HURCO VM20I VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center delivers robust performance with a 14.9 kW spindle power operating at up to 12,000 RPM, enabling high-speed precision machining suitable for aerospace, automotive, and tooling applications. It features a CAT 40 / Big Plus® (CAT/BT 40) dual-contact taper, enhancing tool and spindle rigidity by providing simultaneous taper and flange face contact. This design significantly reduces chatter, improves dimensional accuracy, minimizes Z-axis tool deflection, and increases tool life. The tool magazine houses 20 automatic tool changes (ATC), boosting efficiency for complex machining tasks. The worktable measures 20 inches in width and 46 inches in length, offering ample space for a variety of workpieces. The machine operates on a 3-axis system, controlled via an advanced Hurco CNC control (WinMax) system, which includes the MAX 5 hardware and conversational programming features that streamline programming and reduce cycle times. The compact footprint includes a height of 101.5 inches and the machine weighs 9,039 pounds, reflecting its solid cast iron frame and one-piece base that ensure stability and vibration damping during operations. This configuration supports high precision with a broad material range and rapid adaptation to part variations, making it ideal for demanding production environments requiring reliability, flexibility, and high throughput.
