HURCO VM5I VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

The Hurco VM5i is a CNC vertical machining center designed for precision and productivity in a compact footprint. It features a 3-axis configuration with travel capacities of 18" (X), 14" (Y), and 14" (Z), accommodating a wide variety of machining tasks. The machine is powered by a 7.5 kW (10 hp) spindle motor capable of reaching speeds up to 8,000 RPM, making it suitable for efficient machining of metals and composites. The VM5i uses a CAT-40 taper spindle and a 16-station automatic tool changer, facilitating rapid tool indexing to enhance operational efficiency. Its solid cast iron frame and one-piece machine base provide stability and rigidity, ensuring high-quality surface finishes and consistent accuracy. Controlled via Hurco's proprietary CNC system, the VM5i supports complex machining programs with dynamic precision. The table size is 18" by 14" (457 x 356 mm), supporting workpieces up to 250 kg, and the overall machine weight is around 5,800 lbs, striking a balance between compactness and robustness. This machining center is widely used across industries such as automotive, aerospace, and medical device manufacturing, where high standards of quality and repeatability are critical. The VM5i’s combination of power, travel, and advanced control make it a versatile asset for batch production and prototyping in demanding manufacturing environments.
