Hurco Companies VMX50I-50T VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust CAT 50 spindle with 8,000 RPM maximum speed and 29.70 HP (30-minute rating), delivering reliable performance for medium to heavy-duty machining operations. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 3,000 lbs on a 59" × 26" work table, with optional support for index and rotary table configurations to enhance versatility for complex part geometries. Three-axis CNC control provides X, Y, and Z travels of 50", 26", and 24" respectively, each capable of rapid traverse rates up to 944 ipm, enabling efficient stock removal and positioning. The 30-position swing arm automatic tool changer delivers quick tool changes, minimizing nonproductive cycle time during multi-operation jobs. CAT 50 taper specification offers superior rigidity and stability compared to smaller taper standards, making this machine well-suited for roughing, finishing, and precision work on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The machine delivers consistent cutting feedrates of 944 ipm across all axes, supporting productivity across diverse applications including aerospace components, industrial parts, and mold manufacturing. Its compact footprint and proven spindle/table combination make it an ideal platform for shops requiring dependable precision machining with strong torque characteristics for aggressive cutting strategies.
