Hurco Companies VMX84I-50T VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust 86" x 34" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 5,000 lbs, ideal for large, heavy-duty machining tasks. The vertical spindle utilizes a CAT 50 taper and is rated for a maximum speed of 8,000 RPM with a 30 HP motor rated for 30 minutes, delivering strong power for diverse milling and drilling operations. The machine operates on three axes (X, Y, Z) with travels of 84", 34", and 30" respectively, each axis offering a maximum feed and rapid traverse rate of 530 inches per minute, enabling efficient high-speed machining of substantial components. Tool handling is managed via a 32-tool Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) with a swing arm carrier design, facilitating flexible tool use and quick changes, though no pallet changer is provided. Optional support tables and rotary tables are available to enhance workholding and multi-axis capabilities. The absence of a U axis points to standard 3-axis milling functionality. This configuration balances high workpiece capacity and machining envelope with moderate spindle speed and tooling capacity, suitable for applications in heavy machinery, aerospace, or large mold manufacturing demanding precision on substantial parts. The CAT 50 taper provides reliable, rigid tool holding for both roughing and finishing processes. Overall, this vertical machining center combines a large table, powerful spindle, and versatile tooling to accommodate large-scale, high-weight components with efficient, precise 3-axis machining.
