Hurco Companies DCX22I VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This vertical machining center (VMC) features a large worktable measuring 82.7" in length and 63" in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 13,220 lbs, making it suited for heavy-duty machining tasks. The standard configuration includes a vertical spindle with a CAT40/DIN 40 taper, offering a maximum spindle speed of 12,000 RPM powered by a 24 HP motor rated for 30-minute duty cycles. The spindle design supports high rigidity and precision, ideal for a broad range of metal cutting operations. It incorporates an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a 40-tool capacity, enhancing productivity by minimizing manual tool changes. The machine operates on a 3-axis system with travels of 86.6" (X), 66.9" (Y), and 29.5" (Z), all capable of rapid traverses up to 945 inches per minute, ensuring efficient material removal and part handling. Optional features include a rotary table and pallet changer for extended flexibility in complex machining setups. No U-axis is present, focusing instead on robust 3-axis milling. The machine’s spindle taper, CAT40, is a widely accepted industry standard known for balancing versatility, rigidity, and reliability in CNC machining centers. Overall, this VMC offers a combination of a high load capacity, large machining envelope, powerful spindle, and extensive tooling capacity designed for heavy and precise machining operations across various materials.
