Hurco Companies VM10I VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 30.000 inches in length by 16.000 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 1,500 lbs. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle utilizing a CAT 40 / Big Plus® (CAT/BT 40) taper, with an optional BT #40 taper, delivering high rigidity and precision for demanding milling operations. The spindle achieves a maximum speed of 12,000 RPM and is powered by a 15.00 HP motor (30-minute rating), ensuring efficient material removal and excellent surface finishes. Tooling is managed by a 24-station swing arm tool changer, with a tool change time of 3.00 seconds and a chip-to-chip time of 8.00 seconds, optimizing productivity. The machine operates on three axes (X, Y, Z), with travels of 26.000 inches (X), 16.000 inches (Y), and 20.000 inches (Z). Maximum feed rates and rapid traverse speeds for all axes are 945 ipm and 1,102 ipm, respectively, enabling fast and accurate positioning. The system supports optional index and rotary tables for enhanced versatility. The Big Plus® spindle design ensures dual contact between the tool holder and spindle, improving tool rigidity, repeatability, and overall machining accuracy. This configuration is ideal for high-precision and high-productivity applications in a variety of manufacturing environments.
