Hurco Companies VMX64I-50T VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a large work table measuring 66" x 35" capable of supporting workpieces up to 6,000 lbs, ideal for heavy-duty machining tasks. The machine operates with a vertical spindle equipped with a CAT 50 taper, providing a robust and stable tool-holding interface commonly used in high-power applications. The spindle delivers up to 8,000 RPM with a 30 HP motor rated for 30 minutes, ensuring effective material removal and surface finish quality. Tool management is facilitated by a 32-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) with a swing arm carrier, enhancing machining efficiency without manual intervention. The CNC system controls three linear axes (X, Y, and Z) providing travels of 30" x 34" x 30", respectively, all capable of rapid traverses up to 709 inches per minute and maximum feed rates of 530 inches per minute, allowing for fast and precise machining operations. Optional support tables can be integrated for additional workpiece stability. The absence of a U axis limits rotary or tilt capabilities, making this machine best suited for conventional 3-axis milling. This center delivers a balance of high spindle power, substantial workholding capacity, and automated tooling, targeting heavy and medium-duty applications such as die/mold making, aerospace parts, and large component manufacturing. Its CAT 50 spindle taper and 30 HP output align with industry standards for rigidity and cutting force required to handle large, high-mass components with precision and efficiency.
