HURCO VMX24S VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a spacious 30" x 20" work table with a robust 3,000 lbs load capacity, making it suitable for mid-sized production runs and diverse machining applications. The machine delivers impressive travel capabilities with 24" X-axis, 20" Y-axis, and 24" Z-axis movement, providing ample workspace for complex part geometries. The spindle operates at speeds up to 15,000 RPM with a CAT-40 taper interface, offering versatility for both roughing and finishing operations across various materials. With a 6" distance from spindle nose to table surface, the machine accommodates moderately tall workpieces and fixtures. The integrated 24-tool automatic tool changer enables extended unattended machining cycles and reduces setup time between operations. Rapid traverse rates of 1496 IPM on both X and Y axes, coupled with 1260 IPM on the Z-axis, optimize non-cutting movements for improved cycle times and productivity. The machine's substantial operating history of 47,738 hours indicates either recent refurbishment or potential wear considerations, making thorough inspection advisable. This configuration balances precision capabilities with practical production efficiency, positioning it well for tool and die work, component manufacturing, and general job shop applications requiring reliable mid-range CNC milling performance.
