Hurco Companies VMX42HSRTI VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a **50" x 24" table** capable of supporting workpieces up to **3,000 lbs**, with optional support via indexing or rotary tables. It operates on a **5-axis CNC system** (excluding a U axis) with travels of **42" (X), 24" (Y), and 24" (Z)**, all running at rapid traverse and max feed rates of 1,575 ipm. The spindle is vertically oriented with an **HSK 63A taper**, delivering up to **18,000 RPM** and a **30-minute power rating of 47 HP**, optimized for high-speed, high-torque machining requiring rigid tool engagement. Tool handling is managed by a **40-tool Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) equipped with a swing arm**, with a rapid tool change time of 3 seconds and chip-to-chip time of 7 seconds. No pallet changer or U-axis is included. This configuration suits heavy-duty milling, complex 5-axis operations, and rapid production, supporting large, heavy workpieces with precision and efficiency. The HSK 63A taper ensures strong mechanical interface and rigidity, ideal for demanding machining that requires stable torque and high spindle speeds. Optional table support systems extend flexibility for larger or more complex workpieces. Overall, this machine integrates robust structural capacity, high-output spindle power, extensive tool capacity, and five-axis control to facilitate advanced milling tasks across various high-precision manufacturing sectors.
