Differential and Fixed.
In Differential mode, the chiller operates when the difference between the
ambient air and liquid temperatures exceeds the setting on the temperature
display.
In Fixed mode, the chiller operates when the temperature of the liquid
exceeds a fixed temperature as shown on the temperature display.
704-0214-210
Maintain Spindle Chiller Solution

Weekly: Inspect the chiller solution level (if equipped), and if necessary, add solution to
the unit.
Follow these steps:

704-0214-210
Spindle Chiller Temperature Requirement

For all turning centers, the spindle chiller should be set for Differential Temperature
Control.
Hurco recommends the Differential Temperature on the spindle chiller be set to 2 C
cooler than the ambient temperature to maintain the appropriate liquid temperature.
Refer to Differential Temperature Mode, on page 4 - 13 for details.
Differential Temperature Mode

When the Spindle Chiller is in Differential Temperature Mode, setting the Liquid
Temperature to -2 C programs the spindle chiller to constantly maintain the liquid
temperature 2 cooler than the ambient temperature. If the ambient temperature
changes, the liquid temperature is adjusted to keep it 2 cooler than the ambient
temperature.
With machine power on, the cooler unit starts the cooling process when the temperature
difference between the liquid and the ambient air is greater than the Differential
Temperature setting.
The cooling process stops when the temperature differential between the liquid and the
ambient air is equal to or less than the Differential Temperature setting.
The following table shows the Differential Temperature cooling process as the liquid
temperature changes:

Pneumatic System
The pneumatic system includes a Filter, Regulator, and Lubricator (FRL) Unit. The filter
cleans incoming compressed air, and expels accumulated moisture through a drain. The
lubricator meters oil into the air stream to lubricate cylinders and valves. The rate at
which lubricant is released into the pneumatic system (i.e., the drip rate) is adjustable.
For TM6, TM8 and TM10 models the pneumatic system includes a
Filter and Regulator Unit with no lubrication unit. Other turning
centers pneumatic systems include the FRL system. The optional
parts catcher and auto door operate using the pneumatic system.
Refer to the WinMax Lathe Options help for more information about
operating and maintaining the parts catcher and the auto door.

the tailstock move faster or slower.
704-0214-210
Flood Coolant and Washdown System

The flood coolant system pumps coolant to the tool in the turret.The washdown system
uses a large flow of coolant to move chips to the front of the machine and onto the chip
conveyor. A washdown spray gun is externally mounted on the machine to spray chips
found inside the enclosure.
Chips that are flushed out of the machining center collect in the chip conveyor tank. Used
coolant is cleaned of chips and oil and recirculated into the coolant tank. Filters remove
contaminants from the coolant.
Selecting Coolant
Use the recommended coolant to prevent damage to the machine oil, guideways,
precision ballscrews, and painted surfaces. Use a non- or semi-synthetic water soluble
coolant. Coolant should have these qualities:
Suitable for the workpiece material and machining operation.
Soluble in water.
Mineral content of at least 35%. When synthetic coolants and coolants that
contain too little mineral oil come in contact with guideway lube oil, they can
clog the guideways.
Adequate rust protection.
Anti-foam, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal agents.
No skin irritation when prepared to manufacturer specifications.
Penetrating lubrication oil should float on the surface of the coolant (instead
of dissolving in the coolant).
No aggressive additives. However, suitable additives can increase cutting

capacity.
Failure of devices or performance problems related to coolant are not
a defect in Hurcos material or workmanship, and will not be covered
by Hurcos warranty.
Preparing Coolant
Follow these guidelines when preparing coolant:
Mix the coolant according to manufacturer instructions. Use deionized

(preferred) or softened water for the coolant mixture. To prevent zinc
contamination, do not store coolant in a galvanized container.
Check coolant concentration regularly with a refractometer or by titration.
Screen off any residue floating in the coolant.
Use coolant additives such as bactericides, fungicides, and anti-foam

corrosion agents only if recommended by the coolant manufacturer.
Do not allow foreign matter to mix with the coolant. Contaminated coolant
can damage machine parts.
704-0214-210
Check and Maintain the Coolant

