In the Program Manager, select New, then create a Job List

Name the new .HJL file, then open it from the Program Manager

We'll give this Job List a name and description.

We can give the job a name and description as well.

The procedure is the same for multiple files. Select the ones you need, and add them to the job.

Select Surface Finish adjusts servo gains, cornering tables, acceleration and jerk parameters to maximize quality and minimize cycle time.

Choose you settings between 1 (best) and 100 (fastest)

and cut cleaner parts faster!

Winmax makes it easy to see how long a job will take

HURCO Compute Estimated Runtime also shows total tool changes

This drilled and tapped piece is not yet optimized

Unnecessary tool changes result in a long run time

Manually minimizing tool changes would be inefficient

INSERT FLOCS Adding the tool optimization block automates the process

Estimating Runtime now results in a more reasonable result

And tool changes are minimized

Hurco's Tool & Material Library option allows you to save tool setups once, and use them in any program.

Let's start by adding a standard 6061 Aluminum alloy

Now we'll make an end mill and define its parameters.

Supplier information and additional notes can be added for future reference.

The end mill is now listed with all our saved tools for use in any program
