Hurco Companies VMX30UHSI VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a compact 9.8" x 9.8" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 440 lbs, suitable for precision machining of moderate-size parts. The machine operates with 5 controlled axes (X, Y, Z, A rotary axis) allowing complex 5-axis machining without a U axis. The travels are 30" in X, 20" in Y, 20.5" in Z, with an A-axis rotation of 140° enabling versatile angular machining. The vertical spindle uses an HSK63 taper with a high-speed capability up to 18,000 RPM powered by a 47 HP motor rated for 30-minute duty, providing excellent torque and rigidity for heavy material removal. Tool handling is managed by a 24-tool arm-type automatic tool changer with an optional upgrade to 40 tools, delivering rapid 3-second tool changes and 7-second chip-to-chip times for enhanced productivity. Rapid traverse and maximum feed rates reach 1,575 ipm for all linear axes, supporting efficient high-speed machining cycles. Optional support can be added for index tables and rotary tables to further enhance flexible fixturing capabilities. The robust construction, combined with advanced CNC control integration, provides stability and precision for various industrial milling applications requiring high spindle power and multi-axis motion control. This machine is suitable for mold making, aerospace components, and precision engineering tasks demanding tight tolerances and fast tool changeovers.