Daily or every 8 hours: Check the coolant level every day at the start of operation.
To maintain the coolant level, find the level indicator on the coolant tank and proceed as
follows:
1. If the flood coolant pump is off, then fill the coolant to the H (High) mark. Note
that the machine should be off for at least 5 minutes before filling the tank
with coolant.
2. If the flood coolant pump is delivering coolant to the machine, then fill to the
MAX mark.
If the coolant level drops below the L (Low) level mark on the coolant
tank, the coolant system may not operate properly.
Replacing Coolant
Weekly or after 40-50 hours of operation: Clean the coolant filters.
Every 3 Months or every 500 hours: Replace coolant and coolant filters.
1. Using a suitable brush, remove chips and other debris from the enclosure (and
chip conveyor, if installed).
2. Drain used coolant from the system and tanks.
3. Clean or change pump filters and pick-up tubes.
4. Fill the coolant tank with a neutral aqueous (water-based) cleaning agent and
flush thoroughly.
5. Drain the cleaning agent.
6. Rinse the system thoroughly with a 1% coolant solution. If bacteria or fungi
contaminate the system, use a cleaning agent recommended by the coolant
manufacturer.
7. Drain the rinsing solution.
8. Add new coolant.
9. Dispose of used coolant and cleaning solution in compliance with applicable
pollution control regulations.
704-0214-210
Coolant Collector Filter

Daily: Clean the coolant collector filter.
A coolant collector is located at the rear of the spindle, inside the enclosure. This device
collects coolant that runs through the spindle as the spindle turns and returns the coolant
through a hose into the coolant tank.
In addition to returning the coolant, the collector uses a filter to keep the tank free of
chips. This filter needs to be cleaned frequently to avoid having the coolant overflow from
the collector.
To access the coolant collector and filter, open the enclosure door on the left side of the
machine, where the Communications Panel is located.
TMX Turret Coolant Valve

Every 3 Months or 500 hours of operation: Inspect and clean the TMX coolant valve

704-0214-210
Enclosure Windows
Daily: Inspect the enclosure windows for scratches, damage, cracks, or other
deformities that could adversely affect the impact resistance.
Polycarbonate Panels which are used as viewing window of machines are subject to
significant deterioration in its impact resistance due to the action of metal working fluids
and other lubricants. The degradation process depends on the amount and type of fluids
and can lead to a loss of approximately 10% of panels impact resistance per year. It is
the operators responsibility to ensure that the control measures for ejections of work
pieces and/or chuck jaw are sufficient for the hazard and that the control measures are in
proportion to the risk.
Hurco recommends that the user contact your Hurco representative for application of
safety film or replacement glass periodically to ensure the proper corrective action is
taken.
Spindle Run-in or Cycle Procedure

Note if the red beacon is on or flashing when the error occurs. Also, note if the control
responds to any key, button, or touchscreen selection after the error occurs.
Corrective Measures
One or more of the following corrective measures may be necessary:
Check Wiring
Perform these checks:
Trace the wiring as far as possible.
Wiggle connectors and ensure they are properly seated.
Test the connections with an ohmmeter.
Unplug and reseat circuit boards; sometimes connectors become tarnished

and do not conduct well. If the contact points on a printed circuit board (PCB)
are dull looking, polish them with a rubber eraser.
Perform a Reset
Technical assistance personnel may ask you to reset a circuit board or the machine.
To reset a PCB, press the board reset button, if present.
To reset the machine, switch the main power off and then back on.
Swap Out a Printed Circuit Board

If the PCB is bad or has an intermittent problem, or the connector on the board is not
making sufficient contact, then take the PCB out, clean the contacts with a rubber eraser,
and reinstall it, taking care to reseat it firmly. If the error is not corrected, remove the
board and replace it with a fresh PCB.
Turn off machine power before checking the circuit boards.
DO NOT perform any circuit board work with the power on.
Be sure to wear a static-sensitive strap (grounded to the electrical
cabinet) before handling any PCB.

