2022 HURCO VMX24I VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2022 Hurco VMX24i is a compact 3-axis vertical machining center that updates the VMX24 platform with Hurco's WinMax i-series control, bringing enhanced processing power, improved graphical interfaces, and upgraded networking to an already capable mid-size VMC. Axis travels measure 24 inches in X, 16 inches in Y, and 20 inches in Z, with a 30 by 16 inch worktable that accommodates standard vise and modular fixturing systems. A 15 HP 40-taper spindle provides continuous cutting power to a maximum of 10,000 RPM, supporting productive machining of aluminum, steel, stainless, and engineering plastics across a broad range of operations including milling, drilling, boring, and tapping. The WinMax i-series control delivers an enhanced twin-screen conversational interface with Ultimotion toolpath optimization and full ISO G-code compatibility, enabling both at-machine conversational programming and seamless DNC integration with CAD/CAM systems. Improved simulation and toolpath verification capabilities reduce setup time and minimize risk of first-article errors. Ethernet-based networking supports direct program upload and download, remote monitoring, and integration into digital manufacturing environments. The VMX24i is constructed on a rigid cast-iron frame with linear guideways and precision ground ballscrews, weighing approximately 6,500 lbs, and is well-suited for precision job shop work, aerospace components, medical device manufacturing, and any application requiring a compact, modern-control VMC with proven mechanical reliability.
