2019 HURCO BMC50/50/M VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2019 Hurco BMC50/50/M is a 3-axis vertical machining center from Hurco's large-format BMC series, featuring 50 inches of X-axis travel, 26 inches of Y-axis travel, and 24 inches of Z-axis travel. The "M" suffix designates the metric package configuration. The worktable measures 64 inches by 24 inches, providing an exceptionally wide fixturing surface suited to large single-piece components, tombstone fixturing systems, and extended multi-part production setups. The spindle is rated at 30 HP and reaches a maximum speed of 8,000 RPM through a CAT40 taper, providing the power and torque range required for aggressive material removal in steel, cast iron, and aluminum across the full travel envelope. Rapid traverse rates on all three axes support efficient cycle times during complex multi-operation sequences on large workpieces. The 2019 BMC50/50/M is equipped with Hurco's current WinMax conversational CNC control with up-to-date software, enabling simultaneous conversational and G-code programming at the machine without an external CAM system. WinMax features a large touchscreen display, DXF file import, Ethernet connectivity, UltiMotion advanced motion control for improved surface finish, and built-in toolpath simulation. The 2019 model benefits from Hurco's current manufacturing quality standards. Standard equipment includes a 24-tool automatic tool changer for extended unattended operation. Available options include coolant-through-spindle, chip conveyors, fourth-axis interface, and probing systems. Machine weight is approximately 18,000 pounds, providing the structural rigidity and vibration damping required for accurate machining of large workpieces across demanding production cycles. The BMC50/50/M is well suited to aerospace, mold-and-die, and large-part contract manufacturing applications.
