2020 HURCO VM30I VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2020 Hurco VM30i is a 3-axis vertical machining center that pairs the high-capacity VM30 mechanical platform with Hurco's advanced WinMax i-series control. Axis travels span 40 inches in X, 20 inches in Y, and 24 inches in Z, and the 48 by 20 inch worktable provides ample surface area for large fixtures, vises, and multi-part configurations. The 25 HP 40-taper spindle reaches a maximum speed of 10,000 RPM, delivering the torque and speed range needed for productive cutting across steel, cast iron, aluminum, and titanium alloys. The WinMax i-series control features an upgraded processing platform and enhanced twin-screen interface, supporting conversational and ISO G-code programming with instant mode switching and on-screen simulation. Ultimotion toolpath optimization reduces non-cutting time and improves surface finish by smoothing motion through complex toolpath transitions. Built-in networking supports Ethernet-based DNC, program management, and remote monitoring capabilities. The VM30i is constructed with a heavy cast-iron frame, linear guideways on all axes, and high-resolution encoder feedback for consistent positioning accuracy. An automatic tool changer, high-pressure coolant options, and robust chip management features support high-throughput production. At approximately 11,000 lbs, the VM30i delivers the rigidity and reliability required for aerospace components, automotive tooling, large mold cavities, and precision structural part machining.
