2017 HURCO VMX10G VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2017 Hurco VMX10G is a compact 3-axis vertical machining center in the VMX series, designed to bring the proven VMX platform capabilities into a space-efficient footprint suitable for toolrooms, educational institutions, and small-part production environments. The VMX10G features a rigid cast-iron frame with precision linear guideways and ballscrews across all three axes, providing accurate and repeatable performance for milling, drilling, boring, and tapping operations on small-to-medium workpieces. The 40-taper spindle is driven by a capable spindle motor delivering a broad speed range for cutting aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and engineering plastics with equal effectiveness. The Hurco WinMax conversational control system provides the signature twin-screen interactive programming interface with Ultimotion toolpath optimization, enabling rapid part program creation from geometric input without requiring dedicated CAM software. Full ISO G-code compatibility is also supported for DNC integration and program transfer. The VMX10G includes an automatic tool changer, integrated coolant system, and ergonomic operator access, making it practical for fast job changeovers and short production runs. The compact design of the VMX10G makes it particularly suitable for shops with limited floor space that still require the full capabilities of a Hurco WinMax control system and a high-quality VMX-series spindle and frame, bridging the gap between entry-level knee mills and full-size production VMCs.
