Hurco Companies VM30I VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust 52.000" x 20.000" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 2,000 lbs, with optional index and rotary table support for enhanced versatility. The spindle is configured for CAT 40 / Big Plus® (CAT/BT 40) taper, ensuring high rigidity and precision through simultaneous taper and face contact, with an optional BT #40 taper. It delivers a top speed of 12,000 RPM and 20.00 HP (30 min rating), ideal for demanding milling applications. Tooling is managed by a 24-station ATC swing arm with a rapid 3.00-second tool change and 8.00-second chip-to-chip time, maximizing productivity. The machine operates on three linear axes (X, Y, Z), each offering 20.000" of travel, with a maximum feed rate of 945 ipm and rapid traverse of 1,102 ipm for efficient material removal and precise positioning. The combination of Big Plus® spindle technology, high-speed spindle, and fast tool change system ensures superior surface finish, dimensional accuracy, extended tool life, and improved repeatability. Designed for heavy-duty and high-precision machining, this vertical machining center is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, including aerospace, automotive, and mold manufacturing.
