Hurco Companies VMX42SWI VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust 50.000" x 24.000" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 3,000 lbs, ensuring high-capacity production for demanding applications. The machine is equipped with a standard rotary table for enhanced versatility, enabling complex multi-axis machining operations. The vertical spindle utilizes a BT #40 taper and delivers a top speed of 12,000 RPM, powered by a 48.00 HP (30-minute rating) motor for aggressive material removal and precision finishing. Tooling is managed by a 40-position ATC swing arm tool changer, providing fast and reliable tool exchange to maximize uptime and productivity. The machine supports 5-axis control, with X, Y, and Z travels of 42.000", 24.000", and 24.000" respectively, and a B-axis rotary table offering 180.000° rotation. Maximum feed rates reach 1,181 ipm across all linear axes, while rapid traverse speeds achieve 1,378 ipm, enabling swift positioning and reduced cycle times. Designed for high accuracy and repeatability, this machining center is ideal for complex, high-precision parts in aerospace, automotive, and mold-making industries. The absence of a pallet changer and U-axis maintains a focused configuration for rotary and multi-face machining tasks.
