2021 HURCO VMX24HSI VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2021 Hurco VMX24HSI is a compact 3-axis vertical machining center that combines the proven VMX24 platform with a high-speed spindle and Hurco's i-series WinMax control, optimizing the machine for high-efficiency machining of aluminum alloys, hardened steels, and precision small-feature components. Axis travels measure 24 inches in X, 16 inches in Y, and 20 inches in Z, with a 30 by 16 inch worktable supporting standard vise and fixture configurations. The 15 HP high-speed spindle reaches a maximum of 15,000 RPM, delivering the elevated surface speed required for high-feed aluminum finishing, die steels, and small-diameter tool applications where conventional spindle speeds are a limiting factor. The WinMax i-series control provides enhanced twin-screen conversational programming with Ultimotion toolpath optimization, enabling fast, smooth toolpath execution suited to the high-speed cutting strategies the spindle supports. Full ISO G-code compatibility allows integration with CAD/CAM systems and DNC program loading. High-speed linear guideways and precision ballscrews on all axes are optimized for rapid feed rates and quick axis reversals demanded by high-speed machining cycles. Built-in networking and simulation capability support pre-cut program verification and remote program management. The VMX24HSI is suited for medical device components, precision mold cavities, aluminum aerospace details, and any application where elevated spindle speed is a key productivity driver in a compact machine footprint.
