Hurco Companies VM20I VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This vertical machining center features a robust 46.0" x 20.0" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 2,000 lbs, with optional index and rotary table support for enhanced versatility. The vertical spindle utilizes a CAT 40 / Big Plus® (CAT/BT 40) taper, ensuring high rigidity and precision through dual contact between the tool holder and spindle face, which improves tool life, surface finish, and repeatability. The spindle delivers up to 12,000 RPM and a 30-minute rated power of 20 HP, making it suitable for demanding high-speed and heavy-duty machining operations. Tooling is managed by a 20-station ATC swing arm with a rapid 3.0-second tool change time and 8.0-second chip-to-chip time, optimizing productivity. The machine provides three linear axes (X, Y, Z) with 20.0" of travel on each, supporting maximum feed rates of 945 ipm and rapid traverse speeds of 1,102 ipm for efficient material removal and precise positioning. The combination of a high-power spindle, advanced tooling system, and rigid table support enables this machining center to handle a wide range of complex milling, drilling, and tapping applications with high accuracy and reliability.
