2014 HURCO VM10UHSI VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2014 Hurco VM10UHSI is a 5-axis universal vertical machining center combining the simultaneous 5-axis capability of the VM10U with a high-speed spindle and Hurco's WinMax i-series control. The "U" designates 5-axis universal configuration with trunnion-style tilting rotary table, the "HS" indicates a high-speed spindle reaching 18,000 RPM, and the "I" suffix designates the enhanced i-control platform with improved processing speed and connectivity. Axis travels are 20 inches in X, 16 inches in Y, and 15.7 inches in Z, with the A/C trunnion providing the additional two axes for full simultaneous 5-axis contouring. The spindle delivers 29 HP at speeds up to 18,000 RPM through a CAT40 taper, well suited to high-speed machining of aluminum aerospace components, titanium medical implants, and precision mold cavities where elevated spindle speed and 5-axis interpolation are both required. The 2014 VM10UHSI is equipped with Hurco's WinMax i-series control with 5-axis programming capability, enhanced processing speed for complex simultaneous contouring, expanded memory, and advanced connectivity. WinMax supports conversational and G-code programming for 5-axis work, STEP and DXF import, integrated simulation, and UltiMotion advanced motion control optimized for smooth multi-axis contouring. Machine weight is approximately 8,000 pounds. Standard equipment includes a multi-tool ATC and full coolant and chip management systems. The VM10UHSI is positioned for demanding 5-axis applications in aerospace, medical, mold-and-die, and precision manufacturing environments where simultaneous 5-axis machining, high spindle speed, and advanced control capability are required in a compact machine footprint.
