Technical Description
The Hurco VM10Ui Vertical Machining Center is a compact, high-performance 5-axis CNC machine designed for precision machining of complex parts. It features an integrated trunnion table for true 5-axis simultaneous machining, providing greater Z-axis clearance and improved rigidity compared to add-on trunnion solutions. The machine offers X, Y, and Z-axis travels of 21 inches (533 mm), 16 inches (406 mm), and 19 inches (483 mm), respectively, enabling the production of medium-sized components with intricate geometries. The spindle delivers up to 8.9 kW (12 hp) of power and reaches speeds of 10,000 RPM, ensuring efficient material removal and fine surface finishes across a range of materials, including aluminum and lighter alloys. The VM10Ui is equipped with a 20-tool automatic tool changer (ATC), supporting rapid tool changes and minimizing downtime during production runs. The machine’s control system, featuring the Hurco MAX5 interface, allows for intuitive programming, including on-machine editing and offline programming, making it ideal for both prototyping and production environments. With a compact footprint and a height of 105.2 inches (2,672 mm), the VM10Ui fits well in most machine shops. The machine weighs 7,392 pounds (3,360 kg), reflecting its robust construction and stability during high-speed operations. The integrated trunnion table supports an A-axis range of +30° to -110° and a C-axis with 360° continuous rotation, enabling versatile part positioning and complex 5-axis machining. The VM10Ui is engineered for accuracy, speed, and ease of use, making it a popular choice for subcontract machinists and shops seeking advanced 5-axis capabilities in a compact package.