Common Problems
Common operator problems are listed below, with potential causes and solutions. These
problems are usually noticeable without the help of error messages, although error
messages may occur. More than one problem can result from a single cause.
Machine operation failures can be a programming or a hardware problem. Hardware
includes electronic components, wiring, and electro-mechanical devices.
Power-on Self Test

When you turn on the machine, the control performs a self test. If an error in the control
circuitry is detected, a pattern of beeps may sound instead of the normal start-up beep. A
screen error message may appearfollow any on-screen instructions.
Machine Voltages
Missing or faulty connections can cause a combination of problems, as listed below.

Table 411. Troubleshooting: Missing or Faulty Connections
Fluctuating voltages to the machine may occur when power usage in your region is high
(typically on a very hot or cold day). See the following table.
Causes
Power sag
Power spike
Problems
Solutions
Fuse blows
Power is lost
Motor(s) overheat
Repair faulty in-plant wiring.
Microprocessor
and/or control PC
boards fail
Machine stops
and/or data is lost.
Move any other machines on the circuit to

separate circuits.
Move any nearby high current switching

devices (arc welders, inductive motors)
away from the machine.
Properly ground equipment.
Install surge protection to insulate against

lightning strikes.
Table 412. Troubleshooting: Power Fluctuation
704-0214-210
If a machine malfunction occurs, then consider the following issues:
Is another machine that uses high current connected to the AC distribution

power supply line?
Is the ground impedance of the AC distribution power supply line sufficient?
Are there fluctuations in the input voltage to the machine?
Is there a source of noise nearby (crane, welder, etc.)?
If other CNC or NC machines are connected to the same group of circuits, do

any of those machines demonstrate similar problems?
Was another machine operating at the same time the problem occurred?
Does the problem occur mainly at a certain time of day?

Power surges can occur when large loads are suddenly placed on, or
removed from, an electrical system.
Coolant System
Refer to the table below if a problem occurs with the coolant system.
Problem
Coolant flows
slowly or stops.
Coolant fails to
start.
Cause
Solution
Clogging due to
dirty coolant.
Flush lines, clean filters, drain and refill

the system with fresh coolant.
Pump is not
working properly.
Coolant is not
programmed to
be On.
Check and service the pump. For mist

system, check shop air pressure.
Check the operating mode (auto or
manual) or programming.
Check connector.
Coolant pump not

working.
Table 413. Troubleshooting: Coolant System
Motion and Spindle Rotation

Refer to the table below if a problem occurs with the spindle unit.
Cause
Solution

Table 416. Troubleshooting: Machine Chatter
704-0214-210
Refer to the table below if small errors in dimensions show up occasionally.

Cause
Solution
Temperature fluctuates as the

part is machined.
Stabilize the temperature of the blank by providing

enough coolant while machining.
Table 417. Troubleshooting: Errors in Dimensions
Environmental Conditions
Temperature and other environmental variables can cause problems that might otherwise
be attributed to the machine.
When the electrical cabinet overheats, control power is disabled and a message appears
on the screen until the cabinet temperature sensor registers a temperature drop to an
acceptable level. If this error condition occurs, make certain the cabinet is not subject to
an additional heat source, such as a space heater or bright sunlight from a nearby
window.
Problems
Causes
Solutions
Relatively small
dimensional
problems occur
in the product.
Metal blanks stored in

temperatures much higher or
lower than the temperature
of the machining area can
expand or contract during
and after machining.
Extreme temperatures are
typically the problem, and/or
the environment is too humid
or too dusty.
Before machining, move the blanks to

the machine area and allow the blanks
time to reach ambient temperature.
Dust, debris,
rust or
discoloration
accumulates on
work surfaces.
Improve the machine environment. For

example, close the machining area to
outside dust and install air conditioning
to lower room temperature and
humidity levels.
