Machine manufacturer Hurco was pleasantly surprised by the number of existing customers and new contacts ready to negotiate machine purchases on the company’s stand at EMO 2025, held in Hannover from 22nd to 26th September. In total, 14 machine tools valued at more than 2 million euros were booked at the show, early signs that the outlook for machine tool sales in European markets will improve over the coming months, following a period in the doldrums.

For Hurco, the event reaffirmed its status as a top trade show for metalworking and production technology. “It felt well timed, coming after years of investment caution by manufacturers, notably due to the pandemic and its aftermath, as well as supply chain disruptions”, the company announced.

Star of the show for Hurco was a new offering from the manufacturer’s in-house robotics division, the Profeeder Easy Desk 30, which was on show for the first time in Europe. Employing a higher-specification UR30 Pro Cobot that offers a 30 kg load capacity, compared to 12.5 kg available with the popular cobot models currently sold by Hurco, it was integrated with a Hurco VMX42Di 3-axis vertical machining centre.

The new cobot enables heavier components to be handled, while maintaining the benefits of easy programming and quick changeover offered by the efficient user interface that allows programming directly at the Hurco Max 5 twin-screen control. For Easy Desk 30, heavy-duty workholding and grippers from Schunk are preferred. Furthermore, an additional proximity sensor is incorporated that pauses the motion of the Pro Cobot when an operator moves into the working zone.
