2019 HURCO VM10UI VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2019 Hurco VM10UI is a 5-axis universal vertical machining center from Hurco's VM10 series equipped with the WinMax i-series control. The "U" designates 5-axis universal configuration with a trunnion-style tilting rotary table providing the A and C axes, and the "I" suffix indicates the enhanced i-control platform with improved processing speed, expanded memory, and additional connectivity relative to the standard WinMax control. Axis travels are 20 inches in X, 16 inches in Y, and 15.7 inches in Z, with the A/C trunnion providing full simultaneous 5-axis contouring capability. The spindle delivers 29 HP at speeds up to 18,000 RPM through a CAT40 taper, enabling high-speed machining of aluminum, titanium, and precision alloys. The 5-axis simultaneous capability allows complete machining of complex undercut, contoured, and multi-sided features in a single setup, eliminating refixturing errors and reducing cycle time. The 2019 VM10UI is equipped with Hurco's WinMax i-series control with 5-axis programming support, offering simultaneous conversational and G-code programming for 5-axis work, STEP and DXF file import, integrated 5-axis simulation, and UltiMotion advanced motion control for smooth multi-axis interpolation. The enhanced processing speed of the i-series platform supports faster block processing for complex 5-axis contouring programs and improved network integration. Machine weight is approximately 8,000 pounds. Standard equipment includes a multi-tool ATC and full coolant and chip management systems. The VM10UI is well suited to aerospace, medical, mold-and-die, and precision component manufacturing requiring simultaneous 5-axis capability with enhanced control processing in a compact machine footprint.
