2014 HURCO VMX 60i VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2014 Hurco VMX 60i is a large-format 3-axis vertical machining center in the VMX series, offering 60 inches of X-axis travel and a correspondingly large worktable for machining long structural components, large fixtures, and extended multi-part production setups. Axis travels measure 60 inches in X, 26 inches in Y, and 24 inches in Z, with a 72 by 24 inch table providing one of the largest work surfaces in the VMX range. A 30 HP 40-taper spindle delivers continuous power at speeds up to 10,000 RPM, supporting productive material removal across steel, aluminum, cast iron, and specialty alloys. The Hurco WinMax i-series control combines a conversational twin-screen programming interface with full ISO G-code compatibility, Ultimotion toolpath optimization, and Ethernet-based DNC connectivity for seamless integration into networked production environments. The VMX 60i is built on a heavily ribbed cast-iron column and base, with linear guideways and precision ground ballscrews ensuring consistent accuracy across the full 60-inch X-axis travel. High-resolution encoder feedback and thermal compensation maintain positioning accuracy during extended production runs. Weighing approximately 16,000 lbs, the VMX 60i provides the structural mass needed for vibration-free cutting of large and heavy workpieces. The machine is suited for aerospace structural panels, long automotive tooling, energy sector components, large mold bases, and any application requiring exceptional table length with modern CNC control capability.
