Hurco Companies VMX24DI VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This vertical machining center features a spacious 30" x 20" work table with a maximum workpiece capacity of 3,000 lbs, suitable for mid-to-large production components. The machine is equipped with a vertical CAT 40/BT 40 spindle incorporating BIG-PLUS dual-contact technology, which simultaneously engages the spindle taper and face to maximize tool rigidity and reduce deflection. With a maximum spindle speed of 15,000 RPM and 12 HP (30-minute rating), the machine delivers robust cutting performance across diverse materials and applications. The three-axis configuration provides 24" of travel on both the X and Z axes and 20" on the Y axis, enabling complex multi-directional machining operations. All axes offer rapid traverse rates of 1,260 IPM with programmable feed rates up to 1,260 IPM, ensuring efficient cycle times and precision positioning. The 30-station swing-arm automatic tool changer provides rapid tool indexing, minimizing production downtime. The BIG-PLUS spindle system ensures superior repeatability and dimensional accuracy by maintaining consistent tool holder positioning within 1 micron, while also improving surface finish quality and extending tool life. Optional support equipment includes both index tables and rotary tables for specialized applications. This combination of cutting power, precision, and tool capacity makes this VMC ideal for aerospace, mold manufacturing, and general precision machining industries requiring reliable, high-accuracy production capabilities.
