The TM 6i is Hurco's compact slant-bed turning center for general-purpose work, built on a one-piece cast-iron base. A 12-station turret works beside an A2-5 spindle, and the Hurco MAX5 control turns the drawing into a part with minimal setup.

Why a conversational control for small-batch turning?

A G-code-only control makes a shop key in every line for a batch of ten, so the setup time eats the profit. The TM 6i's MAX5 control programs from the drawing, so a 316 mm part goes from print to part fast — the reason a small batch stays profitable instead of being priced out of the shop.

• 316 mm turning diameter, 45 mm bar
• A2-5 spindle, 6,000 rpm, 11.5 kW
• 12-station turret
• Hurco MAX5 conversational control

Against a G-code-only lathe, the TM 6i cuts the programming time on short runs — the setup speed that makes small batches pay.
